"I was shocked to get the captain's armband, but it has been a dream come true for me since I came back to Millwall," he beamed.
.
"I want to thank everybody, my team-mates, the gaffer, the chairman and directors and everyone who works behind the scenes at the club.
.
"There has been a lot of things that have happened this season that I'll remember forever."
.
We're proud to stand here and say that we are still in the Championship for another year and have been to Wembley."he concluded.
Congratulations to Danny Shittu but I hope he leaves that club soon. He would be better off in a quality english clubs.
Danny Shittu's experience is needed at that club so they must do everything possible to keep him with them. I don't think he would be there for long though.
