20Questions - Millwall

Last updated : 28 September 2006 By Bigrich.....
Hello there, who are yer and how long have you supported Millwall?

I'm the editor of Millwall Mad, and funnily enough, this season marked the 30th anniversary of my first match, having been taken along at the age of four.

What made you support your club?
My granddad.

What's your favorite away day and why?
West Ham – as they don't seem to be able to beat us in the 21st Century and it's so easy to wind them up in their crappy ground with the plastic castles.

What's your proudest moment being a Millwall Fan?
Sitting on top of the old First Division in 1988 - albeit for two weeks - looking down on everybody else.

And your most embarrassing / disappointing?
Last season, from start to finish. The board took us down and seemed to be happy to do so.

So who is your main rival?
Some would say Crystal Palace, but I always say West Ham. Once upon-a-time, it was Wigan Athletic for about two seasons!

If Millwall was a Song, what would it be, and why?
The Lions Sleeps Tonight… as the players limp away…

Who's your all time favorite player, and why?
Odd choice, but when I was a nipper I used to love a striker called John Lyons, who was one of a few shining beacons during a very dark period. He used to score goals for fun, but scored too many and was transferred for a quick buck. He later sadly committed suicide.

A shocking start for you, should Spackman have gone?
Yes, although I did feel sorry for him. The bloke was simply out of his depth and had no real idea of what he was taking on.

Will the change of manager sort it out or are there deeper problems???
Deeper problems, mainly at board level. Fans are ejected on the whims of stewards, the board seems more interested in redeveloping the surrounding land and unless someone comes in and manages to turn things around the pitch, there's a feeling that the club could be put out to pasture.

And who do you want as Manager?
Anyone Scottish (Just for Nez…)

How's Jody Morris doing?
He's injured. Out until December.

Darren Byfield, a lazy sod at Rotherham, what about down there?
He's injured too!

One player from this division you would like in your team, and why?
I like any player who'd show a bit of commitment, whose head wouldn't drop and who could score goals… So, that's Neil Harris of Nottingham Forest, then. Failing that, a decent goalkeeper.

And what about your nutters? The day you beat us 4-0 at your place was horrible...
They've been replaced by a bunch of sixteen year-olds in the East Stand who take photos of themselves on trains and will always rush over to the away fans if the opposition scores before running back when a steward shows up.

Who's your strongest / weakest link?
Strongest – Tom Brighton, but he's injured (Can you see a pattern emerging here?). Weakest link? The spine of the team – we haven't got one.

Predicted Line-up?
Probably the same starting line-up that started against Brentford on Tuesday, but with the much-maligned Derek McInnes coming in for Ali Fuseni.

Predicted Score?
Rotherham United 6-1 Millwall (Kevin Braniff to score for The Lions with a superlative wonder goal)

Who's going up??
Quite a few, either out of habit or to avoid a trip to Ikea.

And finally. Meat & Tatty, Steak n Kidney or jellied eels??
I'm starving at the moment, so I'll have a helping of all three, thanks.
