Archibald "Archie" Leitch ( April 27, 1865 &ndash April 25, 1939) was a Scottish Architect, most famous for his Knightsbridge is a road which gives its name to an exclusive district lying to the west of Central London. The estimated cost of The Den was £10,000. The first match was on Saturday 22 October 1910 against the reigning Southern League Champions Brighton & Hove Albion, who spoiled the celebrations by winning 0 - 1. Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club are an English football club based in the coastal city of Brighton & Hove, East Sussex. The price of the official Match Programme was one penny.

The first and second editions of the club handbook (published 1908-09 and 1909-1910) bore the slogan: "We Fear No Foe, Where E're We Go". It was here that the famous Millwall Roar was born. During this era, it was considered "good form" for home fans to show their appreciation of good football displayed by the opposition. The Millwall fans however, would quite literaly "roar" for their team only, from start to finish. This strongly partisan support was soon to be regarded by the team as "a goal start. " The Den became one of the most feared grounds in the country. No team liked to play there, because the crowd and the place itself created such an intimidating atmosphere. Many supporters from the East End of London continued to follow The Lions in the early years after their move south of the River Thames by walking through the Greenwich foot tunnel to join the supporters drawn mainly from the Surrey Docks.

Millwall at this stage, had dropped the title of "Athletic", and were playing as they do today, under the name of "Millwall F. C. "

Wartime Exploits

On April 7 1945, Millwall appeared in a Southern FA Cup Final at Wembley against Chelsea, but because it was an unofficial Wartime Cup Final it is not acknowledged in the record books. The Football League War Cup was an English football tournament held during World War II, between 1939 and 1945 in the absence of the FA Cup. With the War in Europe in its last days, there was a relaxation on the number of spectators allowed to attend games. The attendance was 90,000, which is the largest crowd Millwall have ever played in front of. Despite being favourites to win, Millwall played poorly and lost 2 - 0 to Chelsea. To this day Lions fans who were at the game blame the "guest players" in the Millwall side, and Sam Bartram, the Charlton goalkeeper, in particular. Charlton Athletic Football Club (also known as The Addicks) is a professional football club based in Charlton, in the London Borough of In many team Sports a goalkeeper (termed goaltender netminder, goalie, or keeper in some sports Despite having won the Cup which was presented by King George VI, the Chelsea post match celebrations soon "fizzled out", and most of their players ended up at the Millwall party, which continued well into the early hours of the morning.

With the loss of so many young men during the Second World War it was difficult for all clubs to retain their former status. This was especially true for Millwall, who appeared to suffer more than most. From being one of the country's biggest clubs before the war, Millwall were reduced to one of its smallest afterwards. The Den sustained severe bomb damage during The London Blitz. The Blitz was the sustained bombing of Britain by Nazi Germany between 7 September 1940 and 10 May 1941 in World War II. A German bomb hit The North Terrace on April 19, 1943 and on 26 April, a fire destroyed the main stand. Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers The club accepted offers from neighbours Charlton, Crystal Palace and West Ham to stage games.

This was achieved, in part, with considerable volunteer labour by the Lions fans.

After the war, rationing in Britain continued and Millwall were refused permission by the Ministry of Works to construct a new two tier stand, despite having procured all the materials. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located The Ministry of Works was a department of the UK Government formed in 1943 during World War II, to organise the requisitioning of property for wartime use They had to wait until 1948, when permission was granted to build a smaller single tier stand two thirds the length of the pitch, with a forecourt terrace at the front. Archibald Leitch's "trademark gables" were never replaced.

In the doldrums

Their form during the 1950s was poor, and they suffered relegation on a regular basis. One highlight during this period was on October 5, 1953, when Millwall played Manchester United to mark the opening of their floodlights. A crowd of 25,000 saw The Lions beat The Red Devils 2 - 1. In the 1958-59 season, Millwall became founder members of Division Four. It wasn't until the early 1960s that things began to change. During this time, they discovered a number of useful players, such as winger Barry Rowan and goalkeeper Alex Stepney. In many team Sports a goalkeeper (termed goaltender netminder, goalie, or keeper in some sports Alexander Cyril Stepney (born 18 September 1942 in Mitcham, Surrey) was an English football player who was Manchester United 's Stepney later went on to fame with Manchester United, winning a European Cup Winners medal in 1968.

The Class of '71

Later in the decade, Millwall established an incredible record of 59 home games without defeat from: 22 August 1964 to 14 January 1967. This was thanks largely to managers Billy Gray, who laid the foundations, and Benny Fenton, a former player who continued to build on Gray's side. Benny Fenton ( October 10 1918 in West Ham, London – 29 July 2000 in Dorset) was an English All the players were presented with a commemorative gold cigarette lighter by the Football Association.

This was a team that boasted the inspirational Harry Cripps, Dennis Burnett, Derek Possee, Barry Kitchener, Eamon Dunphy, Keith Weller, Doug Allder, Alan Dorney, Bryan King, and more.

In 1974 Millwall hosted the first game to be played on a Sunday (against Fulham). Fulham Football Club is an English football team based in Fulham, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. To get around the law at the time, admission was gained by "Programme Only". On production of a matchday magazine, the bearer was then sold a team sheet bearing the words "Official Programme". The programme was sold for the same price as admission to the ground. Millwall repeated this exercise against Fulham on 27 April 1982, hosting the second game to be played on a Sunday.

Millwall are also the only club to be unbeaten at home in four different divisions: 1927-28 Division 3 (South), 1964-65 Division Four, 1965-66 Division Three, 1971-72 Division Two, 1984-85 Division Three.

