'''Roger Millward''' [[Order of the British Empire|MBE]] (16 September 1947<ref name="Birth details at freebmd.org.uk">{{cite web|url=http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=Pr4YWnIpSAisQ%2FNmdK7MAA&scan=1|title=Birth details at freebmd.org.uk|publisher=freebmd.org.uk|date=31 December 2016|accessdate=1 January 2017}}</ref> – 2 May 2016) was an English [[rugby league]] footballer and coach of the mid to late 20th century. A goal-kicking {{rlp|SO}}, he gained a high level of prominence in the sport in England by playing for [[Hull Kingston Rovers]] and [[Castleford Tigers|Castleford]], as well as representing [[Great Britain national rugby league team|Great Britain]]. Millward was inducted into the [[Rugby League Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rlhalloffame.org.uk/millward.htm|publisher=RLHallofFame.org.uk|title=Rugby League Hall of Fame – Roger Millward|date=25 October 2007}}</ref> |
|||
Millward was awarded the [[Order of the British Empire]] (MBE) in 1983.<ref name="RLW"/> |
|||
==Early life== |
|||
Millward was born in [[Castleford]], [[West Riding of Yorkshire]], England. |
|||
==Domestic career== |
|||
Millward began his professional career in September 1964, signing for his home town club [[Castleford Tigers|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 [[BBC2 Floodlit Trophy|Floodlit Trophy]]. Millward played in the position of {{rlp|SO}} 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 Tigers|Castleford]]'s victory in the [[RFL Yorkshire League|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county leagues|County League]] during the [[1964–65 Northern Rugby Football League season|1964–65 season]].<ref name="Statistics at thecastlefordtigers.co.uk">{{cite web|url=http://www.thecastlefordtigers.co.uk/playerprofile.php?pid=558|title=Statistics at thecastlefordtigers.co.uk|publisher=thecastlefordtigers.co.uk|date=31 December 2011|accessdate=1 January 2012|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216084345/http://www.thecastlefordtigers.co.uk/playerprofile.php?pid=558|archivedate=16 February 2012 }}</ref> Despite his lack of game experience, the international selectors were interested in Millward and picked him to play for the [[Great Britain national rugby league team|Great Britain team]] in March 1966 against [[France national rugby league team|France]] at the age of 18 and one of Great Britain's youngest players. |
|||
Millward played {{rlp|sh-hb}} in [[Castleford Tigers|Castleford]]'s 4–0 victory over [[St Helens R.F.C.|St. Helens]] in the [[1965 BBC2 Floodlit Trophy|1965]] [[BBC2 Floodlit Trophy]] Final during the [[1965–66 Northern Rugby Football League season|1965–66 season]] at [[Knowsley Road]], [[St Helens, Merseyside|St. Helens]] on Tuesday 14 December 1965. |
|||
On 8 August 1966 Millward was transferred from Castleford to [[Hull Kingston Rovers]] for a fee of [[£]]6,000, (based on increases in average earnings, this would be approximately £185,900 in 2013)<ref name="Measuring Worth - Relative Value of UK Pounds">{{cite web|url=http://www.measuringworth.com/ukcompare/|title=Measuring Worth – Relative Value of UK Pounds|publisher=Measuring Worth|date=31 December 2014|accessdate=1 January 2015}}</ref> and made his début for Hull Kingston Rovers at [[Hunslet F.C. (1883)|Hunslet]] on 15 August 1966 and helped the club win the [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]], and retain it in the 1967 season. |
|||
In the 1968 season Millward finished as the top try scorer for [[Hull Kingston Rovers]] with a total of 38 tries in that season, picking up the supporters' player of the year award. Due to his good form he was awarded a call up to the [[Great Britain national rugby league team|Great Britain squad]] for the [[Rugby League World Cup|1968 World Cup]] which Britain lost to [[Australia national rugby league team|Australia]]. |
|||
