Mick The Miller was the greatest and most famous greyhound in racing history. He was born in the village of Killeigh, in County Offaly, Ireland on Tuesday 29th June 1926 in the kennels at Millbrook House. He was bred by Fr Martin Brophy, the parish curate and trained by Michael Greene.
He went on to win 15 out of 20 races in Ireland.

Fr Brophy then sold him and he lived the rest of his life in Britain, where he went on to win 36 of 48 races, including the Greyhound St Leger, the Cesarewitch, the Welsh Greyhound Derby and the English Greyhound Derby twice (the first dog to do so and one of only four ever to achieve this feat).

The people of Killeigh are currently in the process of erecting    

a monument in his birthplace to honour Mick and his

achievements.

The Mick The Miller Commemoration Committee has been set up to look after same.

We have recently commissioned renowned artist and sculptor

Elizabeth O`Kane to create our statue of Mick in bronze.

If anyone has any information, memorablia or stories that they would like to offer or if you have any questions about Mick The Miller we would be delighted to hear from you. You may contact us or any member of the committee at;
