Last updated : 02 December 2003 By Site Editor
It will be Miller's first ever full international callup, and speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times, the former Hartlepool man admitted it was very much a shock: "It has all come as a surprise. I'm a bit shocked but delighted at the same time. This is a very good chance for me, especially as an England call-up seems a long way off.

"I will have a chat with the Gaffer after training and see what is what about missing training here, and we will take it from there. To be honest it has all come a bit sudden and I do need to weigh things up."

Town Boss Joe Royle was also pleased with Millers call-up, and said he is very much pleased for him: "I'm pleased for Tommy. This has come at a time when he has still not hit his best form but we all know what a good player he is.

"I'm convinced Tommy will be a good Premier League player when he gets in his groove. He struggled, along with our collective early season demise, and he had a long-term injury problem."
