Former Premier League goalkeeper Kevin Miller has died suddenly at the age of 57. The news was confirmed on Thursday, September 17, 2026, by his most recent club, Wigan Athletic, where he had been serving as goalkeeping coach. Wigan Athletic announced Miller's passing in a statement, expressing that everyone at the club was "deeply saddened and devastated."

"His experience, professionalism and passion for goalkeeping were clear for all to see, while his uplifting personality made a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him." The club added that Miller's "sudden passing has left everyone at the club deeply saddened and devastated," and extended thoughts to his wife, Fiona, daughter, Esme, and his family and friends.
