Could you tell me please who you think the greatest Sheffielder ever has been?
00:04
Oh yeah, that's an easy one. Gordon Banks.
00:06
Why's that?
00:07
Well obviously because he won the World Cup and he was the greatest goalkeeper ever.
00:11
Could you tell me please who you think is the greatest ever Sheffielder?
00:16
Probably I would think Alan Sheldon.
00:20
Why would you go for Alan?
00:23
First lady in space, aren't you?
00:25
Before anybody else?
00:28
Before anybody else.
00:30
She's got a lovely name after all.
00:33
And a lovely name so, yeah, probably Alan.
00:37
Could you tell me please who you think is the greatest ever Sheffielder?
00:41
I think Jess Ennis.
00:43
Why's that?
00:44
I think that she's for her World Olympics, winning its medals.
00:51
Could you tell me please who you think the greatest ever Sheffielder was?
00:55
Yes, it was Charlie Peece. He was from Darnham.
00:59
He was a known criminal, but everybody knew him.
01:04
Could you tell me who you think the greatest ever Sheffielder was?
01:09
To me it's got to be Joe Cocker, simply because he was a fantastic talent and he was a proper working class lad.
01:17
Which I think is what Sheffield is all about. People love sighting it, what Sheffield was built on.
01:23
Could you tell me please who you think the greatest ever Sheffielder was?
01:26
Well there's many of us, very, very many of us.
01:28
But given my footballing affiliations, I would say Don Megson, former captain of Sheffield Wednesday.
01:34
What did he do?
01:35
He played football. He wasn't a Sheffielder, but he settled in Sheffield and he was very successful and he was captain of our football club.
01:45
Could you tell me please who the greatest Sheffielder ever has been?
01:51
Well, one of them, I wouldn't say the ever, but Sean Bean is good.
01:57
I used to live next door to his grandad and he was a great bloke, his grandad. He was a top man, that's where I know him from.
02:04
And has Sean been pretty impressive for the city as well?
02:07
Yeah, he's good, yeah.
