Wednesday 4 May 2016 15:48, UK
As rugby league mourns the death of one of its greatest players, we look back on Roger Millward's 2013 interview with Brian Carney.
A stand-off full of flair and a successful coach with Hull KR for 25 years, Millward was awarded an MBE for his services to rugby league in 1983 and inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame in 2000.
The playmaker became an icon of the game after joining Rovers from his home-town club Castleford in 1966. He scored a club-record 207 tries and 607 goals in 406 appearances and brought the curtain down on his playing career by lifting the Challenge Cup at Wembley in 1980 with victory over arch-rivals Hull FC in which he defied a broken jaw.
It was his fifth trophy as captain and he went on to guide the Robins to six more pieces of silverware in 11 years as their most successful coach in the club's history.
Millward, who fought a battle with cancer in recent years, also won 29 caps with Great Britain and 17 with England.
