Brian Horne

Comes from a Millwall supporting and came as everyone knows came through the youth ranks. He made 196 league and cup appearances an excellent shot-stopper who won England honours at youth, u19, u20 and u21 levels. Brian was The Lions Player of the Year in 1987 a year before making a vital contribution in the rise to the First Division for the only time in the club’s history. he didn't play at all in the first team in his final two seasons with the club after falling out of favour with Bruce Rioch. He now runs a corporate hospitality company and is a UEFA Match agent.

David Forde

Made 339 league and cup appearances after penalty save from Neil Harris while on loan at Bournemouth probably convinced manager Kenny Jacket to sign him. Grabbing the chance with both hands, Dave would appear in all but one of Millwall's next 157 fixtures for three seasons. He became the Republic of Ireland's oldest international player in a competitive match when he took the field against Sweden in March 2013 and was named Millwall's Player of the year in 2014. An ever-present in the 2010 League One play-off winning side he also played in the 2013 FA Cup semi-final now runs a coaching and personal development company.
