Nigel Womersle Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Why North Sheffield ?Tony Christie is from Sheffield,but dont know wether hes from North,south,East or West, or maybe Amarrillo. ! :hihi:Did he ever find his way there ? I believe he was originally from Conisbrough, Doncaster. Michael Parkinson came from Grimethorpe, Barnsley. That is North of Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushbaby Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Although he was born in New York, TV Star Patrick McGoohan, (The Prisoner, Danger Man) lived in Sheffield for most of his growing up. I'm not sure which area he actually lived in, but he went to school at Pitsmoor, Scott Rd to be exact. Does that count as North Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
