00:00 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.
