'''Millwall Football Club''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɪ|l|w|ɔː|l}})<ref name="forvo">{{cite web| title = Millwall pronunciation in English| url = http://forvo.com/word/millwall/#en| work = Forvo| access-date = 9 May 2016}}</ref> is a professional [[association football|football]] club in [[Bermondsey]], [[Greater London|South East London]], England. They compete in the [[EFL Championship]], the second level of [[English football league system|English football]]. Founded as Millwall Rovers in 1885, the club has retained its name despite having last played in the [[Millwall]] area of the [[Isle of Dogs]] in 1910. From then until 1993, the club played at what is now called [[The Old Den]] in [[New Cross]], before moving to its current home stadium nearby, called [[The Den]]. The traditional club crest is a [[rampant]] [[lion]], referred to in the team's nickname ''The Lions''. Millwall's traditional [[Kit (association football)|kit]] consists of dark blue shirts, white shorts, and blue socks.

Millwall was one of the founding members of the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]] in 1894. They competed in it for 22 seasons until 1920, claiming the title twice in [[1894–95 Southern Football League|1895]] and [[1895–96 Southern Football League|1896]]. Since joining [[the Football League]] in the [[1920–21 Football League|1920–21 season]], the club have been promoted 11 times (five times as champions in [[1927–28 in English football#Third Division South|1928]], [[1937–38 in English football#Third Division South|1938]], [[1961–62 in English football#Fourth Division|1962]], [[1987–88 in English football#Second Division 3|1988]], and [[2000–01 in English football#Football League Second Division|2001]]) and relegated nine times. They have spent [[List of Millwall F.C. seasons|92 of their 99 seasons]] in the Football League [[Yo-yo club|yo-yoing]] between the second and third tiers. The club had a brief spell in the top flight between 1988 and 1990, in which they achieved their highest ever league finish of [[1988–89 Millwall F.C. season|tenth place]] in the [[Football League First Division]] in [[1988–89 Football League|1988–89]]. Millwall reached the [[2004 FA Cup Final]] and qualified for [[UEFA competitions]] for the first time in their history, playing in the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]]. The club have also won two [[EFL League One|League One]] play-off finals in [[2010 Football League One play-off final|2010]] and [[2017 EFL League One play-off final|2017]], the [[Football League Group Cup]] in [[Football League Group Cup#1982–83|1983]], and were [[Football League Trophy]] finalists in [[1999 Football League Trophy Final|1999]].

Millwall's supporters have often been associated with [[Football hooliganism|hooliganism]], with [[#In popular culture|numerous films]] made fictionalising their notoriety. The fans are renowned for their terrace [[Football chant|chant]] "[[No one likes us, we don't care]]". Millwall have a [[Millwall F.C.–West Ham United F.C. rivalry|long-standing rivalry]] with [[Premier League]] side [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]].

===Beginnings, Southern League and relocation: 1885–1920===
[[File:1885MRFCFirstKit.jpg|thumb|left|180px|The first Millwall Rovers kit, worn by club secretary Jasper Sexton in 1885.<ref name="Kits" />]]

The club was founded as '''Millwall Rovers''' by the workers of J.T. Morton's canning and preserve factory in the [[Millwall]] area of the [[Isle of Dogs]] in London's [[East End of London|East End]] in 1885.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=8}} J.T. Morton was founded in [[Aberdeen]] in 1849 to supply sailing ships with food, the company opened their first English cannery and food processing plant at [[Millwall Docks|Millwall dock]] in 1872 and attracted a workforce from across the country, including the east coast of Scotland, primarily [[Dundee]].{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=8}} The club secretary was 17-year-old Jasper Sexton, the son of the landlord of The Islander [[Public house|pub]] in Tooke Street where Millwall held their club meetings.<ref name="Millwall Official History"/> Millwall Rovers' first game was an away fixture held on 3 October 1885 against Fillebrook, a team that played in [[Leytonstone]]. The newly formed team were beaten 5–0.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=8}} Millwall's first home game was on a piece of waste ground on [[Glengall Road (football ground)|Glengall Road]] against [[St Luke's F.C. (England)|St Luke's]], on 24 October 1885, which they won 2–1.{{sfn|Lindsay|Tarrant|2010|p=116}}

