Darren Huckerby - Had a loan spell at Millwall in 1996 before joining Coventry from Newcastle. He joined Leeds in 1999 and stayed with the club for just over a year, scoring six goals in fifty-six appearances.
Noel Whelan - Started his career at Leeds in 1993 and had a spell at Millwall in 2003.
Jermaine Wright - Started his career in 1992 at Millwall without making an appearance in two years at the club. Joined Leeds in 2004 and made fourty appearances in two years for the Whites. In the middle of those two years, he had a loan spell at the Den in 2005 making sixteen appearances.

David Livermore - Probably the most controversial, was at Millwall for seven years making over three hundred appearances between 1999 and 2006.Â
