No reports of whether he then kicked it around a bit or played keepy up.

    To add insult to injury after her death they sent her to Peterborough

    There’s rumours of a tunnel system between Manor and where Sheffield Castle/market was so she could attend mass in secret.

    There used to be a similar urban myth about a tunnel from St ledger Arms pub in Laughton and Roche Abbey.

    I had a great aunt that was in Marples Hotel when it was bombed in WW2

    She was led out of the wreckage via a tunnel in the basement

    ....and the first thing cash strapped Doncaster City will spend their money on?

    New Road signs and council stationary

    Thousands of pounds spent on the " new image"
