As reported first on MillersMAD, ‘Feed The Goat' was available to all fans for a short time from 12 noon today with the man himself signing copies, whilst meeting and greeting supporters.

Afterwards he spoke to www.themillers.co.uk and commented: "I am glad to be back here and see some old familiar faces. I had six years here at Millmoor and there were some really hard times.

"A lot of hard work went in at the training ground with people like John Breckin and Billy McEwan who were pushing me. It was difficult but it gave me the background that I needed to go on.

"It took me a few seasons to establish a first team place but I think it was mainly due to me adapting to the weather that was a vast change from the warmth of Bermuda.

"At home the football was slow, here it was fast and more physical while I had to learn that you had to chase to win the ball. So I was very glad of my time at Rotherham United as I hadn't learned the hard work aspect at Manchester United.

"I did my apprenticeship at Rotherham and I am so pleased with that because without it I wouldn't have been able to understand the English game.

"I had a good last two seasons at Rotherham while my highlight was playing at Wembley as I was the first Bermudian to do so. I have all the videos and photos of that day.

"After I left Rotherham I started to understand my game and I learned that I was a penalty box player. Now I am looking at organising a professional team in Bermuda to play in the American third division and that is big news. So if I feel I find someone who is pretty good I could send him to Rotherham."

MillersMAD staff wish the 36 year-old all the best back home in whatever he decides to do in the future.
