Rip Trevor Phillips

[PerigordMiller]

Sad news, and not very old.

Can imagine him now at the tivoli end, cutting in to his right foot and banging it in from 20 yards.

Sincere condolences to family and friends. Short in stature, big at heart, tenacious, skilful, entertaining...

Thanks for the many fond memories, Trev. One that stands out is Villa Park, 1971, 30,000 supporters. Pre-kick off a fearful noise from the home fans of 'bring on the champions'. Post-match virtual silence. Result Villa 1 Rotherham 2 and inevitably one from Trevor Phillips. A great day, a great player, sadly missed.

So sad, a true Millers icon, one of my favourite ever players. RIP Trev.

Apart from being a bit nippy he also had a very low centre of gravity which meant he could turn on a sixpence making him difficult to stop. Won a fair share of free kicks. Saw him take Northampton apart at their (old) place, 4-1, I think and their fans hated him. They just couldn't handle him. Sad he's gone so young.

RIP Trevor and condolences to family and friends.

Testimony to his time at RUFC is that just about everyone who saw him play, me included, describe him as their favourite player of that era.

Whilst the death of all ex Millers is saddening this one seems to be more depressing for me.

Trev and me were similar ages, he played at a time when I really enjoyed football both playing and watching. He had the same haircut and he was a local lad playing for a local team. Playing at a time of hard games on hard pitches and knowing that when he had finished with football he would have to find “ a proper job” like the rest of us.

Sincere condolences to Trevor's family. R.I.P. Trevor

Don’t know ! He had a younger brother Martin Roddis nearer your age probably went to Monkwood Juniors.
Steve Roddis got a three year apprenticeship with Sheffield United when he left school

Yes that's him. His Dad Denis was capped for England at schoolboy level. His sister Beverly is Matt Hamshaw's Mum.

Denis was a smashing bloke I used to work with him in Steelworks, died really suddenly and most unexpected and Knocked about with Steve after Sheffield U, upted sticks suddenly and went to East Coast as a market trader ? Never heard of him since
