Rotherham United have seen a lot of their recent history spent teetering between the second and third tiers of English football, and are currently looking to clinch promotion back to the Championship after a season’s absence.

Paul Warne’s tenure at the New York Stadium has been a fairly positive one despite their relegation to League One last season, with many hoping that this season, they will rectify that by climbing back into the Championship.

Not blessed with some of the prestigious honours that some of their Yorkshire counterparts can boast, the Millers have still had their fair share of EFL success and can boast some solid records at that.

Trips to Wembley along with some lofty finishes in the Second Division have filled the Millers fans with a lot of pride, in spite of their lack of action at England’s top-flight table.

Here, we take a look at two facts you might not have known about Rotherham United…

Crucial local rivalries

With Rotherham sat just outside of Sheffield, it has become a task for them to disrupt one of the fiercest local derbies in English football, the Steel City Derby.

Virtually around the corner from Sheffield, Rotherham have firmly established themselves as rivals to both Sheffield United and Wednesday, with the trio coexisting in the Championship and League One over the past decade and beyond.

The Millers have had three different homes during their time, moving from Millmoor to the Don Valley to more modern pastures in the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

The attendance records for the former two stadiums will remain forever while there is still scope for the latest ground to see its capacity packed to the rafters. The record for the highest attendance at Millmoor and the record at their curent ground is held against the same opponents: Sheffield United.

A whopping 25,170 were in attendance back in 1952 at Millmoor for Second Division match while 2013 played host to an attendance of 11,758 back in 2013 when the Blades came to town in a League One clash.

Have these players featured for both the Millers and Barnsley?

An eclectic mix

Throughout their years, a number of players have been and gone from Rotherham, some making more of an impact than others.

Their recruitment process has spanned far and wide to yield the best results, with as many as 34 different countries represented in a Rotherham shirt.

These countries immensely, from the likes of Germany and France, to the more obscure footballing nations of St Kitts and Nevis and Grenada.

A surprise here is that the most represented country outside the British isles is Jamaica, with 11 different players plying their trade in South Yorkshire throughout their history, while a footballing powerhouse like Germany has only had one name feature for the Millers.
