I'd forgotten about that one Eric -great match!
... in a great season
One 4-3 score to the Millers against Coventry in 2001 at Millmoor, Mark Robins scored a hat trick that day, with a own goal the other for the Millers
What made it special was that me & my wife, & oldest son were guests of the chief executive of Swindon Town, so were sat in the Swindon Towns directors box, sat next to me was Andy King the Swindon manager, son was sat with the owner Terry Brady, ( father of Karen Brady ).
The Millers were 3-2 down at one point, in which Andy King decided to go to the dug out, it didn't help him with me & wife shouting the Millers on, Brady kept looking at us.
Then Robins got 2 more for the Millers, some Millers fans said to us at half time, why were we shouting for the Millers, when we were in the Swindon Town directors box, I said I've been a Millers supporter since I was 9.

I remember going to Crewe 8th September 1973 when we won 8-1 after being a goal down. That was a surreal experience. It was one of the few brighter moments that year in an abysmal season.
Typically in the reverse fixture at Millmoor we drew 1-1
I went to 41 out of the 46 games that season, our first ever in League 4. It is still our worst ever finish in the league.
1948. Ajax 0 Millers 4. That's my favourite result.
How often could you say that beating Liverpool 6-1 was not good enough? The Millers can:

1955 we essentially needed to win 11-0 to get promotion. As it was Luton and Birmingham pipped us on goal average. Nearest we have ever come to promotion to the top tier. 65 years ago.
n.b Liverpool’s goal was in the 90th minute.
