JOHN THE REDBOY I have been a rovers fan all my life and my grandkids are as well:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47753.jpg



Quote: Burtons Forearm "I was lucky to see him when I was younger. Always carried himself as a gentleman.

In an arena where your courage is constantly tested Roger's bravery was beyond question. His calmness and ability as good as any.

As an international and club player one of the very best. Went to Australia and succeeded there.
As a coach was an innovator and a won everything.

Our greatest player

Our greatest coach

To be one is an incredible achievement. To be both is truly remarkable.

A fitting tribute should be made to this fabulous rugby man.

So sorry you've left us. Condolences to your friends and family.'"

Well said i do not think in fact i know not one of the last 20 teams have been able to match him

Rest In Peace Roger.

I didn't get to see him play but had the privilege of chatting to him in the Torch pub at Wembley last year before the game, he was a proud man that day so I can imagine what 1980 meant to him. A thoroughly decent human being taken too soon. Bless him.

We won't see his like again.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg



Has to be time for a statue outside CP.

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result:

Has to be. Who do we lobby to get it done.

I think it would be best if we lobbied no one and did it through fan subscription.

I would be very happy to lend my energies to that.

Over the years I spoke with him at a number of Rovers functions I can say that he is the most humble modest player I've ever chatted with always appreciated the fans. R.I.P the best Rovers player on and off the field.

Condolences from Leeds. Wonderful player and a lovely man. One of the British greats. Hull KR's finest. A terrible loss. Will be sadly missed.

That little man made East Hull and all those who support Hull KR feel good on so many occasions ......I wasn't even born when Hull KR beat our rivals Hull FC at Wembley in the Challenge Cup final, but my dad was there on that day and he says that it is one of the greatest days of his life .......Roger Millward gave him this wonderful memory and I am so grateful to him for doing so!

Even though I was too young at that time, I have grown up like so many Rovers fans to see Roger as a legend to us .......I managed to meet him a few times and he was such a kind and sincere man ......Not only was he one of the greatest rugby league players to have ever played the game, but he was also a true gentleman .......We will all miss him so much!

My dad always said that what he remembers most about Millward is how he would run into a pack of forwards, disappear, and then suddenly emerge on the other side .....Now that is someone truly befitting of the name "Dodger"! .......And, the other thing that my dad would always talk about that is often overlooked when we talk about the Dodger was his tackling technique .......Roger was such a little man, but he would always bring down the most biggest of forwards with such a perfect technique that many in the modern game should take note of.

RIP, little man ......You've made your mark on history .......You have gone down in history as one of the greatest half backs to have ever played the game and you will never be forgotten! ......RIP, Roger! .....Sleep tight and sweet dreams!

A sad day.
So sorry to hear that Rovers greatest has passed.
As a youngster I first saw him in 67, in the midst of the Airlie Birds fallow period. I was amazed at just how good he was. He was one of the reasons I loved the game. Seeing exceptional talent like his was really something, he was on a different level.
So many times I just wished we had him.
He was the reason you had the greatest period in your History. A true Legend of the game.
RIP Roger Millward.
thanks for the memories....well some of em.

If Rugby League Rocks, then Hull KR is its Soul.:

I like this idea, Goose. Is it worth setting up a Just Giving page, or is this Website for genuine charitable causes?

As I'm not on Facebook or Twitter or any of the new breed of social media, I don't know if such an initiative for a commemorative statue for Roger outside CP is underway.

Would appreciate your thoughts and those of our other fellow forumsters in this regard.

PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

Having started watching Rovers in the early 70's, I can say without a doubt that Roger has been a hero of mine for a long long time. I would be more than happy to help in any way I can. It's a fantastic idea and one worthy of everyone's support.

I don't do Facebook or any of that other stuff.

I've done some very, VERY, brief research and I think it would need to be crowd funded, again, I've done very brief research on that and I think it potentially could be a goer.

Obviously the club and first and foremost Roger's family would need to be aware and in agreement, with him being such a modest man maybe the last thing he would want would be something like this.

Perhaps we should just ideas here for now.
