Bobby Miller

Bobby Miller (18 March 1950 – 10 June 2006) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played for Laois and Timahoe. In June 2006, Miller was managing the Arles-Killeen side from Laois that included Laois county stars Beano McDonald and Donal Brennan when he became ill on the sideline shortly before half time. Medics did what they could on the pitch itself and he was then taken to Portlaoise Midland Regional Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. He was 56 years of age. Player He won the Leinster Minor Football Championship title with Laois in 1967 and in 1969 he added a Leinster U21 Football Championship title to his honours. During the same year, 1969, he won a Laois Senior Football Championship with his Timahoe GAA club and it proved to be the only time Timahoe were crowned club champions in Laois at senior level. Bobby along with four of his brothers John, Tom, Jim and Richard (the current Chairman of Laois County Board) contributed in a major way to that famous win. The 1969 team was captained by Tom Joe Bradley. Miller famously won the Railway Cup with Leinster in 1974 while partnering Kildare's Pat Mangan in midfield.
