Andros Townsend

The lightning winger is the latest Academy graduate to make an impressive transition to first team football at the Club.
Andros was given his senior debut in our FA Cup Third Round tie with Charlton at the Lane in January, 2011 - and he took his chance with both hands, scoring the opener in our 3-0 win and putting in a Man of the Match display.
A breakthrough had been on the cards for some time for the Chingford-born youngster, having earned rave reviews during loan spells in the Football League over the previous two years.
Having joined our Academy full-time in 2007, Andros quickly established himself in both our Under-18 and Reserve sides over the next two campaigns before heading out on loan to League One club Yeovil Town at the back end of the 2008-09 season, along with fellow scholar Jon Obika.
And the pair played a pivotal role in helping the Huish Park side avoid relegation that season, with Andros earning international honours at England U19 level that summer.
It was enough to convince Leyton Orient to take the local lad on loan at the start of the 2009-10 campaign, and he shone in a struggling side, scoring one of the contenders for Goal of the Season against his former club Yeovil with a fine solo effort.
But halfway through the season he joined MK Dons in their push for the Play-Off places, scoring twice in nine appearances before being recalled to the Lane to bolster our resources as we went for fourth place in the Premier League.
By the start of the 2010-11 season, Andros had signed a new contract until 2013 and it was clear that he was ready to make the step-up to Championship level, doing so with Ipswich Town.
However, he found it hard to hold down a regular place in a side managed by Roy Keane, making just 13 appearances and scoring one goal before returning to the Lane.
It was in January 2011 that Andros' big break came in the Charlton game before he headed to Watford at the turn of the year.
His spell at Vicarage Road was short-lived, but he found his feet at Millwall in March 2011, scoring twice in 11 appearances as the Lions made a late push for the Play-Offs.
