Robert Millar (May 12, 1890 – February 22, 1967) was a soccer player who played as a forward and the coach of the United States national team at the 1930 FIFA World Cup.

That season, he scored fifty-nine goals in thirty-three league and cup games, setting a U.S. record.

[3] In early 1916, Millar signed with Babcock & Wilcox of the NAFBL, but played on loan to both Philadelphia Hibernian and Allentown.

[6] In December 1918, Millar rejoined Bethlehem Steel,[7] but left seven months later to sign with Robins Dry Dock for the 1919–1920 season.

However, he had significant disagreements with his teammates and left Robins some time in the spring of 1920 to join J&P Coats of the Southern New England Soccer League.

[8] Since Millar was unable to play for the remainder of the NAFBL season, Erie loaned him to Tebo Yacht Basin F.C.

In May, Millar met up with Robins when Tebo defeated Dry Dock in the New York State Cup.

[9] Ironically, Robins Dry Dock and Tebo Yacht Basin were both subsidiary companies of Todd Shipyards.

In 1922, Millar left Coats and signed with the Fall River F.C., but the team released him in January 1923, after he played only six games.

The success of the national side at the first World Cup in finishing as semi-finalists came as a surprise, more so since they won both of their group matches (against Belgium and Paraguay) without conceding a goal.

Following their elimination from the cup, the U.S. played a series of exhibition games against South American professional and regional All Star teams.
