Leeds United: Tributes flow in for ex-Whites Miller
Miller joined United on loan from Manchester United in November 2005 and will be best remembered by Whites fans for scoring the winning goal in an epic 4-3 win at Southampton later that month, a game in which Leeds were 3-0 down with 20 minutes to go.
The former midfielder had been battling pancreatic cancer and passed away aged just 36 on Friday evening.
