Tommy Miller is desperate for Ipswich Town to fulfil their promotion ambitions this season - so he has the chance to prove himself on the big stage.

The midfielder only played a bit-part role in Town's second season in the Premiership - during the 2001/02 campaign - having joined the Blues in the summer from Hartlepool.

And while Ipswich went tumbling out of the top-flight, Miller admits that his first season at Portman Road is still one that holds long in his memory.

The 26-year-old told the Gazette: "I enjoyed that first season. It was all new to me and I was playing against some great players and teams.

"It was brilliant for me personally, but as a team it was disappointing that we didn't stay up and I felt we let ourselves down."
