Ex-Leeds striker Steve Morison is set to return to Elland Road for the first time since May 2015 on Saturday.
Former Leeds United striker Steve Morison has told London News Online that his Millwall side can “hurt” the Whites as the bitter rivals go head to head on Saturday afternoon at Elland Road.
Morison, 34, returns to his former side’s home ground for the first time since his departure in 2015 after a dismal couple of years with the Yorkshire giants in a move that saw fan favourite Luciano Becchio leave to join Norwich City.
The Wales international scored just five goals in 42 league and cup appearances for Leeds, and has since been hated by Leeds fans for joining what some would consider the bitterest of rivals in Millwall.
The veteran striker believes his Millwall side can secure a result against Leeds on Saturday, despite Neil Harris’ side failing to win an away game all season, as they remain winless in 14 matches.
“I’m thoroughly looking forward to going back there. You manage yourself during the week, which is normally the case, because the one thing that matters is being out there on the pitch on Saturday,” Morison said.
“Sometimes a match just has that little bit extra spice. We’re still searching for an away win but Leeds are in a position right now where we can hurt them.”
Morison has since starred at Millwall after joining the club permanently in the summer of 2015 following a successful loan spell at The Den in 2013-14.
As well as a two-year period between 2009 and 2011 before joining Norwich, Morison has scored at a ratio of almost one goal every three games – scoring 88 goals in 272 Millwall appearances. He has managed just two in 28 games this season, though.
