“Alfie was brilliant,” Smith told the official website after the thrilling draw. “He’s met the guys literally at 5pm this afternoon.

“Everybody made him feel welcome and he did what we knew he could do.

“He put himself about, chased everything down and won more headers than I’ve seen for a long time for such a young man.

“He was desperate to do well for us so we can only thank Neil Harris and Millwall for lending us Alfie.

“He had to do the business and that’s what he did.”

Southwark-born Pavey joined Millwall in May 2013 after flourishing for Maidstone United’s youth team.
