Thomas Miller (30 June 1890 – 3 September 1958) was a Scottish footballer who played for Liverpool and the Scotland national team during the early part of the 20th century.
[1] Born in Motherwell, Miller played for Larkhall United and Hamilton Academical[2] before manager Tom Watson brought him to Anfield in February 1912 for £400.
The inside forward was a main stay of the Reds line-up and helped the club reach their first FA Cup on 25 April 1914, unfortunately the game ended in a 1–0 defeat to Burnley.
This 1919–20 season was to be Miller's last for the Reds as he was transferred to bitter rivals Manchester United on 23 September 1920,[5] although not before he managed to earn himself a descent goals-per-game ratio at Anfield scoring 56 times in 146 appearances (averaging a goal every 2.6 games).
He won two further caps in 1921 while at Manchester United (including the coveted England fixture) despite enduring a poor spell at club level,[7] his cause helped by a strong performance and goal in the 'Home Scots v Anglo-Scots' trial match of that year.
