Millwall captain, Danny Shittu was the hero for his club in their FA Cup Quarter-final replay against Blackburn Rovers.

The bullish defender jumped above the Rovers defence to head his team to victory and set up a date against Wigan Athletic in the Semi-finals.

Prior to the game, Shittu had scored one goal all season; the winner against Aston Villa in the fourth round of the competition.

Shittu and his team mates need to bring their A-game to the party against a Wigan side that humiliated Everton 3-nil at Goodison Park, as they aim to reach their first FA Cup final since 2004 when they were beaten by a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Manchester United.
