- A wonderful and unreleased movie showing behind the scenes footage of one of Rotherham United's greatest days. Winning the Third Division Championship on 02 May 1981 "Rotherham United v Plymouth Argyle"
Unforgettable memories, recognised several faces now sadly long gone, I was 19 @ the time, you do the maths!!
Fantastic memories, was 18 at the time! Halcyon days which are long gone but shall live with me for the rest of my days
Wow. So ace. Thank you.
UTM.
Teenage memories for me. Thank god we still have a club.
I was twelve. I can remember looking over my shoulder to see my granddad trying to keep up as I raced across the pitch to the dugout. I never knew this existed till today, and it's like watching a dream on film. Magical.
p.s. Still got my autographed copy of Millermen, and my 80-81 scarf. And my 80-81 tankard, comes out only for special celebrations. As Frank sings, 'It was a very good year'. ;)
I was at Oakwell that day the days before instant goal notifications and we were hearing Rotherham were losing while we’re winning 3-1 and getting a sniff of the title maybe. But the work had been done beating Rotherham to secure promotion. Fantastic season for both clubs with some players from both sides ( I think Ronnie Moore has forgiven us by now 😂) happy days
I'd love to see the episode of World in Action about Anton Johnson and his simultaneous interest in Rotherham & Southend United
Yeah, dodgy bastard, but he was always bang on with the fans. Reminded me of Terry Thomas the first time I met him though (not a good sign!)
Hell of a mix-and-match kit in there from Plymouth.
Fantastic memories who could ever forget Ada? And recognised the tea ladies! but the overriding memory? the atmosphere, totally amazing!!
Just came across this.....fantastic
Narrator sounds more like Rodney Bewes than Rodney Bewes
Love time capsules like this. I don't think The Millers lasted more than a couple of season before relegation? This is the season we got relegated to the 4th Division. Best thing to happen to us at the time though none of us knew it of course.
They should have gone up to D1 in '82.
D-Day wasn't as tense this.
They should play this song at games now.
Remember it well, our painted hastily painted bed sheet done that morning is clearly seen at 31:32….31:44…….such memories, BEN, HAMMY, WILLIE……RUFC R CHAMPS….still follow the millers although via internet/ you tube these days living in Aus.
I was there that day wot a day 22 i was two questions to ask who was the person that kept blowing that horn when the opposition took a throw in a free kick etc i thought it was the late keith gleeson and somebody else said it was another mate of mine pete douglas known as duggie i just cant remember not seen the latter since mid 80s and who was the guy in the bright red jumper think he was going in the sponcers end and i am sure in later years stood next to me
Nostalgic... whatever happened to the Chairman? Sounded Australian or South African on first interview , then appeared to be a southerner. Did he stay long?
South African

Plymouth Keeper not wearing gloves ?!?
Eee- by gum twas a grand day out indeed. When footy was footy, rather than the overpaid invaders who have took the working mans game from them, to the money making circus that we have today.
