Their team nickname is The Lions, formerly The Dockers. They changed the nickname after being referred to as \"Lions\" for their acts of giant killing in their FA Cup run of 1900, when they reached the semi final. They adopted a lion emblem, bearing the legend, We Fear No Foe. The emblem, along with its legend, was not added to their shirts until the 1930's. We Fear No Foe was changed later, however, to just MFC, (Millwall Football Club). They also reached the semi final in 1903, 1907 and 1937. Their 1937 appearance was notable as they became the first team in the old third division to reach the last four.

Their traditional strip consists of blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks. Their current strip is blue shirts with white trim, white shorts with blue trim and blue socks with white trim.

Millwall \"Rovers\" were founded by the workers of J.T. Morton in Millwall in the East End of London on the Isle of Dogs in 1885. J.T. Morton was owned by Iron Merchant James Morton, Provost of Greenock (1867-1871), Scotland. They opened their first English cannery and food processing plant on the Isle of Dogs at the Millwall dock in 1870, and attracted a workforce from across the whole of the country, including the East Coast of Scotland. The group of tinsmiths who founded Millwall were predominantly, but not exclusively Scottish. The club secretary was seventeen year old Jasper Sexton, the son of the landlord of The Islander Pub in Tooke Street where Millwall held their meetings. The first chairman of the club was Irish international footballer and local GP Doctor William Murray-Leslie, who surprisingly never played for the club. Their original nickname, \"The Dockers\" emanated from the occupation of the club's supporters.

History

Formation

Millwall's first fixture was in 1885 against Fillebrook, who played in Leytonstone. The newly formed team was well beaten 5 - 0. Learning from this early defeat, they were unbeaten in their next 12 games before they lost to the top East London side Old St Pauls. In their first season, they were only beaten three times. In November 1886, the East End Football Association was formed, and along with it came a Senior Cup Competition. Millwall made it to the final against London Caledonians. The game was played at the Leyton Cricket Ground. The match finished 2 - 2 and the teams shared the cup for six months each. During this season, Millwall played two games on the same day, both at home. The first was a 0 - 0 draw against Dreadnought in the morning; the second, a 4 - 1 win against Westminster Swifts in the afternoon.
