Not really that well known, but i went to school with Elizabeth Moses from the age of 10. She's now married to the lead singer of the Lemon Heads Evan Dando, she has been a Calvin Klein model, and was stunning at school, won a levi jeans competition at 17 and never looked back.

(and what a wise move if i do say so). and i still see him now,seen as i live about 2mins from his house

Depends what you call famous.
I went to school with a kid that went onto play for Man City I think, and Chris Marsh, 1 of the best archers in the country.

I went to a primary school that had 10 future top flight footballers in a single year. I was the best of the rest. We won the Milk Cup in 1981, beating youth teams from Man Utd, Brazil and Real Madrid on the way to collecting the trophy. I didn't realise how big the Milk Cup was until about 2002.... Didn't know why the teacher was so overjoyed when we beat Real Madrid 7-0 either. Non of them ever made it really really big, but in the intervening years everyone else has played in the premiership at some stage

I went to school with someone who is on the verge of making it quite big in the music world (i.e Glastonbury last year, several appearences on high profile TV programmes, album reviewed in the papers)
Funny thing is, he has somehow 'lost' 7 years in age along the way

everyone over here can add a few "infamous" to the list. Didn't know Lemit Opik was a typical Belfast name though

I went to high school in Wakefield with Adele Stephens. She was in my english class. I'd post a picture but I can't find any where she has her clothes on! She was well shy and quiet as a mouse in class.

Just Simon Gregson from Corrie, didnt know him that well.
Lives round the corner as well, saw Ken Barlow the other day walking 2 Jack Russells, I was looking at the dogs and then noticed who it was, he looked at me as if to say "Yes its me, get over it".

In the year below me at school were Jonathan Woodgate (footballer):
, who was a total ****, and Chris Tomlinson (olympic long jumper):
I now work with the brother of Chris' fiancée (a Miss Great Britain runner-up), they're getting married in a couple of weeks time, in Italy.

You guys probably won't know these guys, although in the future you probably will. I went to Blythe Bridge High School in Stoke - On - Trent with Martin Plant ( very very bright lad, now a standup comedian ) and Steven Hollyman and his music band ( Steve is a heavymetal fan, brilliant with a guitar and very bright lad ).

I was in 6th form with one half of the 'Artful Dodger' you know the ones re-ee-wind, when the crowd say 'Bo - selector'...
Can't remember his name but was a nice enough guy, it was odd seeing him as dance music producer as he was well into his heavy metal at school.
Also went to school with former member of the Welsh Rugby squas, something Wyatt, odd thing is I can't even remember playing rugby at school, which could explain things.