Rovers found a better playing surface for the 1886–87 season, at the rear of the Lord Nelson pub and it became known as the [[Lord Nelson Ground]].{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=8}} In November 1886, the East End Football Association was formed, along with the Senior Cup Competition. Millwall made it to the final against London Caledonians, which was played at [[Leyton Cricket Ground]]. The match finished 2–2 and the teams shared the cup for six months each.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=9}} Millwall won the East London Senior Cup at the first attempt. The club also won the cup in the following two years, and the trophy became their property.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=8}}{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=9}}

In April 1889, a resolution was passed for Millwall to drop "Rovers" from their name, and they began playing under the name '''Millwall Athletic''', inspired by their move to their new home [[The Athletic Grounds (Isle of Dogs)|The Athletic Grounds]].{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=9}}{{sfnp|Lindsay|Tarrant|2010|p=11}} They were founding members of the [[Southern Football League]] which they won for the first two years of its existence, and were runners-up in its third.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=12}} During this period the club was invited to join the Second Division of the Football League but the committee turned down the opportunity, partly due to the expected increase in travel expenses but also to stay loyal to the Southern League.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=27}} They were forced to move to a new ground [[North Greenwich (football ground)|North Greenwich]] in 1901, as the Millwall Dock Company wanted to use their land as a timberyard.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=32–33}} Millwall Athletic reached the [[FA Cup semi-finals|semi-finals]] of the [[FA Cup]] in [[1899–1900 FA Cup|1900]] and [[1902–03 FA Cup|1903]], and were also champions of the [[Western Football League]] in 1908 and 1909.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=170–172}} On 10 October 1910, Millwall played their last game as an East London club against [[Woolwich Arsenal F.C.|Woolwich Arsenal]] in the London Challenge Cup.{{sfn|Lindsay|Tarrant|2010|page=119}} Millwall won the game 1–0 in front of a crowd of 3000.{{sfn|Lindsay|Tarrant|2010|page=119}}

Millwall moved to a new stadium, named [[The Den (defunct stadium)|The Den]], in [[New Cross]], [[South London|South East London]] in 1910.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=16–17}} The club had previously occupied four different grounds in the 25 years since their formation in [[East London]]; limited expansion space on the Isle of Dogs meant The Lions had to move to boost support and attendances.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=32–33}} The estimated cost of The Den was £10,000.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=32–33}} The first match played at the new ground was on 22 October 1910 against reigning Southern League champions [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton & Hove Albion]], who won 1–0.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=176}}

===Entering the Football League: 1920–1940===
[[File:MillwallCrystalPalace1922.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Millwall fans watch a [[South London derby]] against [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]] in a [[1921–22 FA Cup|1922]] [[FA Cup]] replay.]]

Millwall, who had now also dropped "Athletic" from their name, were invited to join [[the Football League]] in 1920 for the [[1920–21 in English football|1920–21 season]], along with 22 other clubs, through the creation of the new [[Football League Third Division]].{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=17}} The Southern League was shorn of its status, with almost all its clubs deciding to leave—Millwall followed suit.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=17}} Millwall's first Football League match was on 28 August 1920 at The Den, and they were 2–0 winners against [[Bristol Rovers F.C.|Bristol Rovers]].{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=18}}

In the [[1925–26 in English football|1925–26 season]] Millwall had 11 consecutive clean sheets, a Football League record, which they hold jointly with [[York City F.C.|York City]] and [[Reading F.C.|Reading]].<ref name="football-league.co.uk"/> Millwall became known as a hard-fighting Cup team and competed in various memorable matches, notably defeating three-time league winners and reigning champions [[Huddersfield Town F.C.|Huddersfield Town]] 3–1 in the third round of the [[1926–27 FA Cup]].<ref name="FA CUP SHOCK">{{Cite news| title = Fa Cup Shock: romance is dying| url = https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-fa-cup-shock-romance-is-dying-1074435.html| newspaper=The Independent| access-date =30 September 2010| date=17 January 1999| first=David| last=Randall}}</ref> In the [[1927–28 in English football|1927–28 season]] Millwall won the [[Football League Third Division South|Third Division South]] title and scored 87 goals at home in the league, an [[Football records in England#Goals|English record]] which still stands.<ref name="football-league.co.uk">{{cite web |title=Football League Records – Goals |url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/Goals/0,,10794~634862,00.html |work=The Football League |date=3 August 2008 |access-date=28 August 2008 |url-status=dead

