In case you weren't already aware, Saturday saw Millwall win promotion to the Championship after beating Bradford in the League One play-off final. Steve Morison was the hero with a late volleyed winner to secure a 1-0 victory at Wembley.
But he was less impressed with Millwall fans invading the pitch afterwards to celebrate the win. In fact he went as far as saying: “The fans have ruined it for me at the moment. I can’t celebrate."

Millwall manager Neil Harris was a tad more diplomatic, claiming: "They came on in good spirit. Do we want them on the pitch? No, not at the home of English football. But they came to celebrate with their team."
But Bradford boss Stuart McCall was irate. Some of the jubilant fans were eyeballing and goading the vanquished side and it took admirable amounts of self-control not to react.
McCall raged: "Wembley have to learn from this. Everyone in the place knew they were coming on. I was close to clocking a couple. They were in my face. I was verbally assaulted, not physically. Why can't they just enjoy their moment?"
