The greatest Sheffielders poll: These are the 17 people you thought were Sheffield’s greatest ever

Our readers have voted in a poll, and this is who they have chosen as the greatest ever Sheffielders

They are the 17 people you have told us are the greatest ever Sheffielders.

Sheffield has produced some influential people over the years, with many of those helping transform the world we live in.

But who of those people is the greatest?

We put together a poll to find out, and opened it up to all our readers via our website. It was set up to allow only one vote per email address, and while we suggested some options, the poll allowed readers to vote for their own, named choices too.

And now the results are in, and here we list in the gallery below the 17 people who received the highest number of votes from the Sheffield public. Some are from modern Sheffield. Some are from the city’s past. But there was a clear choice for the number one spot.

Those who did not make the top 17 that we have included here also made an impressive list.

Those just missing out included Brendan Ingle, Bobby Knutt, Sir John Brown and Vikram Singh Barn.

Below we list and detail those who made the top places, in reverse order, finishing with your choice for the greatest Sheffielder.
