Frecklington for me.
Cam mentioned this on the Barry Chuckle thread. Clubs like Brentford, Sutton Utd, Greensborough(?), Barnsley and many others have a Hall of Fame. The Millers should start one and invite the Rotherham public to nominate ex-players, managers, club officials and supporters. Usually players/managers have to have been retired for 5 years. Apologies if this has been covered on MM before.

My first few names would be Reg Freeman, Wally Ardron, Danny Williams, Ronnie Moore, Paul Hurst. I'd probably add Albert Bennett and Dave Watson but as you say there are loads who could stake a good claim. The club should consider it as it would imo spark some interest and publicity.
My team to go in would be
Clarke
Forest, Stancliff, Macca ,Breckin
Towner, Raggy, Talbot, Buckley
Goater, Mendonca
Clarke's a controversial choice. I can't decide between Roy Ironside, Roy Tunks, Seamus McDonagh and Mike Pollitt.
Far too many to name.
Richard finney Gerry Gow. Towner. Ronny.Forest.
Seasman. Could keep going.
Great keeper Clarke. I think his first game was at Rochdale in the cup and he had a nightmare. What a keeper he became.
The photographs of players alongside part of the stadium is sort of a Hall of Fame. Some great players in that lot with more to come hopefully.
Mellow, having said that where in the stadium could this hall of fame be kept?
Secondly, how many of these players should be allowed to be chosen and put on view per year?
Many many players to be discussed. How about Authur Wharton? Although he signed for Rotherham Town in 1889 he never played for United and didn't make that good an impression as he was the landlord of the Albert Tavern by 1891. A lot has been focused on him being widely recognised as the first ever black professional footballer. Would this be a reason for him to be considered?
