Arthur Wharton Square has a ring to it.
Apparently the council were/are looking for a name for the square, that’s why all this came about.
Can’t wait for the new name it’s bound to be something stupid, maybe clown square would suit them (I’m being polite)

What I found laughable is the Councillor who said it had been rejected because they're from Maltby and that's not Rotherham.
The lads were born in Masborough and later lived on Beckwith Road at East Herringthorpe. Now having a part mirror image of my birth also being in Masborough and later living on Lockwood Road at East Herringthorpe, I can confirm they are both ares of Rotherham. What a thick Councillor.
No statue, there wasn’t enough local support or funding for the idea.
There’s one of him though at the National Footy Centre in Burton, which looks like he’s being crucified
Also one in the Footy Museum in Manchester.
So a third might just be being a bit excessive

They should have written and starred in the Super Mario Brothers film, it would have been much better (certainly couldn't have been worse).
St Quentin is a town in Northern France and is a really nice place to visit. They have over the years linked with sporting clubs from Rotherham and friendships have been made. I have been on a few occasions and the people are great. The very least that the twinning has done is that it has broken any stereotypes that may have been harboured by people on both sides.
Did Johnny Cash ever sing there?
