Pictured from a path which joins the fields from Wickersley Road. On the left is Rotherham Hospice which has fantastic views over the common and beyond towards the follies of the Wentworth Estate. The stadium and running track (partially visible on the right) is the scene of my greatest sporting achievement. It was here during a World Mental Health Day charity match against Johnny Quinn's All Stars in October 1998 that I successfully tackled Emlyn Hughes and stole the ball away. Happy memories and a sad shame that Emlyn was to pass away so prematurely.
