Rotherham United


With some of the hills around here you can imagine the little boy going off to get his loaf of Hovis although he would probably look like a little chav today! It is about 7 miles to Rotherham from Sheffield but they are miles apart when it comes to hospitality. When I arrived at Rotherham I asked for Mark Hitchens, the liaison officer. He greeted me warmly and after a coffee he presented me with a signed pencil drawing of their longest serving player. Rotherham are in administration and have been docked 10 points but Mark showed that some things money just can't buy - friendship. I hope they soon get over the current financial difficulties. Photos were taken and I was told that I would be on their website later today and also in a match programme soon.
