All at Exeter City were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of club legend Kevin Miller at the age of 57.
Kevin was an incredibly popular figure during his time at St James Park, earning a place in the hearts of supporters with his performances between the posts and his wholehearted commitment to the club.
As a player, Kevin had a commanding presence and a fierce competitive spirit. He joined Exeter City in 1989 under Terry Cooper and went on to make over 250 appearances for the Grecians over two spells as a player. He was a key part of the team that won the fourth division championship in 1989/90.
For those who watched Kevin play, he will be remembered not only for the saves and clean sheets, but for the personality he brought to the team. Kevin was never afraid to make his voice heard, organise those in front of him and put his body on the line for the team.
His time in Devon left a lasting impression on those around the club, and his contribution remains a big part of Exeter City's story.
Professionally Kevin played at the highest level, representing Crystal Palace in the Premier League and Birmingham City, Watford, Barnsley, Bristol Rovers, Derby County, Southampton, and Torquay United.
After retiring in 2015, Kevin went on to work in local non-league football before rejoining City as Goalkeeper coach in December 2022 under Gary Caldwell where he used his wealth of experience to play a key role in the development of City’s goalkeepers.
At just 57, his passing is a huge loss to his family, friends and everyone who knew him. Exeter City Football Club sends its deepest condolences to Kevin's family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts are also with Gary Caldwell and our former staff at Wigan Athletic.
The club will be supporting those who were close to Kevin and will be commemorating Kevin’s time with us and his memory in an appropriate way.
Once a Grecian, always a Grecian.
Rest in peace, Kevin.
