First Division in
1968–69 under the stewardship of
Bobby Robson. They then went on to finish 18th in
1969–70, 19th in
1970–71, and 13th in
1971–72, before launching title challenges that ended with fourth-place finishes in
1972–73 and
1973–74. He scored two goals in 51 league appearances at
Portman Road. He then switched to
rivals Norwich City for a fee of £47,500, and helped
John Bond's "Canaries" to win
promotion out of the
Second Division in
1974–75. He also appeared at
Wembley Stadium in the
1975 League Cup final, where Norwich lost 1–0 to
Aston Villa. They then posted a tenth-place finish in the top-flight in
1975–76. Miller scored three goals in 23 league games in his spell at
Carrow Road. Miller then dropped down to the
Third Division with
Mansfield Town, and helped
Peter Morris's "Stags" to win promotion as champions in
1976–77. However, they were then
relegated straight back down to the third tier in
1977–78. New boss
Billy Bingham took the club to an 18th-place finish in
1978–79, before
Mick Jones led Mansfield to relegation in
1979–80. He scored 14 goals in 113 league appearances at
Field Mill. He initially joined
Port Vale on trial in September 1980. He scored five goals in 31 appearances in the
1980–81 season and became a key first-team player at
Vale Park as
manager John McGrath began rebuilding the "Valiants" to challenge for promotion out of the
Fourth Division. However, he was prevented from playing in the
1981–82 season due to a
knee injury; this injury led to his retirement in March 1982. He later made a comeback with
Oakham United, before moving on to
Selston and taking up the assistant manager position at
Blidworth Welfare. After leaving the game he worked as a
taxi driver in
Mansfield. He died in a hospital in Mansfield after a battle with
