    Is that the best plaice to meet Mrs Villa these days ? I used to meet her in Bluecoates ! By the way which waiting room was it ? Train Station, Doctors or Gods waiting room ??

    I would guess it was the doctors ? I know that Keith lived down Bramley way and was one of my all time favourites, I don't think he ever got above 5 ft tall ??

    Great story, Lolmorgan. Thanks for sharing it on here. Keith Bambridge was a great servant of the club and as you say part of that 1961 League Cup Final team.

    Keith Bambridge, one of the best, on and off the field, met him in hospitality not too long ago. And I was at the League Cup Final. Well, you should know him, Lol, you played in both legs!

    Keith and Lol were both Rotherham born lads who between them played over 450 games for the Millers. They are up there in our Hall of Fame
