Autographs of Roger Millward
Roger Millward MBE (16 September 1947 – 2 May 2016) was an English rugby league footballer who played in the 1960s and 1970s, and coached in the 1980s and 1990s. A goal-kicking stand-off, he gained a high level of prominence in the sport in England by playing for Hull Kingston Rovers (captain) and Castleford, as well as representing Great Britain. Millward was awarded the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1983. Nicknamed “Roger the Dodger” for his elusive running, he was inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2000. Millward’s ability placed him in the top bracket of rugby league halves to have ever played the game.
Millward began his professional career in September 1964, signing for his home town club Castleford. He made his début on 3 October 1964 against Dewsbury Celtic, and won his first domestic honours in 1965 with Castleford picking up the Floodlit Trophy, playing scrum-half in a 4–0 victory over St. Helens. Millward played in the position of Stand-off and, due to the importance of such a position in rugby league, and due to the fact there were many more experienced players in the Castleford side at that time (such as Alan Hardisty and Keith Hepworth) Millward found it hard to break into the first team for any length of time. Millward played in Castleford's victory in the Yorkshire League during the 1964–65 season. Despite his lack of game experience, the international selectors were interested in Millward and picked him to play for the Great Britain team in March 1966 against France at the age of 18 and one of Great Britain's youngest players.
On 8 August 1966, Millward transferred from Castleford to Hull Kingston Rovers for a fee of £6,000 (equivalent to £141,000 in 2023), making his début for Hull Kingston Rovers at Hunslet on 15 August 1966; Millward was substituted at half time due to sustaining a leg injury. He helped the club win the 1966–67 Yorkshire Cup, playing as stand-off in a 25–12 victory over Featherstone Rovers at Headingley, Leeds on 15 October 1966, and helped to retain it in the following season, playing as stand-off in a 8–7 victory over cross-city rivals Hull F.C. at Headingley on 14 October 1967.