===Wartime doldrums and relegation to fourth tier: 1940–1965===
[[File:MillwallFC League Performance.svg|thumb|right|Annual table positions of Millwall in the Football League, 1920–2022.|424x424px]]

On 7 April 1945, Millwall appeared in a [[Football League War Cup#1944–45|Football League War Cup final]] at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]] against [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], but because it was a wartime cup final it is not acknowledged in the record books.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=317}} With the war in Europe in its last days, the number of spectators allowed to attend games was relaxed. The attendance was 90,000, the largest crowd Millwall have ever played in front of, which included [[George VI of the United Kingdom|King George VI]], whom the team were introduced to before kick-off.<ref name="Wartime Cup Final">{{Cite news |title = Chelsea v Millwall, Wembley |url = http://www.millwallprints.com/pictures_3461541/soccer-fa-cup-final-south-chelsea-v-millwall-wembley.html |work = Millwall Prints |access-date = 30 September 2010 |date = 30 September 2010 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110228113828/http://www.millwallprints.com/pictures_3461541/soccer-fa-cup-final-south-chelsea-v-millwall-wembley.html |archive-date = 28 February 2011}}</ref>

The loss of so many young men during the Second World War made it difficult for clubs to retain their former status. This was especially true for Millwall, who appeared to suffer more than most.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=317}} The Den sustained severe bomb damage on 19 April 1943, and one week later a fire, determined to have been caused by a discarded cigarette, also destroyed an entire stand.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=317}} The club accepted offers from neighbours [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]], [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]] and [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] to stage games at their grounds.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=317}} On 24 February 1944, Millwall returned to The Den, to play in an all-standing stadium. This was achieved with considerable volunteer labour by Lions fans.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=317}}

Millwall's fortunes fluctuated in the immediate post war years, they were relegated to [[Football League Third Division South|Division Three South]] in 1948 and had to apply for [[Re-election (Football League)|re-election to the league]] in 1950 after finishing in the bottom two. An upswing in fortunes saw Millwall finish 5th, 4th, and then runners up in Division Three South in [[1952–53 in English football|1952–53 season]]; but with only the Champions being promoted, Millwall found themselves stuck in the third tier despite averaging crowds of over 20,000. Millwall then suffered a down swing in fortunes with a number of bottom-half finishes. One highlight of the period was one of the biggest [[Cinderella (sports)|giant-killing]] upsets in the Fourth Round of the [[1956–57 FA Cup]] on 26 January 1957, when Millwall beat [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] 2–1 in front of a crowd of 45,646.<ref name="Millwall Football Club Diary">{{Cite news| title = Millwall Football Club Diary| url = http://www.gonedigging.co.uk/calendars-and-diaries/personalised-football-diaries/millwall-football-club-diary/| work=Gone Digging| access-date =30 September 2010| date=30 September 2010}}</ref> Millwall suffered the ill fortune of becoming a founding member of [[Football League Fourth Division|Division Four]]{{sfnp|Lindsay|Tarrant|2010|p=378–379}} in 1958. While initially suffering from this reorganisation, the de-regionalisation of [[Football League Third Division North|Third Division North]] and Third Division South opened up the way for promotion via the runner up spots. Millwall won the Division Four Title in 1962 with the help of 23 Goals from [[Peter Burridge]] and 22 from [[David Jones (footballer, born 1940)|Dave Jones]]. They were relegated again in the [[1963–64 in English football|1963–64 season]], but were to bounce back by winning back-to-back promotions as runner up. This is the last time Millwall played in the fourth tier.{{sfnp|Lindsay|Tarrant|2010|p=386–387}}

===Unbeaten home record and the class of '71: 1965–1986===
Later in the decade, Millwall established a record of 59 home games without defeat (43 wins and 16 draws) from 22 August 1964 to 14 January 1967. During this spell, Millwall played 55 different teams, kept 35 clean sheets, scored 112 goals and conceded 33.<ref name="Millwall's Unbeaten Home Record"/> This was thanks largely to managers [[Billy Gray (footballer)|Billy Gray]], who laid the foundations, and [[Benny Fenton]], a former player who continued to build on Gray's side. All the players, which included winger [[Barry Rowan]], goalkeeper [[Alex Stepney]], defender [[Tom Wilson (footballer, born 1940)|Tom Wilson]] and strikers [[Hugh Curran]] and [[Len Julians]], were presented with a commemorative gold cigarette lighter by [[the Football Association]].<ref name="Millwall's Unbeaten Home Record">{{Cite news| title = Millwall's unbeaten Home Record| url = http://www.millwall-history.co.uk/Origins-8.htm| work=The Millwall History Files| access-date =17 September 2010

