Willie Miller


 Willie Miller
William Willie Miller (born May 2, 1955 in Glasgow) is a former professional football player who played only for Aberdeen. He played in defence. He also won 65 international caps for Scotland and is a member of the Scotland Football Hall of Fame.

He signed for Aberdeen at the age of seventeen and was made captain four years later. He was involved in possibly the best era ever for Aberdeen who, under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson, won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1983 with a 2-1 win over Real Madrid. Willie Miller's partnership with fellow defender Alex McLeish was a huge part of the success. He holds the record for most league appearances for Aberdeen, standing at 556 between 1973 and 1990, when he retired due to injury.

In February 1992 he stepped up from his position as a club coach to become manager, but despite some limited success was sacked in 1995, to be replaced by Roy Aitken. He then joined the BBC as a football commentator and analyst until he returned to Aberdeen in May 2004, when he joined the board with executive responsibility for football and appointed Jimmy Calderwood to the Dons' hotseat.
