Exeter City Football Club has announced the sudden passing of club legend Kevin Miller at the age of 57. The former goalkeeper, who made over 250 appearances for the Grecians, died this week.
The club said it was deeply saddened by the news. It added the simple, powerful sentiment that defines the club's community: "Once a Grecian, always a Grecian."
Miller first joined Exeter in 1989 and was an immediate part of club history. He was the goalkeeper for the team that won the Fourth Division championship in the 1989/90 season, a foundational triumph for the club. His commitment over decades, as both a player and later a coach, cemented his status as a true legend, popular with generations of supporters.
After leaving Exeter, Miller enjoyed a long professional career that included a spell in the Premier League with Crystal Palace. He also represented several other clubs before retiring in 2015. He remained in football, working in local non-league circles before answering the call to return home.
In December 2022, Miller rejoined Exeter City as the first-team goalkeeper coach under manager Gary Caldwell. His recent work focused on developing the club's current custodians as the team handles the early stages of this League Two campaign.
Condolences have been sent to Miller's family and friends, as well as to manager Gary Caldwell and former colleagues. The club has pledged to commemorate his time and memory appropriately. The news casts a shadow over the preparations for the next match.
Kevin Miller's legacy is woven into the fabric of Exeter City, from the title-winning days of 1990 to his recent work on the training ground. His sudden loss is felt across the entire football community in Devon and beyond.
