To Wayne Waugh, thank you for your recommendation. Wherever you are, Grandma and Grandpa Waugh are watching over all of us--and we are widespread--Australia, England, Sweden and the USA.

Alex Gunningham
I think Crokodile Tears should be included, having made many excellent records in Cov studios for over 20 years.
Stacey Dodd
Clive Owen should get a star, he's Coventries most famous actor, and he's been in some great oscar worthy films! Nobody who isn't from Cov should get a star!

Gem
well- you would have to have Whittle, Godiva (but the person rather than the myth), the specials, James Starley (though not born in cov), Mo Mowlam. I'm not a fan of sports and personally don't see sporting achievement as reason enough to put people in there-but I'm sure the majority of people would disagree with me
Miss Susan F M Bawden
I would like to nominate my Grandfather Albert Ernest Bawden who was one of the many who were killed in the November Coventry Blitz of 14/11/1940. He was on duty as a Special Constable. I never knew him as I was born in the fifties but from the stories I have heard - to me he was a 'Legend'.
David Johnson

I think it must be limited to Coventry kids. That leaves out Jimmy Hill for example.
Fotballers like gary McSheffrey is a good shout and Speedway rider Frank Smith for the Bees who was a Coventry kid.
