Who?

Who is the Gerald Ratner this place is named after?
The famous (infamous?) Gerald Ratner was British; presumably this was someone else.
If he has a sports centre named after him he must be a bit notable; shouldn’t he at least be red-linked? (eg Gerald Ratner (whatever), or something). Does anyone know? Swanny18 (talk) 21:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
