Stats
Bio
A talented dual sportsman recruited from Hawthorn Railways, Keith Millar made his mark at Punt Road as a strong-marking centre-half-forward who simultaneously played first-class cricket for Victoria. His football talent peaked in 1926, a standout season where he earned state selection and finished equal-fifth in the Brownlow Medal, proving his quality in the air and his ability to hit the scoreboard. However, his playing career was heavily disrupted by illness and injury, which forced a premature retirement following a brief comeback attempt in 1930. Despite a short tenure as a player, Millar remained deeply connected to the league, later returning as a VFL field umpire and cementing his ties to the Tigers by marrying the daughter of club legend Jack Titus.
