The teams' stadia inEngland are 171 miles (285 km) apart.[3]

Therivalry between Leeds United and Millwall is aNorth–South dividerivalry inEnglish football.[4]Millwall were founded inLondon in 1885 andLeeds United inYorkshire in 1919, over 170 miles (270 km) apart.[5][6] Both sides enteredthe Football League in1920–21 season, albeit in different divisions. From 1920 to 2003 the sides met just 12 times; competing in different tiers for the majority of their histories, and neither considering the other a rival on the pitch. From 2004 to 2020, the teams met 28 times when Leeds were relegated from thePremier League.[1] The rivalry began inLeague One during the2007–08 season, with disorder and violent clashes between both sets of fans and the police atElland Road.[7] It continued into the2008–09 season; where the teams werevying for promotion to theChampionship, culminating in Millwall knocking Leeds out of theLeague One playoffs at thesemi-final stage.[8][9][10]

The rivalry between the teams is intensified by both clubs' passionate fans and association withfootball hooliganism.[11][8] The clubs' twohooligan firms; theLeeds United Service Crew and theMillwall Bushwackers were notorious in the 1970s and 80s for their violence, being called "dirty Leeds" and "the scourge of football" respectively.[11][12] Leeds and Millwall are two of the most hated clubs inBritish football, with supporters of other teams still attaching a stigma of trouble to the clubs and their fans.[12][13] As a result of fighting and disorder between supporters in 2007, kick-off times in future fixtures between the sides were made earlier and matches heavily policed atThe Den by theMetropolitan Police and at Elland Road by theWest Yorkshire Police.[14][15] An 'anti-hooligan operation' was introduced by West Yorkshire Police in 2010 for Millwall fans to exchange vouchers for tickets atWoolley Edge service station, severely limiting the number of supporters attending away games at Elland Road.[16][17][18] Despite heavier policing measures, there has still been numerous incidents in fixtures; including racial chanting and abuse of players, tragedy chanting from supporters mockingthe death of fans, and assault on a player by a fan who entered the field of play.

According to a survey conducted during the2012–13 season, Leeds fans consider Millwall to be their joint-third biggest rival along withWest Yorkshire sideHuddersfield Town.[19] Millwall'smain rival is fellowLondon clubWest Ham United. The clubs have played each other 45 times and are evenly matched. Both teams have won 20, with five games drawn and both sides being dominant at home. As of the2025–26 season, Leeds play in thePremier League and Millwall play in theChampionship. The clubs have competed in different divisions for the best part of their 99 seasons in the Football League, and have spent twenty seasons together in the same tier.

[edit]

Millwall was formed in 1885 on theIsle of Dogs in theEast End ofLondon.[5] They were founding members of theSouthern League in 1894; which they competed in for 22 seasons, claiming the title twice.[20] Millwall relocatedsouth of theRiver Thames to a new stadium inNew Cross in 1910.[21] In 1919,Leeds United was formed out of the demise ofLeeds City, which was expelled fromthe Football League for financial irregularities.[6] Based inWest Yorkshire; United they played in theMidland League for one season, before both Millwall and Leeds joined the Football League in1920–21 season.[22] Leeds were elected to theSecond Division and Millwall were invited to join the newly createdThird Division.[23] Leeds spent their first few years in the Football Leagueyo-yoing between the First and Second Division, they were promoted to the First in1923–24 and1927–28 seasons and relegated to the Second Division in1926–27 and1930–31 seasons. Millwall spent eight seasons in the Third tier, before being promoted to the Second as Champions in the 1927–28 season.[24]

Different leagues (12 meetings in 72 years): 1931–2003

[edit]

Leeds were relegated from the First to the Second Division in the 1930–31 season, joining Millwall in the same tier for the first time.[25] The clubs met for their first competitive fixture on 7 September 1931, where 9,000 fans saw Millwall win 1–0 atElland Road with a goal fromJimmy Poxton.[26] Leeds won the return fixture atThe Den a week later 3–2.[26] The sides didn't meet again until afterWorld War II in the1947–48 season.[27] Leeds won 2–1 at Elland Road and the teams drew 1–1 at the Den.[27] It was 37 years before the teams would play another game, with both sides competing in different leagues in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.[28] The teams were both in the Second Division for the1985–86,1986–87 and1987–88 seasons.[29] On 9 November 1985, Millwall won 3–1 at The Den and Leeds won the return match at Elland Road in April 1986 by the same score.[30]Teddy Sheringham scored the only goal in a 1–0 win at The Den for Millwall the following season, andAndy Ritchie andIan Baird scored the goals in a 2–0 win for Leeds at Elland Road.[31] In the 1987–88 season; Millwall were promoted as Champions to the First Division for the first time in their history and enjoyed their best run of form against Leeds, winning the next four games.[32] On 14 November 1987,Tony Cascarino scored ahat-trick in a 3–1 win at The Den andTerry Hurlock and Cascarino scored the goals a 2–1 win at Elland Road, the first League double in the fixture.[32] The teams also played two games in theFull Members' Cup in 1987 and 1988 at The Den, both 2–0 wins for Millwall.[1] Tony Cascarino scored his fifth goal against Leeds in the 2–0 cup win on 29 November 1988, and in doing so became the record goalscorer in the fixture.[33]

