Bradford defender Tony McMahon was squared up to by Lions fans who had run the length of the pitch to taunt the losing side, while McCall said he too had been verbally abused.
“I came close to clocking a couple of them,” admitted McCall.
“I think Wembley has got to learn. Everyone in the place knew they would come on the pitch. Where were the stewards on the halfway line?”

“It was horrible, but it’s Millwall fans at the end of the day, isn’t it?”
Lions boss Neil Harris, who was desperately trying to usher the supporters off the pitch, apologised to McCall.
He said: “I don’t condone it, it’s not the place for that and I apologise to Stuart and his staff.”
