[edit] Football career
Prior to joining York City in 1987, McMillan had trials at Tottenham Hotspur, Hull City and Preston North End. He would stay at City for 11 years at right back, eventually becoming the club's second all-time top appearances maker under the management of Alan Little.
The 1992-93 season saw him chosen by fellow league professionals as the best right back in the Third Division, the same season City won promotion via the Division Three playoffs. The club played in Division Two the following year, and managed to reach the semi-finals of the playoffs, but were not victorious.
McMillan played in York's 3-0 victory against Premier League side Manchester United in the League Cup in 1995, and against Everton in the 3-2 win during 1996 in the Coca-Cola Cup, which were two of the clubs most famous giant killings.
In all competitions McMillan played for the Minstermen 493 times. At the Yorkshire club, he was a highly popular figure, but was forced out by the then chairman; Douglas Craig in 1999 before he could reach 500 appearances, much to the dismay of the clubs fans.[citation needed]
After leaving City, McMillan would briefly play with Scottish side Ayr United before retiring from professional football in 2000. He did however have a spell with non-league side Nestlé Rowntree a year later.
Once retired he went on to work for a local estate agent in York followed by a software firm. He now runs his own aggregates company delivering building materials. Football wise, McMillan plays for Haxby United in the York Leeper Hare League Division 1 and starting with the 2008-2009 season McMillan will assume the role of manager at Haxby United.
