Neil Harris on at last becoming a Shrimper; it's all a dream it seems
Well, that's telling us!
Young Toby Porter, journalist from that Millwall den of knowledege the South London press, has printed an immediate put down to our story of a few hours ago that Lions all time top scorer and Shrimpers fan Neil Harris was the mystery 'Championship' striker that could be on his way to Roots Hall.
Maybe the Blues board were hoping he might be at one time, but that seems more unlikely now.
Porter wrote on www.southlondonpress.co.uk: 'Neil Harris has told Southend chiefs he wants to fight for his place at Millwall - so he won't be joining his home club this summer. The Lions' record goalscorer has been approached to see if he would like to sign for the League Two club. But Harris believes he still has a role to play at The Den, even if he had a frustrating campaign last season, starting 10 games and scoring three goals. Harris, whose family live in Leigh-on-Sea, has been linked with a move to the Shrimpers virtually ever since he signed for Millwall, but has always insisted his priorities lay at The Den.'

However, there was something in it, even Mr.Porter accepts that in his first sentence, but it was always a long shot, more likely once he saw what was on offer he ran a mile!
We should know more after Luggy speaks to the media Wednesday afternoon.
Then again there's no quote from Neil himself.............
