Tony Craig

Returned to The Den on a permanent basis during the summer of 2008, having left for Crystal Palace 12 months previously.
The popular left back, who can also operate as a central defender, won Millwall's Young Player of the Year award just prior to moving across South London after making more than 80 senior appearances for The Lions.
Kenny Jackett brought him back to SE16 on loan in March of 2008, and so impressed was the Lions boss, that he bided his time before landing Craig on a three-year deal.
He went on to take over captain's duties from Paul Robinson in the latter's absence, but once Robbo returned to action during the 2009/10, TC remained as vocal as ever on the field of play. Last season proved to be one of sheer joy - and pain - for the local lad.
The pain came in the shape of an horrendous facial injury sustained during the home game against Wycombe Wanderers when he ended up with a fractured cheekbone and eye socket. Defying the medics, he was back playing with a special 'Zorro' type protective mask after just a six-game absence.
A foot injury at Huddersfield in April looked to have ruled him out for the rest of the season, but once again he made a miraculous recovery and was back in action in the blink of an eye.
The injury jinx struck for a third time in the Play-Off final at Wembley with another foot injury forcing him off during the first-half. But despite being in a special airboot and on crutches, TC showed the type of determination at the end of the game that epitomises his character, hobbling up the stairs at Wembley to pick up his winners' medal at the final whistle!
Now back in training, he is pencilling in a return to first team football early in the 2010/11 campaign.
