October 31, 2025 Tommy Miller - A Pools Pod Halloween Special
Happy Halloween! For my third Special episode, I am joined by ex-Pools player Tommy Miller to delve into his career at the club - from his beginnings in the youth team, Tommy established himself as the first name on the team sheet at the beginning of the Chris Turner era in Division Three. He speaks about his rise through the ranks and his personal milestones, such as his first goal, his only hat-trick for the club, and the heartbreak of two successive play-off defeats in the early 2000s. A word too on his return to the club in 2014, and his ambitions to return to management in the future.
Many thanks to the man himself for his time, and his honesty in looking back at his time at the Vic!
