Miller played for Celtic, Ireland and United during his career, which also saw him feature for Cork City and Leeds United. He was just 36 when he lost his fight with pancreatic cancer. The former midfielder is survived by his wife Clare and his three children Kory, Leo and Belle. The game in September will raise funds for Miller’s family and Marymount Hospice
