Biography
Formation
Rotherham United Football Club, known as The Millers, was established in 1925 through the merger of two local clubs, Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The roots of the club trace back to 1877 when it was originally formed as Thornhill Football Club. Over the years, Thornhill United rose to prominence in the area, eventually changing its name to Rotherham County in 1905. The decline of Rotherham Town led to discussions about merging the two clubs, culminating in the formation of Rotherham United, which was quickly re-elected to the Football League under its new name.
Early Years and Kit Change
Initially, the club donned yellow and black colors, but around 1930, they adopted the now-iconic red and white kit. This change marked a new era for the club, although it did not immediately translate into on-field success. Rotherham United began to establish itself in the lower divisions of English football, competing in various leagues and striving for promotion.
Achievements and Honours
Rotherham United has enjoyed several successes throughout its history, including winning the Third Division North and League One titles in the 1950-51 and 1980-81 seasons, respectively. The club has also seen promotion through the play-offs, with notable victories in 2014 and 2018. In addition to league success, Rotherham has claimed the Football League Trophy twice, in 1996 and 2022, showcasing their competitive spirit in cup competitions.
Recent Developments
After experiencing relegation from EFL League One, Rotherham United currently competes in EFL League Two, continuing to build on its rich history and aiming for future successes. The club has played its home matches at the New York Stadium since 2012, following a brief period at the Don Valley Stadium after leaving their original home at Millmoor in 2008. Rotherham United remains a significant part of the local community and the English football landscape.

Career & Clubs
The club's roots go back to 1877, when the club was formed as Thornhill Football Club (later Thornhill United). George Cook was the trainer around this time. For many years the leading team in the area was Rotherham Town, who spent three seasons in the Football League while Thornhill United were still playing in the Sheffield & Hallamshire League. By the turn of the century, however, Town had resigned from the Football League and gone out of business; a new club of the same name later joined the Midland League. Meanwhile, Thornhill's fortunes were on the rise to the extent that in 1905 they laid claim to being the pre-eminent club in the town and changed their name to Rotherham County. For a period both clubs competed in the Midland League, finishing first and second in 1911–12. Rotherham County became members of the second division of the Football league in 1919 whilst Rotherham Town failed to become elected to the third division northern section the following year. By 1925 County's fortunes had declined and they had to seek re-election to the third division. By this time it had become clear that to have two professional clubs in the town was not sustainable. Talks had begun in February 1925 and in early May the two clubs merged to form Rotherham United. Days later the reformed club was formally re-elected to the Football League under its new name. The red and white kit was adopted around 1930 after playing in amber and black, but there was no improvement in the club's…
