Boxing promoter Kellie Maloney has praised her fellow Millwall supporters for 'accepting' her during her first visit to The Den since going public with her transsexuality.

The 61-year-old, who was born as Frank, has been undergoing treatment and recently admitted that watching Millwall was an "important step" to getting back to normal life.

Maloney watched her side's 3-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town last Saturday from a friend's box at the ground.

"I was really well received," Maloney told the Daily Star. "It was a very important step for me in getting back to living a normal life.

"It was great to be back in the Millwall family. Millwall's a family club and if you're a true Millwall fan, you're accepted no matter what."

Maloney used to represent Lennox Lewis during her career as a boxing promoter.
