Shaw's the Den villain

Paul Shaw today admitted relishing his role as pantomime villain to Millwall's boo-boys.

The Sheffield United striker, who scored 25 goals in three seasons at The Den, is a regular target of abuse when he returns to his former club.

Shaw, who left Millwall in 2000, said: "I'll get the traditional amount of stick from the fans tomorrow, but I don't mind.

"They are great supporters at Millwall and I had a very good relationship with them. A bit of good natured abuse is part and parcel of returning to your old club and I'll enjoy it in a way.

"I always look forward to playing at Millwall because I had such a good time there. It does give me that little bit of extra edge and I'll enjoy seeing the likes of Paul Ifill, Neil Harris and Dave Livermore, who were there when I was."

Millwall striker Danny Dichio has a calf injury and is ruled out, but Dennis Wise may play after treatment on a calf problem.
