MILLWALL have signed ex-City striker Tony Cottee in time for the transfer deadline - which means the Lions could be fielding two front men who are ex-managers and ex Foxes for Tuesdays game against Wycombe.

TC left Leicester for a very brief spell at Norwich but quickly moved to be manager of Barnet. He stepped down from there last week after seeing the team fall down the table despite a good start under him as player / manager.

Sooper Stevie Claridge had been temporarily in charge of Portsmouth, and was doing a good job, before being pushed to one side. he decided to join Millwall earlier in the week.

The Lions have both Neil Harris and Paul Moody suspended so both Cottee and Claridge could go straight into the side.

Chairman Theo Paphidis said:

"I'm over the moon to have got both Steve and Tony. We have got two experienced strikers and that is what we were after."

Millwall are currently on a trip in Spain, and the chairman said there had been a lot of phone calls made.

"I'm very pleased that this has been sorted despite the boys being out in Spain - but the phone has been burning between the countries!"
