The former Celtic, Manchester United and Ireland midfielder was just 36 when he lost his fight with pancreatic cancer back in February.
To celebrate his memory, some of his former teammates will take part in a match that will raise funds for the Liam Miller fund. The money raised will help Miller’s family and charities in Cork, his hometown.
