Millers legend was a second choice player.

Remember back to 1979/80 season, Ian Porterfield, an untried manager building a squad at Rotherham.
Porterfield approached Cardiff City over the possibility of signing a striker, Peter Kitchen was the target.
Cardiff told Porterfield that PK was not available, nothing doing, he had a decent scoring ratio and not
for sale.
Undeterred, Porterfield pushed the issue, to no avail.
The Cardiff manager did state that Porterfield could take Ronnie Moore at a price, a striker who rarely
scored. Not what we approached Cardiff for, but £95,000 was paid for a striker who was struggling to
score goals, the rest as they say, is history.
To emphasise the point that a striker can be very poor at one club, and fantastic at another club, look
at Tom Pope when he went to Port Vale!.
Don't judge an incoming striker at what he has done in the past, the future for him could be quite the opposite.
Ronnie was a second choice, and he was, and still is, a millers legend.

Very true. However, I can't think of a time when nobody signed and then they went on to score 25 goals and become a legend.

We once tried to sign nobody from nowhere. It came to nothing. I hear he's now a free agent so it may be that it's back on.
