Millwall Football Club are a football team based at the 20,146 capacity New Den Stadium in south-east London, England. They currently play in the Football League Championship.
Their team nickname is The Lions, derived from their club emblem. Their traditional strip consists of vertical blue and white stripes. The club was founded in 1885 by Scottish dock workers. The blue in their home strip comes from these Scottish dock workers. The club's name comes from where it was founded, at the Millwall Docks on the Isle of Dogs, across the River Thames from where the club now plays.
In 2003, Dennis Wise, ex-Chelsea and England player, became caretaker, and subsequently permanent player-manager of the club. In his first season in charge, Wise led the club to the first FA Cup final in their history. They played the Cup final on May 22 2004, losing 3-0 to Manchester United. As Manchester United had already qualified for the Champions League, Millwall were assured of playing in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup. Millwall midfielder Curtis Weston, substituted for Wise with two minutes to play, became the youngest Cup Final player in history at 17 years 119 days.
In the 2004/05 UEFA Cup, Millwall lost in the first round proper to Hungarian side Ferencváros.
