Miller first faced Bailey while playing for Canvey Island

Charlton skipper Nicky Bailey and Gillingham midfielder Adam Miller have angrily criticised each other following Saturday's 2-2 draw in League One.

Bailey and Miller first clashed in 2003 playing non-league football for Sutton and Canvey Island, and had to be spoken to by referee Paul Taylor on Saturday.

Miller told BBC Radio Kent: "Bailey has done well for himself at Charlton but I think he's a hateful player."

Bailey retorted: "He's always had too much to say for himself."

The Charlton captain added: "It was going off between us in the first half.

"It goes back to when I played for Sutton and he was with Canvey Island. He said a few things to me at the start of Saturday's game but I knew it was coming because that's football, people try to wind each other up.

"I know I'm a fiery player, that's part of my game."
