@tommy40996: Scored a last minute thunderbolt sickener at the Riverside in 2007. RIP Liam. #Boro #UTB #SAFC

@bobbyspout: Awful news about Liam Miller. 36 is no age at all to die after a cancer battle. Tidy player for us and typified a great time for us under Roy Keane #RIP #SAFC

@DanielJenks89: Just read about Liam Miller passing away at the age of 36. My favourite memory of him in a #SAFC shirt was the goal he scored against Derby. Played a huge part in us getting promoted into the PL
