I used to go to the same school as Tonicha Geronimo (sorry if i spelled it wrong) who played Linda Glover in Emmerdale, she's not technically from Leeds but i thought i'd give it a bash!

Patrick Stewart (Luc Picard of Star Trek fame!)...I'm still surprised nobody has replied to my Jane Tomlinson nomination on this thread :-S That courageous lady should have a statue built to honour her on City Square to replace the Black Prince, as she is the epitomy of Leeds (and Yorkshire) doggedness and grit.