Reflecting on his time as the Millwall manager Graham informed the South London Press: "The Millwall fans reminded me of home. The South London Press is a Tabloid newspaper based in Streatham, South London covering the boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark, The ground may have been a bit spartan, but I soon realised that the fans were in a different class. In fact, their passion for the game reminded me of my days in Glasgow. Glasgow (ˈglæzgoʊ is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom The people up there are really fanatical about their football, they eat it and sleep it, and the Millwall fans were exactly the same. That was something I wasn't used to, because I thought that in general, southerners were less passionate. I learned so much".

The First Division at long last

Graham's replacement was Glaswegian John Docherty, previously a manager at Brentford and Cambridge United.

When Frank McLintock and I went into the Royal Archer with the Championship Trophy, I think most of our fans thought that I was a cardboard cut-out! They couldn't believe that we wanted to have a drink with them and let them hold the Trophy, but for me, that sort of moment is what the game is all about".

The Football League First Division was the highest division of The Football League between 1993 and 2004 and the highest division of English football overall between This was mainly due to their deadly strike force of Tony Cascarino and Teddy Sheringham, also, Terry Hurlock and team Captain Les Briley who totally dominated the Millwall midfield.

Regeneration, Sports City and American Investment

In 2006, Millwall's Board unveiled an ambitious scheme to regenerate the area surrounding The New Den backed by new investors. Sports City is to become a major redevolpment of housing and a hotel with the football ground a central point. Sports City is a sporting complex located in the Al Waab district of Doha, Qatar which contains several sporting venues mostly constructed in preparation

Millwall FC are currently one of the best supported teams in League One, and will be hoping to regain their place in the Championship in the near future, and hopefully use the re-generation of the area around the ground to push on to bigger and better things.

Millwall Supporters

Millwall are indeed a well supported club for their size and status. They have, however, had a long and notorious history of football hooliganism. Football hooliganism such as brawls vandalism and intimidation carried out by Association football club supporters and fans Their Firm, known as the Bushwackers [sic] were one of the most notorious of all hooligan gangs. Football hooliganism such as brawls vandalism and intimidation carried out by Association football club supporters and fans Millwall Bushwackers ] ] is a hooligan firm associated with Millwall FC that originated in the early 1980s an era of prominent Football hooliganism Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus" "so" "as such" or "just as that" However, the police, especially in the local Lewisham borough, are supportive of the club and recognise that any problems now emanate from a small minority. Chief Superintendent Archie Torrance of Lewisham Police has stated, "Millwall have our full support. Chief Superintendent is a senior rank in Police forces organised on the British model Lewisham is a district in south-east London, England and the principal settlement of the London Borough of Lewisham. " He continues to work hard with the club to keep the ground the safe place that it now is. Informed media commentators including Danny Baker, Paul Casella the editor of the leading Millwall fan magazine The Lion Roars, Danny Kelly and Steve Claridge also believe that Millwall's hooligan problems are to a certain extent greatly exaggerated, and that such wilful exaggeration has led to a siege mentality among the decent, law abiding fans, who are a constant easy target for both press and media alike. Danny Baker (born June 22, 1957, Deptford, South London) is an English Comedy Writer, radio and A fan magazine is a professionally written and published Magazine intended for the amusement of fans of the Popular culture subject matter which it covers Danny Kelly (born 1957 is a music journalist BBC sports presenter and internet publisher Stephen Edward Claridge (born 10 April 1966) is an English football player Pundit and coach Examples of this include: archive footage of their hooligan element's past bad behaviour being shown, when disorder has occurred at other grounds, not involving them. An archive refers to a collection of historical records and also refers to the location in which these records are kept During a game between Millwall and Huddersfield Town, The Observer reported that a Huddersfield Town fan had thrown a coin at a linesman, and that some Millwall fans had intervened, and handed the culprit over to police. Huddersfield Town Football Club is an English football club formed in 1908 and based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. The Observer is a British Newspaper published on Sundays In about the same place on the political spectrum as its daily sister paper The The News of the World, however, bore the headline: "Millwall Thugs Deck Linesman With Concrete". The News of the World is a British Tabloid Newspaper published every Sunday These, and many other similar incidents, gave rise to the Millwall fans' famous song; No One Likes Us – We Don't Care being sung in defiant defence of themselves, and their team. " No One Likes Us – We Don't Care " is a Football chant which originated with the supporters of Millwall F [5] [6][7]

A former Chairman of the club, Reg Burr, once commented; "Millwall are a convenient coat peg for football to hang its social ills on. "[4]

Having said this, hooligans attaching themselves to Millwall were involved in a riot away from the ground, after a play off game against Birmingham City in May 2002, which was described by the BBC as one of the worst cases of civil disorder seen in Great Britain in the recent past. Birmingham City Football Club is an English Professional football club based in the city of Birmingham. See also Kingdom of Great Britain Great Britain (Breatainn Mhòr Prydain Fawr Breten Veur Graet Breetain is the larger of the two main islands A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said that 47 policemen and 24 police horses were injured, and the Metropolitan Police considered suing Millwall after the events. New Scotland Yard or Scotland Yard, informally known as The Yard and NSY, is the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service, responsible [8]

The then Chairman, Theo Paphitis, stated that Millwall Football Club could not be blamed for the actions of a mindless minority who attach themselves to the club. Theo Paphitis (born 24 September 1959) is a Greek Cypriot Entrepreneur based in England. He then went on to introduce a Membership Scheme, whereby only fans who would be prepared to join and carry membership cards, would be allowed into The New 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". [9]

Legal experts believed 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 still applies, but for away games only. Many Millwall fans blame Paphitis' scheme for diminishing Millwall's support at away games.

Their behaviour at the 2004 FA Cup Final was exemplary, with the Cardiff police reporting no arrests of any of the Millwall Supporters. Cardiff ( 'kɑːdɪf) is the Capital and the largest city and county in Wales.