[[File:TheOldDen1988.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A Junior Lions day at [[The Old Den|The Den]] in 1988]]

Millwall began life on the Isle of Dogs and inhabited four different grounds in the club's first 25 years.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=32–33}} Their first home was a piece of waste ground called [[Glengall Road]], where they only stayed for one year. From 1886 to 1890 they played behind The Lord Nelson pub on East Ferry Road, which was known as the [[Lord Nelson Ground]], before being forced to leave by the landlady, who received a better offer for its use.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=32–33}}

They moved to their third home, [[The Athletic Grounds (Isle of Dogs)|The Athletic Grounds]], on 6 September 1890.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=32–33}} This was their first purpose-built ground, with a grandstand that seated 600 people and an overall capacity of between 10,000 and 15,000. The club was forced to move on again though, this time by the Millwall Dock Company who wanted to use it as a timberyard. They relocated in 1901 to a location near their second home, which became known as [[North Greenwich (football ground)|North Greenwich]].{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|pp=32–33}} They remained an [[North East (London sub region)|east London]] club for a further nine years, with the last game played on the Isle of Dogs on 8 October 1910 against [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]], which Millwall won 3–1.

On 22 October 1910, Millwall crossed the river to South East London, moving to Cold Blow Lane in New Cross. The fifth ground was called [[The Old Den|The Den]], built at a cost of £10,000 by noted football ground architect [[Archibald Leitch]]. The first game played there was against Brighton & Hove Albion, which Brighton won 1–0.{{sfnp|Lindsay|1991|p=176}} Millwall remained there for 83 years, until moving to their sixth and current ground, at first known as [[The Den|The New Den]] but now called simply The Den, on 4 August 1993. The ground has an all-seated capacity of 20,146.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/21142999|title=Clubs like Brighton & Millwall take steps to halt declining attendances|date=2013-01-24|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=2020-01-27|language=en-GB}}</ref><ref name="footballgroundguide"/> A [[Sporting Clube de Portugal|Sporting CP]] team, managed by [[Bobby Robson]] helped open the ground by playing a friendly, which The Lions lost 2–1.<ref name="Millwall Official History">{{cite web

===Bermondsey redevelopment controversy and the Den's future===
In September 2016 [[Lewisham London Borough Council|Lewisham Council]] approved a [[compulsory purchase order]] (CPO) of land surrounding The Den rented by Millwall, as part of a major redevelopment of the "New Bermondsey" area. The plans were controversial because the developer, Renewal, is controlled by [[Offshore company|offshore companies]] with unclear ownership, and is seen by the club and local community to be profiteering by demolishing existing homes and businesses as well as Millwall's car-park and the Millwall Community Trust facility to build up to 2,400 new private homes, with no [[Public housing in the United Kingdom|social housing]]. The club contemplated the possibility of having to relocate to [[Kent]]. Millwall had submitted their own plans for regeneration centred around the club itself, but the council voted in favour of Renewal's plans.<ref name="Renewal">{{cite news| title = Millwall Football Club 'to fight' compulsory purchase order| url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37306839| publisher=BBC News| date=8 September 2016}}</ref> In December 2016 ''[[Private Eye]]'' reported how Renewal had been founded by a former Lewisham Council leader and senior officer, suggesting potential bias, and that the decision to approve Renewal's plans may have been made as far back as 2013 despite the fact that no due diligence had been able to be carried out by [[PricewaterhouseCoopers]] due to "poor" and "limited" access to information and management at Renewal, which is controlled from the [[Isle of Man]] and [[British Virgin Islands]].<ref>{{cite magazine |date=9 December 2016 |title=Pitch battle |magazine=[[Private Eye]] |location=London |publisher=Pressdram Ltd <!--|access-date=27 December 2016-->}}</ref> In the face of mounting community opposition and media scrutiny, the Council said in January 2017 it will not proceed with the CPO.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/27/how-local-resistance-and-press-scrutiny-saved-millwalls-stadium | title=How the battle to save Millwall's stadium was won | date=27 January 2017 | author=Ronay, Barney |access-date=28 January 2017}}</ref> However, it was later reported to be taking legal advice regarding other avenues of securing the CPO, and Council cabinet members will decide how to proceed after a "review".

