Latics in Mourning as Miller Passes Away at the Age of 57
Wigan Athletic said Miller, a former Premier League goalkeeper, made more than 700 career appearances and left a lasting mark on teammates and supporters.
On Thursday, Wigan Athletic cancelled their scheduled press conference as a mark of respect following the sudden death of goalkeeping coach Kevin Miller, who passed away unexpectedly overnight on Tuesday at age 57.
Miller joined Wigan Athletic this summer to reunite with close friend and manager Gary Caldwell after spending three and a half years as goalkeeping coach at Exeter City.
During an impressive 20-year playing career, Miller made more than 700 appearances in the Premier League for Birmingham City, Watford, and Crystal Palace among other clubs.
Exeter City paid tribute to their former player, describing him as 'an incredibly popular figure during his time at St James Park' with 'wholehearted commitment to the club' in Devon.
Wigan Athletic requested total privacy for Miller's family, stating 'Our thoughts and prayers are with Kevin's wife, Fiona, daughter, Esme,' as the football community mourned his loss.
