“You walk round the inside of

The Den and look at the walls

– they are full of pictures of what we created back in 2004.

“The gaffer knows the value of the FA Cup. He took Millwall to the quarterfinals last year and now he has another chance of facing Tottenham in the fifth round this time.

“People say Millwall will never be able to repeat what we did in 2004, but the gaffer has built the same sort of team – only with a lot more cultured footballers than we had – and the same sort of intensity.

“It takes someone who knows Millwall to run the club and make them better than before.

“Hopefully we can recreate the same sort of history.

“I was in awe when Dennis Wise and Ray Wilkins came here, but they were brilliant with me and the other youngsters.

“Now I want to be that same player who inspires the youngsters here.

“I hadn’t actually signed when I came to watch the original Cup tie with Rochdale and when Thommo [Ben Thompson] scored that late equaliser I was doing cartwheels.

“When I came to sign next day and I was doing the medical, I was absolutely buzzing because a Cup run is everything to this club and our supporters.”