On 9 May 2024, Millwall secured a 999-year lease for The Den from the council, after approval from the [[Mayor of Lewisham]].

The stigma of violence attached to Millwall can be traced back over 100 years. Millwall played local rivals West Ham United away at [[Boleyn Ground|Upton Park]] on 17 September 1906 in a Western League game. Both sets of supporters were primarily made up of dockers, who lived and worked in the same locality in east London. Many were rivals working for opposing firms and vying for the same business.<ref name="West Ham rivalry">{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/league-cup/6088719/West-Ham-United-3-Millwall-1-match-report.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/league-cup/6088719/West-Ham-United-3-Millwall-1-match-report.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=West Ham United 3 Millwall 1: match report |work=The Telegraph|location=London |date= 26 August 2009|access-date=13 June 2020 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> A local newspaper, ''East Ham Echo'', reported that, "From the very first kick of the ball it was seen likely to be some trouble, but the storm burst when Dean and Jarvis came into collision (Millwall had two players sent off during the match). This aroused considerable excitement among the spectators. The crowds on the bank having caught the fever, free fights were plentiful."{{sfnp|Dunning|1988|p=68}} In the 1920s Millwall's ground was closed for two weeks after a [[Newport County A.F.C.|Newport County]] goalkeeper, who had been struck by missiles, jumped into the crowd to confront some of the home supporters and was knocked unconscious.<ref name="Japan Times">

In the 1960s, hooliganism in England became more widely reported. On 6 November 1965 Millwall beat west London club [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]] 2–1 away at Griffin Park and during the game a hand grenade was thrown onto the pitch from the Millwall end. Brentford's goalkeeper [[Chic Brodie (footballer)|Chic Brodie]] picked it up, inspected it and threw it into his goal. It was later retrieved by police and determined to be a harmless dummy. There was fighting inside and outside the ground during the game between both sets of supporters, with one Millwall fan sustaining a broken jaw.

Fighting began on the terraces and spilled onto the pitch; dozens of fans were injured, with some hooligans turning on their own team's supporters leaving some innocent fans bloodied. Bobby Robson, then manager of Ipswich, said of Millwall fans afterward, "They [the police] should have turned the [[flamethrower]]s on them".<ref name="Millwall vs the Mob"/> In 1982 Millwall club chairman Alan Thorne threatened to close the club because of violence sparked by losing in the FA Cup to non-league side [[Slough Town F.C.|Slough Town]].<ref name="The First 125 Years"/><ref name="Japan Times"/>

The [[1985 Kenilworth Road riot]], after an FA Cup sixth-round match between Luton Town and Millwall on 13 March 1985, became one of the worst and widely reported incidents of football hooliganism to date. On that night, approximately 20,000 people packed into a ground that usually only held half that number to watch Luton beat Millwall 1–0.<ref name="The First 125 Years"/> Numerous pitch invasions, fighting in the stands and missile-throwing occurred, of which one such object hit Luton's goalkeeper [[Les Sealey]]. It led to a ban on away supporters by Luton from their [[Kenilworth Road]] ground for four years. Luton were asked by Millwall to make the Wednesday night match all-ticket, but this was ignored.<ref name="Japan Times"/> As a result, rival hooligan firms gained access to the stadium. As well as the Millwall hooligans and those belonging to Luton's firm the [[Luton Town MIGs|MIGs]], many of the 31 fans arrested after the violence were identified as being from Chelsea's [[Chelsea Headhunters|Headhunters]] firm and West Ham United's [[Inter City Firm]].<ref name="Japan Times"/> The FA commissioned an inquiry which concluded that it was "not satisfied that Millwall F.C. took all reasonable precautions in accordance with the requirements of FA Rule 31(A)(II)."

