List of Rotherham United F.C. players
This is a list of notable footballers who have played for Rotherham United. The aim is for this list to include all players that have played 100 or more senior matches for the club. Other players who are deemed to have played an important role for the club can be included, but the reason for their notability should be included in the 'Notes' column.
The table should also include details of players who played for the two sides that merged to form United - Rotherham County and Rotherham Town.
For a list of all Rotherham United players with a Wikipedia article, see Category:Rotherham United F.C. players, and for the current squad see the main Rotherham United F.C. article.
Table
Players should be listed according to the year of their first team debut, and then by alphabetical order of their surname.
Appearances and goals should be for first-team competitive matches only, but excluding wartime matches. Substitute appearances should be included.
