WILLIE FACES FLATS FIGHT

0 Comments | Sunday Mirror, Jun 11, 2006

FOOTBALL legend Willie Miller is facing a bitter divorce battle over his Aberdeen property empire.

The former Scotland and Aberdeen star, whose catering business collapsed last year, still owns a number of flats in the city.

He is now involved in difficult discussions with ex-wife Claire after the Sunday Mirror revealed last week that the former Dons skipper is dating single mum Linda Stuart.

The 50-year-old TV pundit has been dating accounts assistant Linda - 15 years younger than him - since he split from Claire earlier this year.

A source said: "There's no doubt Claire and Willie have a lot to talk about - especially after it came out he now has another woman on the go.

"Claire is spitting mad over this and things look like they are going to be far from friendly over the next few months. Despite Willie's business woes last year he still has a lot of assets in the way of flats and Claire obviously knows this."

The couple were married for 30 years, but endured a rocky past year after Mr Miller's failed business left him crippled with pounds 600,000 of debts.

Mr Miller moved out of the family mansion he shared with Claire and into a pounds 220,000 bachelor pad a few months ago.

He has been wining and dining blonde Linda, who left her own husband Mark two years ago and has a six-year-old daughter.