In May 2002, hundreds of hooligans attaching themselves to Millwall were involved in disorder around the ground, after the team lost a play-off game to Birmingham City. It was described by the BBC as one of the worst cases of civil disorder seen in Great Britain in recent times. A police spokeswoman said that 47 police officers and 24 police horses were injured, and the Metropolitan Police considered suing the club after the events.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/1967510.stm |title=Four charged over Millwall violence |work=BBC Sport |date=4 May 2002 |access-date=25 August 2009}}</ref> The then chairman Theo Paphitis responded that Millwall could not be blamed for the actions of a mindless minority who attach themselves to the club. "The problem of mob violence is not solely a Millwall problem, it is not a football problem, it is a problem which plagues the whole of our society", he said. Paphitis later introduced a membership scheme whereby only fans who would be prepared to join and carry membership cards would be allowed into The Den. Scotland Yard withdrew its threat to sue, stating: "In light of the efforts made and a donation to a charity helping injured police officers, the Metropolitan Police Service has decided not to pursue legal action against Millwall F.C. in relation to the disorder".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2459365.stm |title=Met drops threat to sue Millwall |work=BBC Sport |date=13 November 2002 |access-date=25 August 2009}}</ref> Some legal experts said it would have been difficult to hold a football club responsible for something that occurred away from its ground and involved people who did not attend the match. The scheme introduced by Paphitis now only applies to perceived high-risk away games. Many fans blame the scheme for diminishing Millwall's away support, such as at Leeds United where fans are issued with vouchers which are then exchanged for tickets at a designated point of [[West Yorkshire Police]]'s choosing on the day of the game. Also, early kick-off times arranged by the police often result in only a few hundred fans making the trip.<ref name="Police mount anti-hooligan operation">{{cite web

In January 2009, hundreds of Millwall fans perceived as "high risk" individuals gained access to an FA Cup fourth-round match away at [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]]. The game, won 2–0 by Hull, was overshadowed when seats, coins and plastic bottles were thrown by some away supporters. There were conflicting reports in the media as to whether missiles were initially thrown by Hull supporters following chanting and jeering by Millwall fans of [[Jimmy Bullard]] (an ex-West Ham player) just prior to the fixture.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/hull-to-bill-millwall-for-damage-to-stand-1515786.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090204123130/http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/hull-to-bill-millwall-for-damage-to-stand-1515786.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 February 2009|title=Hull to bill Millwall for damage to stand|work=The Independent |location=UK |author=Jon Culley|date=26 January 2009|access-date=25 August 2009 }}</ref> On 25 August 2009, Millwall played away at West Ham United in the Football League Cup, losing 3–1 after extra time. One Millwall supporter was stabbed during clashes between the two sets of fans outside the ground. The game saw hundreds of West Ham fans invade the pitch on three occasions, forcing the game to be temporarily suspended once. The police later said the violence, because of its scale, was organised beforehand.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8221451.stm |title=Mass violence mars London derby |work=BBC Sport |date=25 August 2009 |access-date=25 August 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/8221590.stm|title=FA to probe Upton Park violence |publisher=BBC Sport|date=25 August 2009|access-date=26 August 2009}}</ref> In the aftermath of the disorder, Millwall were handed three charges by the FA and later cleared of all of them; West Ham received four charges and were found guilty on two counts: violent, threatening, obscene and provocative behaviour, and entering the field of play. West Ham were fined £115,000, an amount seen as an insult by Millwall, which staunchly defended the actions of its own fans and the club's inability to do any more than it had for a match at a rival's ground.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/league_cup/8443013.stm|title=West Ham fined £115,000 over violence against Millwall |publisher=BBC Sport|date=15 January 2010|access-date=19 July 2010}}</ref>

After a game against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road in September 2010, manager Kenny Jackett said Millwall's hooligan problems are to a certain extent exaggerated by [[sensationalism|media sensationalism]]. "I see it as unjust. We are an easy club to criticise and in my time [at the club], the way we have been reported is unfair", he said.<ref name="Jackett on QPR game 2010">{{cite news

The ''[[News of the World]]'', however, bore the headline: "Millwall Thugs Deck Linesman With Concrete". This has led to a siege mentality among supporters of the club, which gave rise to the Millwall fans' famous terrace chant, [[No one likes us, we don't care]], being sung in defiant defence of themselves and their team.<ref>The chant so famous as to be mentioned in a book review about football in Bangladesh: McKay, A.
