Geoff Miller

Geoff Miller OBE is a former England cricketer and national selector who captained Derbyshire and represented England in various international matches. After being recognized as the Cricket Writers’ Club Young Cricketer of the Year in 1976, Geoff Miller went on to establish a formidable international career as an England cricketer. Miller made his first-class debut for Derbyshire in July 1973 and began representing England in Test matches in 1976. Over his international career, spanning from 1976 to 1984, he played in 34 Test matches and 25 One Day Internationals, taking 60 wickets in Tests and 25 in ODIs.

For his significant contributions to cricket, Miller was recognized with the prestigious appointment of Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2014 New Year Honours. That same year, in March 2014, he further cemented his legacy by accepting the role of President of Derbyshire C.C.C. Beyond his direct involvement in professional cricket, Miller has successfully ventured into other areas, including co-owning and managing the sporting goods store, Moss & Miller, in Chesterfield. He has also cultivated a strong reputation as a highly sought-after after-dinner speaker, captivating audiences with entertaining anecdotes and insights drawn from his distinguished career, where he humorously described himself as a ‘comparatively boring bread and butter cricketer’ who enabled more brilliant players.
