Nigel Miller will be the man in charge against Tranmere on Tuesday.

Mr Miller is one of the most recognisable officials in the Football League and tends to pop up on live TV on a regular basis and has even taken charge of play-off matches since joining the league list in 2003.

He has received plenty of appointments at Championship level in the past, including 11 this season, which we believe is his last as league referee.

This campaign started for Nigel at Hillsborough in August, where Dale were beaten 2-0 by Sheffield Wednesday.

That was his tenth Dale fixture, the full list being:

Dec 2003 v Boston (h), W 1-0

Oct 2004 v Yeovil (h), W 2-1

Nov 2005 v Chester (h), D 2-2

Apr 2007 v Macclesfield (h), W 5-0

Mar 2008 v Stockport (a), L 0-2

Oct 2008 v Carlisle (h, JPT), D 2-2

Nov 2009 v Notts Co (h), W 2-1

Aug 2010 v Colchester (h), L 1-2

Mar 2011 v Huddersfield (a), L 1-2

Aug 2011 v Sheffield Wed (a), L 0-2

Nigel has refereed 32 games this term, showing 77 yellow cards and two red.

One of his most recent outings was at the televised Leeds v Southampton match, where he was on the end of several verbal blasts from Neil Warnock after some contentious decisions against the Yorkshire club.
