The only famous person to go to any school that I went to was the football referee Howard Webb.
He went to my secondary school and every year he referee's a charity football match for a charity in memory of a friend of mine's brother who died of cancer a few years ago.

Plymouth College then? Tom Daley went to my school too until he left from bullying, you can guess which school that was!

Technically the most famous person to go to the same school as me is probably Myra Hindley... she went to Ryder Brow Secondary Modern before it became part of Spurley Hey High School, which I went too...
