Liam Miller: Homecoming ‘easy decision’

"We did forty press conferences last year and the crowd was never as big as this," said John Caulfield with a grin at Cork’s International Airport Hotel yesterday, as a big media contingent turned up to greet Liam Miller on his official touchdown for Cork City.

The 32-year-old former Irish international and midfielder with Celtic, Manchester United and Sunderland spent the most recent years of his career playing with considerable success in Australia but, with his globetrotting at an end, he made it clear yesterday that he was never going to be able to resist the pull of his hometown club.
