(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The rivalry between Leeds United and Millwall is a bitter North\u2013South divide rivalry in English football.[4]Millwall were founded in London in 1885 and Leeds United in Yorkshire in 1919, over 170 miles (270\u00a0km) apart.[6] Both sides entered the Football League in 1920\u201321 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 the Premier League.[1] The rivalry began in League One during the 2007\u201308 season, with disorder and violent clashes between both sets of fans and the police at Elland Road.[7] It continued into the 2008\u201309 season; where the teams were vying for promotion to the Championship, culminating in Millwall knocking Leeds out of the League One playoffs at the semi-final stage.[8]The rivalry between the teams is intensified by both clubs’ passionate fans and association with football hooliganism.[10] The clubs’ two hooligan firms; the Leeds United Service Crew and the Millwall Bushwackers were notorious in the 1970s and 80s for their violence, being called “dirty Leeds” and “the scourge of football” respectively.[10][11] Leeds and Millwall are two of the most hated clubs in British football, with supporters of other teams still attaching a stigma of trouble to the clubs and their fans.[11][12] 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 at The Den by the Metropolitan Police and at Elland Road by the West Yorkshire Police.[13][14] An ‘anti-hooligan operation’ was introduced by West Yorkshire Police in 2010 for Millwall fans to exchange vouchers for tickets at Woolley Edge service station, severely limiting the number of supporters attending away games at Elland Road.[15][16][17] According to a survey conducted during the 2012\u201313 season, Leeds fans consider Millwall to be their joint-third biggest rival along with West Yorkshire side Huddersfield Town.[18] Millwall’s main rival is fellow London club West Ham United.The clubs have played each other 40 times and are evenly matched; Millwall has won 18, Leeds 17 and five games have ended in a draw. Both sides are dominant at home, very few games are drawn, and neither side has ever won by more than two goals. As of the 2022\u201323 season, Leeds play in the Premier League and Millwall play in the Championship, the tier below. The clubs have competed in different divisions for the best part of their 95 seasons in the Football League, and have spent just eighteen seasons together in the same tier.

They were founding members of the Southern League in 1894; which they competed in for 22 seasons, claiming the title twice. Millwall relocated south of the River Thames to a new stadium in New Cross in 1910. In 1919, Leeds United was formed out of the demise of Leeds City, which was expelled from the Football League for financial irregularities.[6] Based in West Yorkshire; United they played in the Midland League for one season, before both Millwall and Leeds joined the Football League in 1920\u201321 season. Leeds were elected to the Second Division and Millwall were invited to join the newly created Third Division.  Leeds spent their first few years in the Football League yo-yoing between the First and Second Division, they were promoted to the First in 1923\u201324 and 1927\u201328 seasons and relegated to the Second Division in 1926\u201327 and 1930\u201331 seasons. Millwall spent eight seasons in the Third tier, before being promoted to the Second as Champions in the 1927\u201328 season.Different leagues (12 meetings in 72 years): 1931\u20132003[edit]Leeds were relegated from the First to the Second Division in the 1930\u201331 season, joining Millwall in the same tier for the first time. The clubs met for their first competitive fixture on 7 September 1931, where 9,000 fans saw Millwall win 1\u20130 at Elland Road with a goal from Jimmy Poxton. Leeds won the return fixture at The Den a week later 3\u20132. The sides didn’t meet again until after World War II in the 1947\u201348 season. Leeds won 2\u20131 at Elland Road and the teams drew 1\u20131 at the Den. It was 37 years before the teams would play another game, with both sides competing in different leagues in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The teams were both in the Second Division for the 1985\u201386, 1986\u201387 and 1987\u201388 seasons. On 9 November 1985, Millwall won 3\u20131 at The Den and Leeds won the return match at Elland Road in April 1986 by the same score.Teddy Sheringham scored the only goal in a 1\u20130 win at The Den for Millwall the following season, and Andy Ritchie and Ian Baird scored the goals in a 2\u20130 win for Leeds at Elland Road.[30] In the 1987\u201388 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. On 14 November 1987, Tony Cascarino scored a hat-trick in a 3\u20131 win at The Den and Terry Hurlock and Cascarino scored the goals a 2\u20131 win at Elland Road, the first League double in the fixture. The teams also played two games in the Full Members’ Cup in 1987 and 1988 at The Den, both 2\u20130 wins for Millwall.[1] Tony Cascarino scored his fifth goal against Leeds in the 2\u20130 cup win on 29 November 1988, and in doing so became the record goalscorer in the fixture.