In 1969 at the age of 21 Millward was given the captaincy of [[Hull Kingston Rovers]] and was also voted the supporters' player of the year for the second time as well as being honoured with the title of Rugby League Players No 6 "Player of the Year". |
|||
In the mid-1970s Hull Kingston Rovers had become a dominant force in the world of rugby league thanks in part to Millward's playmaking abilities. Although Hull Kingston Rovers were now one of the top clubs in British rugby league the major awards eluded Millward during his career at Hull Kingston Rovers with just two more Yorkshire Cup winner's medals (1971–72, 1974–75) and a runner's up medal (1975–76) along with two more supporters' player of the year awards (1974–75, 1975–76). In Millward's testimonial year he managed to set a new record for Hull Kingston Rovers with the most tries scored in a season, scoring 160 tries in total. |
|||
In the 1976 [[close season]] Millward decided to go and play for an Australian club, [[Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks|Cronulla-Sutherland]]. Millward made 14 appearances during his time in [[Sydney]] and scored one try as well as kicking 17 points for the then struggling club before returning to Hull. |
|||
In 1977 Millward was named as player/coach of Hull Kingston Rovers after the unfortunate death of the club's former manager [[Harry Poole (rugby league)|Harry Poole]]. Millward played {{rlp|sh-hb}}, and was the [[Coach (sport)|coach]] in [[Hull Kingston Rovers]]' 26–11 victory over [[St Helens R.F.C.|St. Helens]] in the [[1977 BBC2 Floodlit Trophy|1977]] [[BBC2 Floodlit Trophy]] Final during the [[1977–78 Northern Rugby Football League season|1977–78 season]] at [[Old Craven Park|Craven Park]], [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] on Tuesday 13 December 1977. He was again voted the supporters' player of the season. This then started a period of total domination for Hull Kingston Rovers. |
|||
In the 1978–79 season Hull Kingston Rovers were crowned Division One Champions (the first since 1925). In the 1979–80 season Millward and his Hull Kingston Rovers side made it to [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]] to play cross-city rivals [[Hull F.C.]] in the [[Challenge Cup]] Final, despite breaking his jaw midway through the first half, Millward continued and was awarded the trophy at the end of the game.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Cup heroes: Roger Millward|work = BBC Sport|publisher = [[BBC]]|date = 27 February 2004|url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_league/challenge_cup/3363571.stm|accessdate = 6 March 2011}}</ref> |
|||
Roger Millward played {{rlp|SO}}, and was the [[Captain(sports)|captain]], and [[Coach (sport)|coach]] in [[Hull Kingston Rovers]]' 10–5 victory over [[Hull F.C.]] in the [[1979–80 Challenge Cup|1979–80]] [[Challenge Cup]] Final during the [[1979–80 Northern Rugby Football League season#Challenge Cup|1979–80 season]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]], [[London]] on Saturday 3 May 1980, in front of a crowd of 95,000. |
|||
Roger Millward played {{rlp|SO}} in [[Hull Kingston Rovers]]' 25–12 victory over [[Featherstone Rovers]] in the [[1966–67 Yorkshire Cup|1966–67]] [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]] Final during the [[1966–67 Northern Rugby Football League season|1966–67 season]] at [[Headingley Stadium#Rugby ground|Headingley]] [[Headingley Rugby Stadium|Rugby Stadium]], [[Leeds]] on Saturday 15 October 1966, played {{rlp|SO}} in the 8–7 victory over [[Hull F.C.]] in the [[1967–68 Yorkshire Cup|1967–68]] [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]] Final during the [[1967–68 Northern Rugby Football League season|1967–68 season]] at [[Headingley Stadium#Rugby ground|Headingley]] [[Headingley Rugby Stadium|Rugby Stadium]], [[Leeds]] on Saturday 14 October 1967, played {{rlp|SO}}, and scored 4-[[Try#Conversion|conversion]]s in the 11–7 victory over [[Castleford Tigers|Castleford]] in the [[1971–72 Yorkshire Cup|1971–72]] [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]] Final