Rising hostilities and League One promotion battles: 2004–2010

[edit]

"There is always a bit of added excitement when we play Leeds United. They are a massive club with a great tradition, and our rivalry dates back to some epic encounters we had with them in League One as we both endeavoured to win promotion to the Championship."

John Berylson, Millwall chairman (15 November 2012)[34]

Leeds were relegated from thePremier League tothe Championship in2003–04 season, joining Millwall in the same tier for the first time in 16 years.[1] During the2004–05 season both games were drawn 1–1.[35] The teams had mixed fortunes in the2005–06 season; Leeds won their first League double in the fixture, winning 2–1 at Elland Road with a brace fromDavid Healy, and 1–0 at The Den, withBen May scoring a last-minuteown goal.[36] They finished the season in a playoff place, while Millwall were relegated toLeague One. Leeds lost in the2006 Championship play-off final toWatford and were themselves relegated thefollowing season to League One, the first time Leeds had been in the third tier of the Football League.[37][38] The rivalry between the fans intensified in League One during the2007–08 season. On 27 October 2007, fans had to be segregated by police after Millwall fans smashed the windows of buses that were transporting them fromLeeds railway station to Elland Road.[7] Leeds fans were waiting for the buses to arrive by theBilly Bremner statue outside the stadium, amid violent clashes mounted police had to charge to keep both sets of fans apart.[7] The game ended in a 4–2 win for Leeds, withDavid Prutton,Jermaine Beckford, and aJonathan Douglas brace putting the Whites 4–0 up, beforeWill Hoskins andAhmet Brkovic pulled two consolation goals back for the Lions.[1] On 19 April 2008, Leeds completed their second League double over Millwall, with goals from David Prutton andAndy Hughes in a 2–0 win at The Den. This is Leeds best streak in the fixture, winning four in a row and going six games unbeaten.[1] Due to the disorder in the 2007–08 season, kick-off times in future fixtures were made earlier and matches heavily policed atThe Den by theMetropolitan Police and at Elland Road by theWest Yorkshire Police.[14] Leeds finished the season in fifth and reached the2008 League One play-off final, losing 1–0 toDoncaster Rovers.

The sides met four times in the2008–09 season, with both teams vying for promotion to the Championship. On 18 October 2008,Luciano Becchio gave Leeds the lead at the Den, but goals fromDave Martin and a brace fromNeil Harris secured a 3–1 win for Millwall. Jermaine Beckford scored both goals in the return fixture in a 2–0 win for Leeds. Both teams finished in theLeague One play-offs; Leeds in fourth on 84 points and Millwall in fifth place with 82 points, which set up atwo-legged semi-final. Millwall won the first leg at the Den 1–0, with a goal from Neil Harris in the 71st minute.[9][10] In the return leg at Elland Road, a record 37,036 fans saw the biggest game between the two sides.[39] Leeds evened the tie on aggregate at 1–1, with a goal by Luciano Becchio in the 53rd minute. A goal fromJimmy Abdou in the 74th minute won the semi-final for Millwall, sending them toWembley.[39] The Lions went on to lose the2009 League One play-off final 2–3 toScunthorpe United. Both teams were again battling for promotion in the2009–10 season. Due to trouble in previous seasons, a hugely unpopular 'anti-hooligan operation' was introduced by West Yorkshire Police in 2010 for Millwall fans to exchange vouchers for tickets atWoolley Edge service station on theM1 motorway nearWakefield.[16][18] The restriction severely affected the atmosphere in the ground; limiting the number of supporters attending away games at Elland Road, from the capacity of 3,000 visiting fans down to just 150.[17][40]

The Whites were top of the table for most of the first half of the 2009–10 season, and only lost once in their first 24 games. That defeat was a 2–1 loss at the Den, with goals from Neil Harris andGary Alexander. Leeds managerSimon Grayson said of the October 2009 fixture, “It will be a very intense atmosphere. We know what Millwall are like and the rivalry that exists between the teams."[41] In March 2010, Millwall completed their second League double over Leeds, withSteve Morison andShaun Batt securing a 2–0 win at Elland Road. It was their first away win in the fixture in 22 years.[42] At the end of the season Leeds finished second in League One on 86 points and were promoted automatically. Millwall finished third on 85 points and were promoted via the play-offs, with a 1–0 win overSwindon Town in the2010 League One play-off final.[42]

