It's time the club honoured Rimmo in some way - any suggestions?

    He's part of the fabric at Oakwell. Their should be something to remember him by when he is no longer with us. A reminder of his commitment. As suggested, maybe stand naming or something along those lines. What do other clubs do to honour such legends?
    I do think it would be nice for him to get the recognition whilst he is still with us though so we all get the opportunity to show our appreciation too.

    Name the laundry after him! Better still, a testimonial at Oakwell, 97 team v a similarly decrepit Wednesday/United 11? Or just any old Reds who just show up with their boots. And knock up a commemorative t-shirt or summat, get him some dosh for his ahem, old age. Have it in the summer when we're starved of footy having been knocked out the euros first round!

    Naming a stand in his honour would be a really nice touch.

    Rimmo is a lgend and someone I have known all my life. For those who haven't spent any time with the man then I suggest you do.

    He was so funny that in the days of TFI Chris Evans personally asked for him on his show.
    There is no bigger Barnsley legend than Rimmo and a stand is the least the club can do
