Pancreatic cancer I read which is very tough to overcome
I've seen that too. My friend's dad was diagnosed with it three years ago. The survival rate is about 10% and he was only given two months. He passed two months later. Really do hope the rumours are not true.
Hope for the best .
Starting to be reported in the mainstream now - http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41966734Quote:

Hopefully he can battle through it. I remember the diagnosis for his former clubmate, John Hartson, appeared particularly grim at one point as well, not to mention Stilyan Petrov.
Tam Manus has confirmed relatively good news on his twitter, stating Liam is not in the hospiceQuote:

John Hartson tweeted an update (of sorts) on Liam Miller this morning - https://twitter.com/JohnHartson10/st...68842846314496

Just off the phone to Liam Miller.. he has a big fight on his hands,and is feeling determined and battling hard through this horrible period of his life. We send him our prayers and strength, and hope that Liam can get back to a normal way of life.
There's stories coming out of Cork that Liam has passed away tonight.
Poor fella. RIP.
RIP . Condolences to his family .
Pancreatic cancer, it has one of the lowest survival rates. Only 36, younger than a lot of the forum I'd wager. No age.
just read on wikipedia he would have been 37 on Tuesday.
Rest in peace Liam. Thanks for the memories.
Ah jayz. Should be talking about him on the retirements thread, not here.
RIP
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Awful for his family.
Aw no that is rough poor fella is my age.Awful news.R.I.P. Liam
Jayus, life is too short.. just awful
Absolutely ****e. The most awful form of the most awful disease. What his poor family must be going through tonight. 3 young kids who have just had their world torn apart and a widow and grandparents left to try to rebuild it for them. The world is a cruel place sometimes.
Awful news. RIP.
Even making headlines in Australia as he played over here. Many ex team mates have spoken of him as a gentleman. RIP Liam.
No, no, no. This is just too tragic to contemplate. It was a privilege to have watched him play. Thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones this dark day.
He didn't have pancreatic cancer, according to McNulty back in November when he spoke out against the rumours going around on Liams behalf.Quote:

36...jesus. How horrific for his family.
I needed reminding that Miller, along with John O'Shea & Andy Reid, was part of the Ireland under 16 side that won the Euros in 1998 - https://cedarlounge.wordpress.com/20...happened-them/
He's a happy looking camper in this photo (third in front row)

Sad news, I hear his name mentioned on the news, I was only half listening but I knew what the story was as soon as I heard his name mention. Very Sad. RIP Liam.
A friend of mine was at the funeral today and commented as follows:
"Was at Liam Miller's funeral today. Very very sad. All the good and great of Irish football were at it. McGeady and John O'Shea were visibly upset as were Kevin Doyle and John Delaney. Spoke with Stan for a few minutes who was very respectful and again visibly upset. Roy looked in shock while Mon just had a blank unbelieving look on his face. Kerr seems to have been very close to the family. Plenty of other footballers present and mingled freely with the family."
Nice piece on the funeral here - https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/...st-467079.html
Match will be going ahead in Páirc Uí Chaoimh
GAA see’s , the obvious sense to everyone else eventually . They should put measures in place not to make such fools of themselves again .Quote:

It would also be interesting to see where the expenses went.

Its great for the family, I dont like Keane, but fair play to him with this
