Steve Morison has admitted he was "crap" for Leeds
Morison spent one-and-a-half seasons at Elland Road between 2013 and 2015 but hit the back of the net just five times in 42 appearances.
The 34-year-old was in Leeds fans’ firing line on Saturday as Millwall travelled to West Yorkshire but he had the last laugh as they edged a seven-goal thriller.
Millwall were two goals ahead at half time while Leeds had Liam Cooper sent off but the home side fought back to take the lead after the break.
The game had a late twist, however, as Tom Elliott and Jed Wallace struck at the death to secure all three points for the Lions.

But Morison admits it was a horrible game to play in.
“I thought I played well and it’s a shame the Leeds fans never got to see me play like that,” he said.
“That’s what I can do but I never did it for them so I can understand their frustration towards me.

“I was getting plenty of stick and they never like it when it’s turned on its head, do they?
“That might be an amazing game for the fans but that’s not an amazing game to play in. You don’t want to play football like that.
“You shouldn’t have to score four goals just to win a game, especially when you’re 2-0 up against ten men.”
When asked why Leeds supporters did not see the best of him, Morison replied: “Because I was crap when I played here.”
