In his next game Kitchener scored against Sheffield United, hitting a 30-yard screamer past former England goalkeeper Alan Hodgkinson. On the return of Cripps to the side, he played in every game that season at centre half, retaining the number five  shirt until his retirement in 1982. His total of 602 appearances remains a club record. He released an autobiographical DVD titled "60 Minutes with Barry Kitchener", and in May 2007 was voted by fans to represent Millwall in the P.F.A. Centenary Hall of Fame. He played one summer in America on loan to the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League, wearing the number 22 shirt and making 20 appearances along the way. Tampa Bay went all the way through to league final, before losing to Vancouver, 2–1 in Soccer Bowl '79. Kitchener died on 30 March 2012 . He had recently been diagnosed with cancer. Before Millwall's home game on 7 April 2012 against Hull City, a minute's applause and a service were held. The home side wore a special white kit in memory of Kitchener.
