Steve Morison returns to his former club for the first time. He scored over 70 goals for the Lions in over three different spells at the club.
"I had a really good time there. Seven years over three periods. Seven good years. Play-off heartache, play-off success, good runs in the Championship, surviving relegation.
"All those things I did there stood me in good stead for being a good coach and manager now.
"I experienced a lot. You do speak to other people in the game you lean on, but I can say I’ve pretty much experienced everything in football, especially at this level.
"A lot of the things we lean on is personal experience. That’s one thing we’ve got in myself and the staff in the office.
"My experiences of Millwall have allowed me to have a lot of knowledge of what it requires to stay up, get promoted, consolidate, be loved, be hated. All of it."

There could be a return for Arsenal loanee Dan Ballard though – the centre-back has not featured since undergoing knee surgery at the start of December.
