Millwall welcomed trailblazer Ashvir Singh Johal with a letter congratulating the Wigan first-team coach on his historic appearance at The Den.
Singh Johal, who wears a traditional Sikh head covering called a patka, made history at The Den as he became the first Sikh-Punjabi senior coach to take the dugout for a game in the second tier of the modern English game.
Millwall wanted to play their part in recognising and celebrating Singh Johal's achievement and wrote him a letter on club-headed paper, signed by the club's Equality Steering Committee chair Jason Vincent, leaving it inside the away dressing room ahead of the Wigan squad's arrival at The Den.
The letter seen exclusively by Sky Sports News read: "On behalf of everyone at Millwall Football Club, I would like to the opportunity to welcome you to The Den for today's game.
"I'm sure it is a privilege for you to not only be part of Kolo Toure's backroom team, but to also be able to represent South Asians in football at such a level as The Championship.
