    They talk about being the man for the big occasion - well the numbers don't get a lot better than that for Steve Morison.

    The definition of talisman, he typifies the grit of this Millwall side.

    Bradford boss Stuart McCall told Sky Sports: "The game went how we thought it would, I just feel numb at the moment.

    "We knew it would be tight and that one goal might do it. It's sore to take but congratulations to Millwall.

    "Jordan Archer made a superb save and that is the thin line between failure and success.

    "I'm very disappointed in the stewarding allowing their fans to get over the halfwayline. I had fans goading me and my players and I was close to clocking one or two of them I can tell you. They need to look at that.

    "Our support were outstanding and I feel for them."

    After heartbreak at Wembley a year ago, Millwall are back in the Championship.

    The Lions were a completely different side after the break, and Neil Harris' team celebrate a magnificent achievement.

    Bradford look understandably devastated at the final whistle. The Bantams could have been home and dry with a few better final passes in the first half, but instead another season in League One awaits.

    Millwall lift the trophy and matchwinner Steve Morison ensures it is passed straight to boss Neil Harris.

    He has done a tremendous job in his two years at the Den.
