00:00 Is there anyone that you'd like to see give him one of the Sheffield Legends stars outside the Town Hall?
00:07 Well one of the people I can think about is a Sheffield Wednesday player called Carlton Palmer.
00:13 Everyone knew about him back in the day. I think he was very well known.
00:17 You'd like to see him get a star there?
00:19 Yeah, definitely.
00:21 Yes, Peter Strindfaller.
00:23 What do you like about Peter?
00:25 Well he was a bit of a notorious character but he put Sheffield on the map.
00:30 He was a local lad that gave himself a worldwide profile.
00:37 Anyone else?
00:39 Yeah, Phil Oakley from Human League. Most underrated and deserving of much more praise.
00:48 Could you tell me please if there's anyone that you think ought to be given a star outside Sheffield Town Hall?
00:54 I'd probably say Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys.
00:57 Obviously brought a lot of review to Sheffield when he did that gig and was part of the week.
01:02 Billy Sharp and probably Kel Brook. Both did a lot of sport in Sheffield.
01:08 I'd say quite inspirational to the younger generation.
01:12 Any Sheffield Wednesday players as well?
01:14 No chance.
01:16 Sheffield's very own the Human League.
01:18 What do you think he's done that warrants it?
01:21 Pioneers of synth pop. Worldwide number ones.
01:24 And recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Dare album.
01:29 Who do you think they should give the next star to outside the Town Hall?
01:35 I think it should go to John Burkle.
01:37 Burkle did, yeah.
01:39 Because he's done a lot for charity and that. He's done it over a number of years.
01:43 And he still keeps doing it now.
01:45 He's raised a million pounds. He's still out more or less every day collecting.
01:51 Good luck to him.
01:53 If any years he can keep doing it as well I'd say.
01:56 Thanks.
