An immaculately observed period of respect for Club Legend Kevin Miller yesterday ❤️
Thank you Grecians. You are sorely missed Kev.
Can’t believe I’m actually writing this but words can’t do it enough justice how much of a legend this bloke is, from joining Exeter City and building a great friendship with him along the way with many away day trips driving hours on end having endless conversations and his willingness to help when I needed it most!
One of most joyous, funniest guys you’ll ever meet with plenty of great stories and was truly a pleasure to call him a close friend.
My thoughts are with all of Kev’s family and friends, he will truly be missed by everyone. Thank you for everything and rest easy big dog ❤️
Kevin Miller: 1969 - 2026
We are 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.
Kevin rejoined 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.
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
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 ❤️

After receiving a lot of messages asking for advice. I've been thinking about creating a space where people working across football analysis and scouting can connect, share ideas and learn from each other and also help those trying to break into the industry.
The aim is to build a community for Performance Analysts, Recruitment Analysts, Scouts and those aspiring to work within these areas of professional football.
I've set up a free Slack community where members can:
🤝 Connect and network with others across the industry
💬 Discuss performance analysis, recruitment and scouting
💡 Share ideas, experiences and best practice
📚 Share useful resources and learning opportunities
💼 Find and share relevant job opportunities
💼 Offer advice on CV's and Interviews
📈 Support each other's professional development
The SGB Analyst Network is completely free to join.
We're starting from the ground up, so it would be great to have analysts and scouts from across the game involved from the beginning.
If you'd like to join the Slack community the link is below.
