BRADFORD has been home to many legends in all sort of different fields over the years and it is time to honour those who have made the biggest impact.

This is the ninth part of a regular series with the latest five inductees into who would be named in a Bradford Hall of Fame.

They can be people who were either born in the Bradford district, or made a huge name with an association to the city.

Why not leave your own suggestions in the comments section below, as you have done in previous weeks.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

PROFESSOR DAVID SHARPE

Bradford surgeon Professor Sharpe OBE retired in 2014 after a career in plastic surgery spanning 40 years, treated dozens of victims of the Bradford City fire disaster on May 11, 1985, where 56 people lost their lives.

He then founded the Plastic Surgery and Burns Research Unit (PSBRU) at the University of Bradford, making the city a pioneer in the field of plastic surgery.

It is now recognised as one of the top research units in the country for skin healing and wound research.

Prof Sharpe was thanked by the Bantams faithful at their last home game of the 2013/14 season, against Crawley Town, in a ceremony organised by the Bradford City Supporters' Board and the burns unit.

PROFESSOR AJAY MAHAJAN

Prof Sharpe's work with the burns unit has been continued by Professor Ajay Mahajan, consultant plastic surgeon and director of research at PSBRU, since 2013.

He oversees the work carried out by the unit, including an appeal to raise £300,000 to mark its 30th anniversary in 2015.

He was awarded Professorship at the University of Bradford in recognition of his academic achievements last year.

Professor Mahajan has actively promoted research work at the university and has supervised research fellows carry out world class research in wound healing and scarring with an aim to improve healthcare for the future.

This pioneering work has been published and presented at various national and international meetings.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

HARRY CORBETT

Children's TV favourite Sooty was created by Bradford-born Corbett in 1948, after he bought the puppet from a stall in Blackpool for his son Matthew.

The Sooty Show has appeared on children’s television since the 1950s.

An interesting bit of trivia on Harry, when Prime minister Harold Wilson wished to have Steptoe and Son actor Harry H. Corbett awarded an OBE, the middle initial "H" was lost in the bureaucratic process, and the award went to Harry Corbett instead. Both were awarded the OBE on 1 January 1976, Harry Corbett being cited "for charitable services".

After he suffered a heart attack at Christmas 1975, his younger son, Peter (stage name Matthew), took over. But the elder Corbett did make occasional appearances on 'The Sooty Show' for several years with his son. Harry died aged 71 in 1989.

There was even a Sooty museum in Shipley as the famous yellow bear continued to make a number of appearances in the Bradford district over the years.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

FREDERICK DELIUS

The composer was born in Bradford in 1862 and would go on to lead a globetrotting life.

He took a 'gambling break' in Monte Carlo in 1882. He was sent to Florida to manage an orange plantation, but he soon reverted to his passion of composing music.

Delius worked in Paris and Germany and his work was influenced by fellow composers Edvard Grieg and Richard Wagner.

A Delius Society was set up in 1962 to celebrate his work.

The was made a Freeman of Bradford in 1932 and died two years later.
