Millwall skipper Danny Shittu says he will walk off the pitch if he is racially abused by fans.

The Lions’ Nigerian defender jumped to the defence of his club after a TV report claimed racism is rife at the Den.

Shittu insists he has NEVER suffered racist abuse at Millwall — or at any other ground.

But he knows what he would do if it did happen.

He said: “I don’t think any player would hear such a thing and carry on playing the game.”

Following the TV report, a 53-year-old man was charged in connection with alleged racial abuse of Leeds star El Hadji Diouf at

The Den on November 18.

Shittu admitted the footage left him feeling “disappointed” but he revealed Diouf made no mention of the taunts at the time.

Shittu said: “He was fine when we spoke after the game. Obviously he has brought it up now and they are sorting it out.”

Shut up shitu! This is not the first your team fans are doing such thing. They have been doing that to players of opposing teams, however you have been pretending to know nothing about that because those barbaric acts were not directed to you. Wait your turn will come soon.