during the [[1971–72 Northern Rugby Football League season|1971–72 season]] at [[Belle Vue (Wakefield)|Belle Vue]], [[Wakefield]] on Saturday 21 August 1971, played {{rlp|SO}}, and was [[man of the match]] winning the White Rose Trophy in [[Hull Kingston Rovers]]' 16–13 victory over [[Wakefield Trinity]] in the [[1974–75 Yorkshire Cup|1974–75]] [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]] Final during the [[1974–75 Northern Rugby Football League season|1974–75 season]] at [[Headingley Stadium#Rugby ground|Headingley]] [[Headingley Rugby Stadium|Rugby Stadium]], [[Leeds]] on Saturday 26 October 1974, and played {{rlp|SO}}, and scored a [[drop goal]] in the 11–15 defeat by [[Leeds Rhinos|Leeds]] in the [[1975–76 Yorkshire Cup|1975–76]] [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]] Final during the [[1975–76 Northern Rugby Football League season|1975–76 season]] at [[Headingley Stadium#Rugby ground|Headingley]] [[Headingley Rugby Stadium|Rugby Stadium]], [[Leeds]] on Saturday 15 November 1975. |
|||
Millward retired from rugby league a year after the historic challenge cup victory whilst playing for Hull Kingston Rovers' A Team against a [[Batley Bulldogs|Batley]] A Team. This was Millward's return to action after sustaining a broken jaw in the Challenge Cup Final victory but he was hit by a Batley player and sustained another broken jaw, his fourth in ten months. It was his last game. |
|||
==International career== |
|||
By 1969, Millward had established himself as a full Great Britain international after his début at 18 years of age playing {{rlp|so-fe}}, in the 4–8 defeat by [[France national rugby league team|France]] at [[Central Park (Wigan)|Central Park]], [[Wigan]] on 5 March 1966,<ref name="Statistics at thecastlefordtigers.co.uk"/> he went on to make 47 appearances for his country, including 29 Tests. Millward went on tour with Great Britain a total of five times and also toured with the [[England national rugby league team|England National Team]] on one occasion, captaining in both World Cup tournaments. |
|||
Millward’s international career was important as he was an integral member of Great Britain’s last Ashes winning Tour to Australia in 1970 and the last time any series was won against the Australians. |
|||
Millward played in the 1967 Test Series against the Kangaroo tourists in [[UK|Britain]] and the [[1968 Rugby League World Cup|1968 World Cup]], both campaigns being unsuccessful. However, his finest hour as an international came in the Great Britain touring party of 1970. He was overlooked in favour of former Castleford club mate [[Alan Hardisty]] for the first Test against the Australians. The Great Britain team was heavily beaten 37–15 and wholesale changes were made for the 2nd Test. Millward was drafted into the side, where he gave a superb match winning performance scoring 20 points (2 tries, 7 goals) in a 28–7 win to square the series. This equalled the match points record for an individual against the Australians, which had previously been set by [[Lewis Jones (rugby)|Lewis Jones]]. |
|||
The third Test decider was also successful and the Ashes regained. The 21–17 score did not reflect Great Britain’s superiority as they scored five tries to one, but were heavily penalised by the referee. Again, Millward rose to the occasion: with approximately five-minutes to go he scored the match and series winning try on the [[Sydney Cricket Ground]] (SCG). The try resulted from a thrust through the middle by the second rows, first by [[Jimmy Thompson (rugby league)|Jimmy Thompson]] and then a bust by [[Doug Laughton]], who then delivered a brilliant pass to Millward in space; Millward took the pass at pace and in turn then outstripped the opposition defence in an arcing run of over 40-yards to score. He also kicked three goals in the game. |
|||
Thereafter, Millward played with distinction for Great Britain in various internationals against the other nations, but a winning series against the Australians proved elusive. |
