Brian Miller's treasured footballing possessions are now proudly on display at Turf Moor after being kindly loaned to the club by the family of the Clarets' great.

Brian's 1960 First Division championship winning medal, won when the defender was an ever-present in Harry Potts' team, his 1962 FA Cup final shirt and the England cap and shirt he earned a year earlier against Austria, have formed part of a special display in the club's trophy cabinet.

They were presented to Clarets' chairman Barry Kilby before today's game against Aston Villa by Brian's son David and daughter Gill and other members of the famous footballing family.

David, son-in-law Derek Scott and his two sons Paul and Chris all formed part of the 'Miller Dynasty' by playing for the Clarets and were special guests of the club for the Villa game (pictured above right with Barry Kilby).

Along with the recently opened Brian Miller Lounge in the Bob Lord Stand, the display completes a fitting tribute to a Clarets legend, who played 455 games and served the club for four decades, including two spells as manager, before his untimely death in 2007.

Derek explained: "When the lounge was done (club historian) Ray Simpson asked if there was any memorabilia the club might be able to use.

"There was lots of stuff at home but of course if was up to David and Gill and they were more than happy for it to come to Turf Moor.

"It's better to be on display here for people to see and it is fitting to be here.

"Brian was born locally and then to go on and achieve everything he did with the football club, it's no wonder he became known as Mr Burnley.

"And then with so many members of the family going on to play for the club, it is surely a unique history."

Derek himself has loaned his shirt, cap and medal from his England schoolboy international against Scotland at Wembley in 1973 to the club to go on display.
