Doug Allder

Millwall

Allder began his career with Second Division club Millwall and signed apprentice terms in April 1968 for £4 a week. He signed a professional contract in October 1969, worth £20 a week. He made his debut and broke into the team during the 1969–70 season, making 24 appearances. A dispute with Benny Fenton in 1971 saw Allder play on a week-to-week contract and he nearly moved to play under Gordon Jago at divisional rivals Queens Park Rangers. The move was cancelled after Jago replaced Fenton as Millwall manager, which meant Allder remained at The Den. The Lions occasionally challenged for promotion to First Division, but relegation to Third Division at the end of the 1974–75 season saw Allder depart the club. In his six years with Millwall he made 227 appearances and scored 12 goals. Allder is a member of the Millwall Hall of Fame.

Orient

In July 1975, Allder moved to Second Division club Orient in exchange for Terry Brisley and Barrie Fairbrother. He left Orient at the end of the 1976–77 season, after making 53 appearances without scoring. Looking back in 2002, Allder said "I knew straight away it was a bad move. I wasn't happy there".