|||
During the [[1978 Kangaroo tour]] Millward captained [[Great Britain national rugby league team|Great Britain]] from [[stand-off half back]] in all three [[Test match (rugby league)|Test match]]es of the [[Ashes series (rugby league)|Ashes series]] which Australia won 2–1. |
|||
==Testimonial match== |
|||
Roger Millward's [[Testimonial match]] at [[Hull Kingston Rovers]] took place in 1977. |
|||
==Coaching== |
|||
After retiring, Millward stayed on the coaching staff at Hull Kingston Rovers throughout the 1980s, and early 1990s, and guided his team to another Challenge Cup Final and the Yorkshire Cup Final in the 1980–81 season, losing both matches but they did manage a Premiership trophy. Millward coached Hull Kingston Rovers to the [[John Player Trophy]] Final which they lost and second in the Division One Championship. Millward was later awarded an [[MBE]] by the [[Queen Elizabeth II|Queen]] for services to rugby league and sport in Great Britain. |
|||
Roger Millward was the [[Coach (sport)|coach]] in [[Hull Kingston Rovers]]' 9–18 defeat by [[Widnes Vikings|Widnes]] in the [[1980–81 Challenge Cup|1980–81]] [[Challenge Cup]] Final during the [[1980–81 Rugby Football League season#Challenge Cup|1980–81 season]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]], [[London]] on Saturday 2 May 1981, in front of a crowd of 92,496, and was the [[Coach (sport)|coach]] in the 14–15 defeat by [[Castleford Tigers|Castleford]] in the [[1983–84 Challenge Cup|1983–84]] [[Challenge Cup]] Final during the [[1984–85 Rugby Football League season|1984–85 season]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]], [[London]], on Saturday 3 May 1986, in front of a crowd of 82,134. |
|||
Roger Millward was the [[Coach (sport)|coach]] in [[Hull Kingston Rovers]]' 3–13 defeat by [[Hull F.C.]] in the [[1979 BBC2 Floodlit Trophy|1979]] [[BBC2 Floodlit Trophy]] Final during the [[1979–80 Northern Rugby Football League season|1979–80 season]] at [[The Boulevard (stadium)|the Boulevard]], [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] on Tuesday 18 December 1979. |
|||
Roger Millward was the [[Coach (sport)|coach]] in [[Hull Kingston Rovers]]' 7–8 defeat by [[Leeds Rhinos|Leeds]] in the [[1980–81 Yorkshire Cup|1980–81]] [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]] Final during the [[1980–81 Rugby Football League season|1980–81 season]] at [[Fartown Ground|Fartown]], [[Huddersfield]] on Saturday 8 November 1980, and was the coach in the 12–29 defeat by [[Hull F.C.]] in the [[1984–85 Yorkshire Cup|1984–85]] [[RFL Yorkshire Cup|Yorkshire]] [[Rugby league county cups|County Cup]] Final during the [[1984–85 Rugby Football League season|1984–85 season]] at [[Boothferry Park]], [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] on Saturday 27 October 1984. |
|||
During the 1983–84 season Hull Kingston Rovers dominated the scene with Millward's leadership, winning the League Championship as well as the Premiership to be the first team to complete the double and were rightfully crowned the 'Rugby League Team of the Year'. The 1984–85 season was almost as historic with victories in the John Player Trophy Final and being crowned Division One Champions for the fifth time, but lost out on the Premiership Final . |
|||
In 1984–85 Millward coached his side to the last major final of his tenure. The club were victorious in the Yorkshire Cup Final but were defeated in the John Player Trophy and Challenge Cup Finals which consequently saw the end of Hull Kingston Rovers' domination of English rugby league. Millward left the club after its relegation to Division Two. By 2009 Hull Kingston Rovers had revived its fortunes, riding high in 4th place in the Super League, and regularly fills the new [[Craven Park, Hull|Craven Park]] and the Roger Millward Stand. |
|||
In 1991 Roger, took the coaching job at [[Halifax R.L.F.C.|Halifax]], but was only there 17 months before resigning. |
|||
