Peter Millar is a retired soccer player who played as a forward. He spent nine seasons in the second American Soccer League, one in the North American Soccer League and four in the German American Soccer League. Born in Scotland, he earned thirteen caps and scored eight goal for the United States national team between 1968 and 1972.

National team

Millar earned thirteen caps for the U.S. national team between 1968 and 1972, scoring 8 goals (or 9 depending on the sources) during that time. He made an auspicious debut with the team by scoring a hat trick in a September 15, 1968 tie with Israel. Some records only attribute 2 goals to Millar as he and Willy Roy apparently kicked the ball nearly simultaneously which leads to the discrepancy in his stats.[1]
