Billy Whitehurst who played for Newcastle and the Blades, who Alan Hansen said was the hardest player he has ever had to play against, was also, I have just read, a landlord in pub in the Rotherham area.
Anyone know the Rotherham pubs where Billy was landlord?
This clip seems to suggest, he did have a pub in Rotherham.

Did you know that Thurnscoe is an anagram of Horse C*nt?
Thurncoe does have a Rotherham postal code maybe he was confused?
He did run the Butcher's Arms in Thurnscoe which was as rough as arseholes.

Akinfenwa reminds me of Mr. T
I used to see Billy a lot at Askern greyhound track,i used to run a few decent greyhounds there at one time,and Billy once came up to me,and asked if i fancied one of our dogs in a particular race,i told him yes definitely,i saw him have £100 on it a 5/2,i can tell you i was ****ting myself waiting for the traps to open,anyway my dog obliged,and he came back up to me and said thanks for the bet and had a huge grin on his face,and gave me a few quid for giving him the info,i can tell you this he looks as hard as nails,but i got on ok with him.
