I was born in the same hospital as emile heskey apparently. Don't know if it's true or not. And not at the same time. Other than that i don't think there's much of note. Pete Doherty used to live in a village just outside of Swindon

None from Hinckley, but as for Leicester where I was born and lived til I was 7, well there's none other than the Elephant Man himself Joseph Merrick
 Never understood why the Elephant Man was considered a freak at the time and was part of a freak show. He'd fit in pretty well in Leicester city centre nowadays. |
