- Jim Mills, the name that sent shivers down your spine if he were your opposite number on the Footy field.
A proud Welshman who left home to seek his Rugby League fortunes in England for Halifax, before getting scouted for the North Sydney Bears in Australia, playing alongside immortal, Ken Irvine.
Jim Mills would return to England and play in one of the Great teams of all time, Widnes, the 'Cup King's', as well as touring with the British Lions on numerous occasions, and playing in the World Cup for his beloved Wales.
Jim was tough, feared, and never took a backward step on the field, and even though his career seemingly seemed in turmoil at the 1975 World Cup, Jim managed to etch himself into the history books as one of the best props and athletes to come from Wales, as he was inducted into the Welsh Sports Hall of fame.

If only we had a couple of Jim Mill's playing for Wales today a world-class forward who could get into any team. My team Cardiff would love to have a young Jim Mill's.
It would be pretty epic aye mate. Completely different era to today's game!
Jim Mills was one of hardest forwards to come out of Britain in rugby league and a great ball runner out wide
Absolutely mate. His stats are off the charts!
Great player hard as they come no backward step from this bloke 😊
Jim Mills was tough.Dereck Turner type,also Welsh.
Jim's memory is great. Awesome stories from when people were allowed to have a good scrap, and moving clubs seemed a bit more straight forward. Good questions Dave! #potplants #rockofgibraltar #18stoneskinny

What's your name mate just curious are you one of the Oneils Mylers Hulmes bros maybe or Darren Wright. Barry Dowd Ritchie Eyres. Dyreck Pike. Andy Currier. ? I remember most of them The Mole Elwell. can't be Mick Adams Rip
Vince Karalius known as the wild bull of the pampus. Possibly even more of an enforcer than Jim.
No doubt about that.Johnny Raper said so.
Jim Mills use to be boss at Widnes, he sold Martin Offiah to Wigan when they were going through hard times, probably buying to many union players
Yeah poor old Widnes ran outta money too... Tough times in UK footy for small cities
