The Den erupted again this week, but this time the noise was for one man.
Millwall winger Femi Azeez stood centre stage as he collected his PFA Championship Team of the Year plaque, a reward for a 2025/26 campaign that turned him from fan favourite into league-wide force.
The 25-year-old Nigerian was pictured beaming with the award in hand, and for Lions supporters it felt like justice finally put in silver.
From Underdog to Undroppable
Azeez arrived at Millwall known for pace. He leaves this season known for end product. Week after week he tormented Championship defences, cutting inside, tracking back, and delivering the kind of consistency managers dream about.
His goals came in big moments. His assists came when Millwall needed a spark. By March, opposition full-backs were picking him out in team meetings first. By May, his teammates were picking him for the PFA XI. It was not flash. It was relentless.
A Night That Belonged to The Lions
The PFA ceremony recognised the best of the division, but Millwall made sure one name traveled home to SE16. Azeez’s plaque now sits alongside club history, proof that hard work at The Den still gets noticed nationally.
For Nigeria, it is another statement. For Millwall, it is momentum. And for Azeez, it is a reminder that the boy who ran channels all season is now running with the league’s elite.
