Liam Miller

Liam Miller's story moves me deeply. A diminutive midfielder out of Cork who broke through at Celtic and earned a move to Manchester United, he had the nerve to compete at the very top on talent alone. That he died of pancreatic cancer in 2018, just four days short of his 37th birthday, feels unbearably unfair. The tribute matches in Ireland that drew tens of thousands tell you everything about how he was loved. To me he is the rare athlete remembered less for trophies than for the warmth he left behind. Rest easy.