Animosity continues into the Championship: 2011–

[edit]

Since both clubs were promoted into the Championship the majority of games in the fixture have been won by the home side. Between the2010–11 and2017–18 seasons, Leeds have won five and lost one game at Elland Road. Millwall have also won five games and lost one at the Den.[1] On 21 August 2010, Leeds won 3–1 at Elland Road with a brace fromDavide Somma.[1] In the return fixture at the Den in April 2011, four Millwall fans were ejected and banned for wavingTurkish flags, mockingthe deaths of two Leeds supporters who were murdered in Turkey before a match againstGalatasaray in 2000.[43] The game ended in a 3–2 win for Millwall, withJames Henry,Liam Trotter, and Steve Morison scoring for the Lions. Leeds completed their third league double over Millwall in the2011–12 season. TwoRobert Snodgrass goals gave the Whites a 2–0 win at Elland Road in December, 2011. A solitaryRoss McCormack goal secured the win at the Den in March, 2012.[1] AChris Wood goal in the 85th minute gave Millwall a 1–0 win at the Den in November, 2012. This began a run of seven successive wins for the home team in the fixture. The game was notable for racial chanting by Millwall fans toward the Leeds playerEl Hadji Diouf, with one supporter receiving a football banning order of five years.[44][45] In March 2013, a penalty byStephen Warnock won the game for Leeds in the return fixture in the2012–13 season.[1] On 28 September 2013, goals fromMartyn Woolford andScott Malone gave Millwall a 2–0 victory at the Den. Leeds won 2–1 at Elland Road the following March, withMatt Smith and Ross McCormack scoring the goals for the Whites.[1] On the opening day of the2014–15 season, Millwall supporters goaded Leeds fans with songs aboutpaedophileJimmy Savile (who was born inLeeds). Millwall manager at the timeIan Holloway called the songs, "obscene and disrespectful to Savile's victims."[46] The Lions won the game 2–0, with a goal fromMark Beevers and aShaun Williams penalty.[1] Leeds won the return fixture at Elland Road 1–0, with a goal fromAlex Mowatt.[1] Millwall finished 22nd in the Championship, and were relegated to League One for the2015–16 season. The Lions finished in the play-offs, before losing in the2016 League One play-off final toBarnsley 1–3.[47] In the2016–17 season, Millwall finished in the play-offs again and returned to Wembley, this time defeatingBradford City 1–0 in the2017 League One play-off final, gaining promotion to the Championship.[48]

In the2017–18 season, Millwall rejoined Leeds in the Championship after a two-year absence. The sides met at the Den on 16 September 2017, with Leeds unbeaten and top of the Championship table. AnAiden O'Brien goal won the game for Millwall 1–0, with Leeds conceding their first goal in over ten hours of football.[49][50] After the win, Millwall manager Neil Harris said, "The fact Millwall versus Leeds is a rivalry based on previous seasons adds to it, of course it does. It builds the atmosphere in the ground, both sets of supporters look forward to it, and a lot is said in the press about it. It is important we give our fans bragging rights."[51] In the return fixture at Elland Road on 20 January 2018; Millwall beat Leeds 4–3, the highest ever scoring game between the sides. In a highly eventful match, Leeds came back from 0–2 and a man down after their captainLiam Cooper was sent-off to lead 3–2, but two late goals in the final two minutes gave Millwall their third league double over Leeds and first away win of the season.[52] The sides played out a 1–1 draw at the Den thefollowing season, withJed Wallace giving the Lions the lead just after half-time, and a late equaliser byJack Harrison in the 89th minute sharing the points.[53] Leeds won the return fixture at Elland Road 3–2. Millwall twice took the lead, but aPablo Hernández double secured all three points for the Whites.[54] In the2019–20 season, managerless Millwall won 2–1 at home against Leeds, their eighth victory in the last ten games against Leeds at the Den. A penalty fromJed Wallace and a goal fromTom Bradshaw gave Millwall a two-goal lead, beforeEzgjan Alioski pulled a goal back for Leeds.Gaetano Berardi was sent off for Leeds, his seventh red card for the club.[55] In January 2020, Leeds came from behind to beat Millwall 3–2 at Elland Road. Millwall took a 2–0 lead in the first 23 minutes, with goals fromShaun Hutchinson and Jed Wallace. After half-time Leeds scored three goals in 15 minutes, with a brace fromPatrick Bamford and Pablo Hernández scoring the other goal.[56] At the end of the season, Leeds were promoted to thePremier League aschampions and Millwall finished eighth. Leeds spent three seasons in the Premier League, before being relegated back into the Championship.
