Alan Miller

Goalkeeper Alan Miller made only one appearance for the Sky Blues, as a substitute at Stamford Bridge in October 2000 when Chris Kirkland was ordered off after 20 minutes. Miller’s first job was to face a penalty and he went on to let in six goals, four of them off the boot of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Miller was on loan from Blackburn Rovers at the time due to injuries to Hedman and Hyldegaard. He sat on the City bench a few more times before returning to Ewood Park. The following season Miller was loaned out to St Johnstone where he made 15 appearances before a back injury ended his career. That career had started as a 14-year old at Arsenal and in 1988 he was in the Gunners’ FA Youth Cup winning team. Despite winning four England under 21 caps his opportunities were limited by the form of John Lukic and later David Seaman. His debut came in 1992 when he was the very first Arsenal substitute goalkeeper and he made nine appearances over the next two years as well as loan spells with Birmingham and West Brom. In 1994 he joined Middlesbrough for £500,000 and made 60 or so appearances before a move to Hawthorns where for the first time he became a regular first teamer.
