A Millwall Legend: Neil Harris - A Study in Loyalty and Leadership
A Farewell to a True Icon
As the curtain falls on Neil Harris' 26-year association with Millwall, it's a poignant moment for one of the most beloved figures in English football.
While at The Den, Harris has cemented himself as an undisputed club legend across five separate stints as a player and head coach. The 47-year-old is the Lions' all-time leading scorer with 138 goals!
"The football club has been hugely important to him because it gave him the chance to play in the Football League and gave him a chance to become a club legend," BBC Radio London commentator Phil Parry said.
He achieved promotion to the Championship on the pitch and on the touchline, and was part of the team that made it to the FA Cup final in 2003-04.
"They should have a statue of him outside the ground," said Harris' former Millwall team-mate Steve Morison. "Everything he's done for that football club has been amazing."
More than just a player and Manager, Harris has been the heart and soul of the club. His departure marks the end of an era, but his legacy will forever be etched in the annals of Millwall's history.
