Craig, who now lives in Miami, was happy to pose for pictures and sign autographs to a wealth of star-struck fans.

The former Bellemoor School pupil told the Daily Echo: β€œIt's an honour to have a plaque put up in my name. It's about showing the youth in Southampton that people can be successful if they have dreams and aspirations. If you work hard you can achieve anything.”
