Are there any worldwide known people from Hull? I'm updating the info about Hull on my site (fixing the errors the previous guy wrote 6 years ago). I haven't heard of any of the "celebrities/bands" he has written down Fat Boy Slim aka Norman Cook The Housemartins Everything But The Girl Mick Ronson Surely there must be somebody who is known worldwide?
Err... there's Reece Shearsmith, one of the blokes who made 'The League of Gentlemen' and 'Psychoville'. Tom Courtenay, some old bloke. Amy Johnson, first woman to fly around the world alone. Deano?
