, double Olympic 1500m champion, grew up in the city.

were raised in south Yorkshire, while flamboyant featherweight boxing champion Naseem Hamed
was born and bred in Sheffield.
England World Cup-winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks
, a Sports Personality runner-up, Wimbledon semi-finalist Roger Taylor
