Episode Details

Brian Hayhurst, a Huddersfield native who lived abroad for 26 years, is back home and celebrating his roots with a dazzling list of local legends—athletes, actors, politicians, entrepreneurs, and even textile mills—that deserve their moment in the spotlight, especially as Yorkshire Day approaches. Inspired by Josh Kerr’s mile record and Derek Ibbotson’s Olympic bronze and squash legacy, he highlights icons like Anita Lonsbrough, James Mason, Harold Wilson, the Whitaker showjumping dynasty, David Brown (Aston Martin), Amanda Owen, Lawrence Batley, Nina Hossain, Patrick Stewart, and even his old gym trainer Stan Booth. From global sports to Hollywood, industry, and grassroots community builders, Huddersfield’s impact runs deep—and it’s time the world took notice.
