William Ferguson Miller, MBE (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 Aberdeen's most successful period under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson. Willie Miller's partnership with fellow defender Alex McLeish was a large part of Aberdeen's success in the 1980s. He holds the record for most league appearances for Aberdeen, standing at 556 between 1973 and 1990, when he retired due to an injury picked up whilst playing for Scotland.
   In February 1992 he stepped up from his position as a club coach to become manager, succeeding Alex Smith, but despite two second-place finishes in the league and two losing cup finals, Willie was sacked in February 1995, and was 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. He is considered by many neutrals to be one of the best Scottish defenders ever, with Sir Alex Ferguson having referred to him as "the best penalty box defender in the world".
