Roger Millward (1947 to 2016) was an English rugby league footballer born in Castleford, West Riding of Yorkshire, who played in the 1960s and 1970s and coached through the 1980s and 1990s. A goal-kicking stand-off, he began at his home town club Castleford in 1964 and moved to Hull Kingston Rovers in 1966 for a fee of 6,000 pounds, captaining the club from the age of 21. He represented Great Britain from the age of 18, including the 1968 World Cup, and captained England at World Cups. Nicknamed Roger the Dodger for his elusive running, he was appointed MBE in 1983, was inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2000, and is regarded as one of the finest halves to have played the game. After retiring he stayed on at Hull Kingston Rovers as coach.
