The player made 60 appearances for Sunderland from 2006-2009.

He played an integral role in the promotion as Championship title winners in 2006-07 under Roy Keane, who signed Miller from Manchester United.

He managed three goals for Sunderland, most notably a ferocious, last-minute strike from just outside the box to rescue a 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough in 2007.

The club tweeted: “We are saddened to hear this evening that former Sunderland midfielder Liam Miller has passed away. “Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.”
