Find out which red-and-white icon drunkenly smashed through the window of a C&A department store. Whose war was spent fighting hand to hand in the Burmese jungle. Who used to leapfrog Mini cars in the car park, and "who lived out of a chip pan"! Discover and delight in the magical qualities of these 20 mere mortals elevated to cult status on Trentside.
