John Tony (Johnny) Miller (born 21 September 1950 in Ipswich, Suffolk) is an English former footballer. He was described by Jeff Kent as an "exciting right-winger who provided pinpoint crosses".
Miller's career started at Ipswich Town in 1968, where he became the club's first black footballer. After fifty games for the club he joined rivals Norwich City in 1974. He spent two years at Carrow Road before joining Mansfield Town in 1976. He spent four years with Mansfield and played over 100 games before joining Port Vale, initially on trial, in September 1980. He became a regular in the first team, but 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 at Blidworth Welfare.[1]
