Sky Bet Championship: Ian Holloway hails Millwall striker Lee Gregory

Ian Holloway has backed Lee Gregory to become a cult hero at Millwall after the striker continued his goal scoring form.

Lions boss Holloway snapped up the 26-year-old striker from non-league Halifax in the summer for £250,000.

And that fee already looks a bargain after Gregory took his goal tally for the season to four with the winner against Brighton on Friday night.

"He's been a revelation," said Holloway. "He's caught up with full-time players having come from three divisions down.

"I'm so pleased for him and I believe he could easily become a cult hero here, because we like an underdog, and quite rightly."
