Liam, born in Cork and was a colleague of Colin Healy with Ballincollig under-age teams
He played in numerous underage sides for Brian Kerr who used him in a variety of roles in midfield. He was part of Brian Ker's Under 16 side that won the European Championship in Scotland onm 8 May 1998.
Miller's impressive performances for Celtic in 2004 in the Champions League caught the eye of Alex Ferguson in Manchester United and he joined the Old Trafford team at the start of the 2004/'05 season.
On November 4, 2005, Miller joined Leeds United, initially for three months, but this was later extended to the end of the 2005-06 season. He scored one goal during his time at Leeds - the winning goal in the stunning 4-3 away win, against Southampton - and also helped Leeds to reach the Championship play-off final, a game in which he featured. However, Leeds failed to overcome Watford, and so were not promoted to the Premier League. The club also chose not to offer Miller a permanent deal.
In July 2006, it was reported that Liam Miller would be allowed to leave Manchester United, should the Red Devils receive a suitable offer. And it was made clear that Miller was not part of Alex Ferguson's plans, as, despite the huge number of senior players missing, he was still only a substitute, in the opening game of the Red Devils' tour of South Africa. Throughout the Summer, Miller was linked with Scottish side Aberdeen. However, on 31 August 2006, he moved to Sunderland, for free, on a 3-year deal, joining up with new Sunderland manager, and former Manchester United and Ireland captain, Roy Keane.
Miller scored his first goal for them against Leeds United, in a 3-0 victory. His second goal came on 24th February 2007, when he scored the winning goal against Derby, in stoppage time.
Ironically his next goal for Sunderland was also in the closing minutes as he netted a last minute equaliser in the wear and tees derby against Middlesbrough.
