HARRIS WANTS LIONS TO ROAR

A legendary figure for the Lions, Harris scored a club-record 138 goals across two spells as a player before embarking on a successful four-year stint as manager that yielded promotion to the Championship in 2017.

Exhausted, he stepped down two years later and has since spent time in charge at Cardiff, Gillingham and, most recently, Cambridge.

Harris, though, has always maintained that he'd be open to a return and when the disastrous 19game reign of rookie boss Joe Edwards was terminated on Wednesday, the 46-year-old quit the U's to answer Millwall's SOS.

"I was always very clear that I'd be here for the club when needed," said Harris, who started the season at Gillingham and joined Cambridge in December, thus achieving the unusual feat of managing at all three levels of the EFL within a single campaign.
