Former West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Alan Miller has died at the age of 51, according to the club.

He was part of the Arsenal set-up when the club won the FA Cup and League Cup in 1993, as well as the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1994.
West Brom said the club were "desperately saddened" to hear of Miller's passing.
Middlesbrough also expressed their sorrow at the news and said their thoughts were Miller's "family and friends at this time".
Miller represented clubs on a host of loan deals throughout his career and Plymouth Argyle - where he played during the 1988-89 season - tweeted that the club were "deeply saddened" by his death.
Miller helped Middlesbrough win the old First Division to claim promotion to the Premier League in 1995.
After spending three years at West Brom from 1997-2000, he joined Blackburn Rovers and formed part of the squad that won the League Cup in 2002.
