About Keith Millar

  • Keith James Millar (15 August 1906 – 13 July 1971) was an Australian sportsman who played Australian rules football with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1920s and first-class cricket for Victoria.
  • Not to be confused with Australian Test cricketer Keith Miller, who played in the Victorian Football League as well. Millar, a half forward, took part in the 1924 round-robin finals series, where Richmond missed out on the premiership by percentage.
  • He had his best season in 1926 when he finished equal fifth in the Brownlow Medal count and represented Victoria three times in interstate matches.
  • After retiring in 1930, Millar returned to the league as a field umpire six years later and umpired three games during the 1936 VFL season. His cricket career was played mostly while he was a Richmond footballer, between the 1924/25 and 1932/33 summers.
  • An all-rounder, Millar appeared in 14 first-class matches as a right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium pace bowler.
  • Millar made 382 runs at 19.10 with two half centuries and took 14 wickets at 36.28.
  • He took nine of those wickets during a 1925 tour of New Zealand by the Victorians and included the scalp of Test cricketer Stewie Dempster.
  • They took on New Zealand in a match at Basin Reserve, Wellington in the same tour and, despite batting at ten, Millar scored 56 in his first innings.
  • His highest first-class score came in a Sheffield Shield match against Queensland in 1927 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground where he batted up the order and made 64 runs.
