he was a top, top manager. He had so much charisma.

“My littlest son Fred was here, he’s only 11 and I was fearful of what he might hear but it wasn’t too bad.”

Millwall took advantage of a poor performanc­e from Derby, who crashed to a first home defeat in 10 games.

The winner came on 25 minutes when Bradshaw stormed through a static defence to score.

Derby fans will be counting down the days until Wayne Rooney can play on January 2.

They lacked a cutting edge, with Martyn Waghorn missing several chances, while Bartosz Bialkowski kept out a deflected shot from Jayden Bogle.

Other than that, Millwall held on comfortabl­y despite Ben Thompson going off with a twisted ankle.

Derby boss Phillip Cocu is looking for additional transfer options, as well as Rooney, next month to sort out a misfiring attack.

The Rams are in a lowly 16th after losing the play-off final in May, and the Dutchman admits it is simply not good enough.

He said: “We can’t just rely on Wayne Rooney in January and think that everything will be fine. We will be addressing the lack of goals in January.

“We have made two defensive mistakes in the last two games and they have cost us goals. But we lacked courage today.”
