## Player

### Professional

Born in Scotland, McMillan joined the [Cleveland Stars](/source/Cleveland_Cobras) of the [American Soccer League](/source/American_Soccer_League_(1933-1983)) (ASL) in 1973.[1] That season, he scored eleven goals and added seven assists in seven games to place second in the league's points list. This earned him Rookie of the Year honors, the first Rookie of the Year to be named by the ASL.[2] In 1974, he jumped to the expansion [Los Angeles Aztecs](/source/Los_Angeles_Aztecs) of the [North American Soccer League](/source/North_American_Soccer_League_(1968-1984)) (NASL). He duplicated his scoring exploits, taking third in the NASL points list with ten goals and ten assists in twenty games. He was again named league Rookie of the Year, making him the only player to earn that honor in two U.S. leagues. Although an expansion team, the Aztecs went to the championship game where McMillan tied the game 3–3 with only a few minutes remaining to take the game into overtime. The Aztecs eventually won in [penalty kicks](/source/Penalty_shoot-out_(association_football)). In addition to his Rookie of the Year honors, he was a second team [All Star](/source/All_Star). McMillan played two more seasons in Los Angeles, being released in 1976. He then signed with the [Los Angeles Skyhawks](/source/Los_Angeles_Skyhawks) of the ASL where he played until 1978.

### National team

McMillan earned two [caps](/source/Cap_(sports)) with the [U.S. national team](/source/United_States_men's_national_soccer_team) in 1974. Both were 4-0 losses in March 1974. The first loss came at the hands of [Bermuda](/source/Bermuda_national_football_team) on March 17 and the second was a loss to [Poland](/source/Poland_national_football_team) three days later.[3]

## Coach

In 1978, McMillan was hired as the head coach of the [American Soccer League](/source/American_Soccer_League_(1933-1983)) [Los Angeles Skyhawks](/source/Los_Angeles_Skyhawks). He took his team to the championship game where the Skyhawks lost 1–0 to the [New York Apollo](/source/New_York_Apollo). McMillan has continued to coach in various capacities. In 1986, he opened Camp North American Soccer Academy in [Commerce, Georgia](/source/Commerce%2C_Georgia). He was also the assistant soccer coach at [Life University](/source/Life_University) from 1996 through at least 2002.
