Man In The Middle - Bristol City

Last updated : 06 December 2006 By Deano
Walton, who has been on the official league list for eight years, is somewhat of a lucky omen for the Millers.

He's taken charge in 11 games in his time in the middle which have seen Rotherham win six and lose only one, a 2-1 defeat at Millwall two and a half years ago.

Walton took charge when Mike Pollitt was dismissed for deliberate handball at Crystal Palace and also sent Martin Butler off for a soft looking elbow offence at Blackpool last season, some of you may recall.

Here are Walton's stats for the current campaign:
