Neil returned to his beloved Millwall for a second time on Monday 8th January 2007 - nearly two years after leaving the club for Nottingham Forest. Chopper first joined The Lions in a £30,000 deal from non-League Cambridge City prior to the transfer deadline in 1998. Barely two years later, Harris has established himself as one of the most feared marksmen outside the Premisership, scoring 25 League goals in 1999/2000 (the first Millwall player since Teddy Sheringham in 1991 to do so), and attracting offers of over £1 million for his signature. Instead of moving on, Neil signed a new improved four year deal with Millwall in May 2000, and netted a further 28 goals in 2000/2001, sharing the 'Golden Boot' with Jamie Cureton as joint-top League goalscorer in Division Two (27). Needless to say, this was a massive contribution towards Millwall's success. Less than a week after signing yet another improved deal came the bombshell news that Neil had testicular cancer and following an operation he embarked on a course of radiotherapy treatment. He returned to action before Christmas and scored a sensational goal during The Lions 4-0 win at Watford on New Year's Day - his first in Division One. A former Liverpool triallist, Harris had been trailed by a number of League clubs, but it was Millwall's Senior Scout Bob Pearson who was most convinced of the striker's potential, which was revealed with 18 goals in his first full season, landing him the Player of the Year accolade in 1999/2000. Articulate and intelligent, he worked for a Japanese bank prior to becoming a pro' footballer. Previous clubs: Cambridge City Lions debut: v. Bristol Rovers 4/4/98
