Drama queens who roll around feigning injury are a blight on the game, but football should always celebrate Will Miller's play-acting.
As a child prodigy, Miller – whose mother, Janine Wood, is a well-known TV actor - found fame starring as Oliver Twist in a major BBC production. After landing his role as Charles Dickens' perpetually hungry urchin, he played at a high level for Tottenham's development squad and with Burton Albion in the Championship until his career was brought to a shuddering halt by a serious knee injury.
During the long months of rehab, Miller's creative juices took over again and he retired at 23 to become a film-maker. Collaborating with former team-mate and England Under-21 international striker Marvin Sordell, his natural habitat is now a director's chair.
