The Great White Hopes of Irish Sport
Where are they now????
Former Manchester United and Celtic midfielder Liam Miller has joined Perth Glory on a two-year deal.
In the week they lost ex-England striker Robbie Fowler, the Republic of Ireland international was confirmed as a significant overseas signing for Ian Ferguson's side.
The 30-year-old will arrive in Perth ahead of the Glory's friendly against Celtic on July 9.
'I'm thrilled to be heading to Perth,' Miller said.
'I have heard a lot of wonderful things about the city of Perth but football is the most important thing.'
Miller, who has also had stints with Leeds and Sunderland, has spent the last two seasons at Scottish Premier League side Hibernian.
'I'm delighted to have Liam on board,' Ferguson said. 'He is a quality player.
'Liam brings a lot of experience to the club and he's played at a number of top clubs.
'It's great to have a player of Liam's calibre at Perth Glory.
'He is a midfielder who gets forward and he'll help us become a more attacking team than last season.'
Miller made his international debut for the Republic in 2004 against the Czech Republic and has played 21 times for his country in total.
The 30-year-old is the ninth new player signed by the Glory for the 2011/12 season, including former Sligo Rovers man Adam Hughes

Re: The Great White Hopes of Irish Sport
There was further bad news for Ireland at the Olympics this evening with the news that high-jumper Adrian O'Dwyer is out of the high jump competition.
Kilkenny man O'Dwyer was seen by many as the Irish track & field squad's best contender, ranked joint-11th in the world this season after adding 10 centimetres to his personal best to record a mark of 2.30m.
But 20-year-old O'Dwyer, a fiercely-confident character ahead of the event, failed to bring that form to Athens, failing at 2.10m to see him out of the competition amid fierce disappointment.

Well I see the boxers are at it again. And some curly headed lad is doing ok swinging a club. Mr Morgan is swinging a bat with good effect too. And we're not doing too bad for 4.2 million people - especially considering 1.1 million people can't even win Sam or Liam!
