Simeon "Sam" Millington was an English goalkeeper who played for Chelsea between 1926 and 1932, making 245 appearances.
Millington joined Chelsea in 1926 and was the club's first-choice goalkeeper for the next six seasons. He helped them win promotion back to the First Division, but ultimately lost his place in the side to the up-and-coming Vic Woodley.
He also made a non-speaking cameo appearance in the 1930 film, The Great Game, alongside ex-Chelsea star Jack Cock and team mates George Mills and Andy Wilson.
