These 7 blogs are all about local lads who left their mark — not by shouting the loudest, but by doing something that mattered. Some wrote books, others kicked balls, and a few just quietly changed the world.

They’re not stiff old biographies. They’re cheeky, thoughtful stories — written by me, oavo — to remind us that legends don’t need to live in London or star in films. Sometimes, they’re just round the corner.

They’re not flawless — but they’re real. 💬📚⚽

And who knows? You might see a bit of your dad, your mate, or even yourself in one of ’em. ; )
