Recruited from the small town of Garfield, Miller won the 1963 West Gippsland Football League goalkicking award with 121 goals.
He was a member of Dandenong's 1971 premiership team, remembered for a controversial free kick that he received before the opening siren of the Grand Final.
The umpire, having seen Preston full-back Barrie Leslie push Miller in the back, awarded a free kick despite the start of play not having been signaled.
Preston lodged a protest after the game and it went to a VFA hearing, with the final decision from the committee going in Dandenong's favour 39 votes to five.
Miller was the leading goalkicker in the Association across the full season (including finals) six times over a seven-year span during his career: in 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973 and 1974.
