Neil Harris:

• Millwall’s all-time record goalscorer - 138 goals
• Two promotions as a player
• Played in the FA Cup final
• Played in Europe
• Came back from testicular cancer at 23
• Won a play-off final as a player
• Won promotion via the play-offs as a manager
• Took Millwall to two FA Cup quarter-finals
• Two Wembley play-off finals as manager
• Saved Millwall from relegation in 2024

Eckert has literally never kicked a ball professionally.

A PE teacher could only dream of achieving what Harris has done in football. #Millwall

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Twenty five years ago today, a 62 year old man with cancer in his bones walked 2,687 people out of the South Tower, and then he went back inside.

Rick Rescorla was born in Hayle, Cornwall in 1939. British Parachute Regiment in Cyprus at 18. Colonial police in Northern Rhodesia. Then he came to America, enlisted in the US Army in 1963, and in November 1965 he went into the Ia Drang Valley as a platoon leader with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry.

Hal Moore called him the best platoon leader he ever saw. His men called him Hard Core. He sang to them in the dark, Wild Colonial Boy in an Australian accent, because he had worked out that men who are singing are not men who are panicking. That is Rescorla on the cover of We Were Soldiers Once and Young, bayonet fixed.

Thirty five years later he was head of security for Dean Witter, later Morgan Stanley, in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

In 1990 he brought in his old friend Dan Hill and the two of them walked the basement. He warned the Port Authority that the parking garage was wide open, that somebody could drive in a truck full of explosives, walk out and light it off. Nothing was done. Three years later the 1993 bomb went off about thirty feet from the spot he had flagged.

After that he told Morgan Stanley the towers were still a target and the next attack would come out of the sky. He wanted the firm to leave Manhattan. The lease ran to 2006, so they stayed. Twenty two floors of the South Tower, roughly 2,700 people.

So he drilled them. Every three months, everyone, no exceptions, down the stairwells two abreast while he stood there with a stopwatch. Traders pulling seven figures resented being marched down concrete stairs by a Cornishman with a clipboard. He kept doing it anyway.

8:46 a.m. The North Tower is hit. Port Authority comes over the South Tower loudspeakers and tells everyone the building is secure and to go back to their desks. Rescorla picks up a bullhorn and tells his people to get out.

He phones Dan Hill. "The dumb sons of bitches told me not to evacuate. They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people out of here."

9:03 a.m. The second plane hits the South Tower, floors 77 through 85. His people are already in the stairwells, moving exactly the way they had been drilled, and Rescorla is on the bullhorn singing to them. Cornish songs. A version of Men of Harlech he had rewritten for Cornwall. Men of Cornwall stop your dreaming, can't you see their spearpoints gleaming.

He called his wife Susan from the stairs. They had been married two and a half years, met jogging in New Jersey. He told her to stop crying, that he had to get these people out safely, and that if something happened to him he wanted her to know he had never been happier, that she made his life.

Someone told him to get out. He said, as soon as I make sure everyone else is out.

2,687 Morgan Stanley employees went home that day. Thirteen did not, and four of those were Rescorla and the men who stayed in the building with him: Wesley Mercer, Jorge Velazquez, Godwin Forde.

He was last seen on the 10th floor, walking up.

The South Tower fell at 9:59. They never found him.

Don’t envy Will having to be the one that has to do it but it’s long overdue that some difficult questions were asked ain’t it…The club might not like it but fans are demanding answers.

[Venom @Venom_MFC]

@MaxMcLellan16 - Fans deserve a proper explanation of this absolute shit show.

Not the rubbish the club media put out on a weekly basis. People spend their hard earned money to turn up and we can’t even get some clarity as it’s all behind a paywall #Millwall

[The 1885 Show - A Millwall Podcast @The1885Show]

Far beyond a joke this injury situation. Wouldn’t surprise me if there’s about £20m of player sitting on the physios table. This needed fixing a long time ago, and at this stage I don’t care what the solutions is, just has to happen. Injuries practically cost us premier league football last season. Whatever is going wrong, the cost of not addressing this will far out way the cost of addressing it

🦁 Lions on Loan – latest: #Millwall

Rafiq Lamptey – 13 mins (Chesterfield)
Very quiet start. Just a short cameo so far as he tries to break in.

Sheldon Kendall – 23 mins (cup vs Luton) + 6 league mins (Gillingham).
Getting small chances, mainly off the bench. Still waiting for that first proper opportunity.

Karmarl Grant – 3 starts, 3 full 90s, 1 clean sheet (Bromley). Exactly what you’d expect. At 23, he’s got the experience and looks comfortable, straight in, playing every minute and setting the standard.

Billy to Hibs is honestly one of the least believable rumours doing the rounds. Dropping down to league two level football, taking probably what would be significantly less money than even our first offer never mind the improved ones just doesn’t stack up. And with his brother’s rough spell up there, plus Adam Mayor not exactly being a game‑changer in that decision, there’s nothing about Hibs that feels like a genuine pull for Billy.

That’s their 3rd keeper sorted then.

Leaving Vitek to go out on loan again you’d assume?

Bristol, QPR and Birmingham have all recently secured other goalkeepers in Tickle, Charles and Beadle. #Millwall
