The other week I randomly googled Brett Pittman and this week I randomly google Lee Miller.
I was 17 years old when Lee Miller arrived at Ashton Gate for 300k in 2003. And it was the year I worked hard all summer to buy my first season ticket.
I’m not sure if many remember Lee, but from my recollection, he was just not cut out to play at that level. We had a good season. I travelled all the way up to Hartlepool for our disappointing 1-1 draw. Where I watch Porter, possibly the biggest nose in football and the ugliest man in the north of England put one past us.
I remember my dad surprising me at work with two tickets to the millennium stadium to watch Brighton make light work of us and the most useless lump of meat Danny Cole’s breaking our hearts by gifting them a penalty and zero fight shown in trying to claw the game back.
But back to Lee. The biggest standout I remember about him, was that he had quite literally the worst haircut in all of sports at the time. Yet he clearly worked hard on making it look like that. Truly truly awful. Despite the fact he barely scored, it made me think even less of him to imagine how long he stood in front of a mirror to look like such a pleb.
So I found it rather interesting and funny upon googling him, to see that during COVID he gave up the coaching badges to retrain as a barber. But then again, it’s not so surprising, as pretty much every barber I’ve ever met, has an awful barnet.
