It's "who" for the subject (that "did" something) and "whom" for the object of a verb (that something was "done" to / with / for).

So after words like to, with, for etc it would be whom:

"I met with the man with whom I'd previously played polo"

If you're talking about the person who "did something" then it's who:

"I believe it was Homer who once said 'Doh'"
