During the 2003–04 English football season, Millwall competed in theFootball League First Division, the second tier of English football.

Season summary

[edit]

Despite having spent the previous seasons chasing promotion to the Premiership,Mark McGhee left Millwall by "mutual consent" in October with the club just six points behind league leadersSheffield United with 14 games played. His replacement, player-managerDennis Wise, led Millwall to a final 10th place, four points off the play-offs. The club enjoyed greater success in theFA Cup, reaching the final for the first time in their history,^[2] to faceManchester United. Millwall, who were missing 16 players through injury and suspension, were unable to create many opportunities and lost 3-0^[3] to a United side which had finished third in the Premier League that season.

Curtis Weston, a boyhood United fan, became the youngest player to ever appear in an FA Cup final when he came on a substitute for Wise in the 89th minute. Weston, aged 17 years 119 days, beat the 125-year-old record previously held byJames F. M. Prinsep, who appeared in the1879 final forClapham Rovers aged 17 years and 245 days; Weston defeated Prinsep's record by 126 days.

As United had already qualified for theChampions League, Millwall gained European qualification for the first time in their history, entering theUEFA Cup in the first round.
