NEIL Harris enjoyed a fairytale return to the Millwall hotseat as his new Lions side downed high-flying Southampton on their own patch.
And the 46-year-old hopes this shock win for the relegation battlers will be the catalyst to keep them in the Championship.
Club legend Harris answered the Lions’ SOS after Joe Edwards was sacked this week to begin a fourth stint at the south-east London outfit.
He was rewarded with Tottenham loanee Japhet Tanganga bagging his first professional goal for the club and Zian Flemming stroking in his seventh goal of the season from the spot.
Harris was serenaded with chants of “Super Neil Harris” throughout and said: “Thank you for the fan base, not just for my welcome that they gave me on the touchline, but also for supporting my players like that.
“That’s what we need between now and the end of the season.
“The fans needed that performance and that result – in unison that is a great result for this club.
“Millwall teams always have to find a way, they’ve always had to find a way.
