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".
