Nigel Miller will be the man in charge against Colchester on Saturday.

Mr Miller is one of the most recognisable officials in the Football League and tends to pop up on live Sky games every so often and has even taken charge of play-off matches in recent seasons.

He receives plenty of appointments at Championship level and indeed took charge of the first Football League game of this season between Norwich and Watford.

He also refereed Derby v Cardiff last Saturday and the Carling Cup tie between Doncaster and Accrington in the previous midweek.

Last term Nigel was a busy man, with his 34 games producing 87 yellow cards and 11 red cards.

Dale last saw Mr Miller in November when he was the referee for our rather humorous 2-1 home defeat of Notts County.