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.”\u2014John Berylson, Millwall chairman (15 November 2012)[33]Leeds were relegated from the Premier League to the Championship in 2003\u201304 season, joining Millwall in the same tier for the first time in 16 years.[1] During the 2004\u201305 season both games were drawn 1\u20131. The teams had mixed fortunes in the 2005\u201306 season; Leeds won their first League double in the fixture, winning 2\u20131 at Elland Road with a brace from David Healy, and 1\u20130 at The Den, with Ben May scoring a last-minute own goal. They finished the season in a playoff place, while Millwall were relegated to League One. Leeds lost in the 2006 Championship play-off final to Watford and were themselves relegated the following season to League One, the first time Leeds had been in the third tier of the Football League.[36][37] The rivalry between the fans intensified in League One during the 2007\u201308 season. On 27 October 2007, fans had to be segregated by police after Millwall fans smashed the windows of buses that were transporting them from Leeds railway station to Elland Road.[7] Leeds fans were waiting for the buses to arrive by the Billy 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\u20132 win for Leeds, with David Prutton, Jermaine Beckford, and a Jonathan Douglas brace putting the Whites 4\u20130 up, before Will Hoskins and Ahmet 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 and Andy Hughes in a 2\u20130 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\u201308 season, kick-off times in future fixtures were made earlier and matches heavily policed at The Den by the Metropolitan Police and at Elland Road by the West Yorkshire Police.[13] Leeds finished the season in fifth and reached the 2008 League One play-off final, losing 1\u20130 to Doncaster Rovers.The sides met four times in the 2008\u201309 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 from Dave Martin and a brace from Neil Harris secured a 3\u20131 win for Millwall. Jermaine Beckford scored both goals in the return fixture in a 2\u20130 win for Leeds. Both teams finished in the League One play-offs; Leeds in fourth on 84 points and Millwall in fifth place with 82 points, which set up a two-legged semi-final. Millwall won the first leg at the Den 1\u20130, with a goal from Neil Harris in the 71st minute.[8] In the return leg at Elland Road, a record 37,036 fans saw the biggest game between the two sides.[38] Leeds evened the tie on aggregate at 1\u20131, with a goal by Luciano Becchio in the 53rd minute. A goal from Jimmy Abdou in the 74th minute won the semi-final for Millwall, sending them to Wembley.[38] The Lions went on to lose the 2009 League One play-off final 2\u20133 to Scunthorpe United. Both teams were again battling for promotion in the 2009\u201310 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 at Woolley Edge service station on the M1 motorway near Wakefield.[15][17] 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.[16][39] The Whites were top of the table for most of the first half of the 2009\u201310 season, and only lost once in their first 24 games. That defeat was a 2\u20131 loss at the Den, with goals from Neil Harris and Gary Alexander. In March 2010, Millwall completed their second League double over Leeds, with Steve Morison and Shaun Batt securing a 2\u20130 win at Elland Road. It was their first away win in the fixture in 22 years. 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\u20130 win over Swindon Town in the 2010 League One play-off final.Animosity continues into the Championship: 2011\u20132020[edit]  Millwall and Leeds United players shake hands before kick-off at The Den on 9 August, 2014Since both clubs were promoted into the Championship the majority of games in the fixture have been won by the home side. Between the 2010\u201311 and 2017\u201318 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\u20131 at Elland Road with a brace from Davide Somma.[1] In the return fixture at the Den in April 2011, four Millwall fans were ejected and banned for waving Turkish flags, mocking the deaths of two Leeds supporters who were murdered in Turkey before a match against Galatasaray in 2000.[41] The game ended in a 3\u20132 win for Millwall, with James Henry, Liam Trotter, and Steve Morison scoring for the Lions. Leeds completed their third league double over Millwall in the 2011\u201312 season. Two Robert Snodgrass goals gave the Whites a 2\u20130 win at Elland Road in December, 2011. A solitary Ross McCormack goal secured the win at the Den in March, 2012.[1] A Chris Wood goal in the 85th minute gave Millwall a 1\u20130 win at the Den in November, 2012. This began a run of seven successive wins for the home team in the fixture. In March 2013, a penalty by Stephen Warnock won the game for Leeds in the return fixture in the 2012\u201313 season.[1] On 28 September 2013, goals from Martyn Woolford and Scott Malone gave Millwall a 2\u20130 victory at the Den. Leeds won 2\u20131 at Elland Road the following March, with Matt Smith and Ross McCormack scoring the goals for the Whites.[1] On the opening day of the 2014\u201315 season, Millwall supporters goaded Leeds fans with songs about paedophile Jimmy Savile (who was born in Leeds). Millwall manager at the time Ian Holloway called the songs, “obscene and disrespectful to Savile’s victims.”[42] The Lions won the game 2\u20130, with a goal from Mark Beevers and a Shaun Williams penalty.[1] Leeds won the return fixture at Elland Road 1\u20130, with a goal from Alex Mowatt.[1] Millwall finished 22nd in the Championship, and were relegated to League One for the 2015\u201316 season. The Lions finished in the play-offs, before losing in the 2016 League One play-off final to Barnsley 1\u20133.[43] In the 2016\u201317 season, Millwall finished in the play-offs again and returned to Wembley, this time defeating Bradford City 1\u20130 in the 2017 League One play-off final, gaining promotion to the Championship.[44]In the 2017\u201318 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. An Aiden O’Brien goal won the game for Millwall 1\u20130, with Leeds conceding their first goal in over ten hours of football.[45] In the return fixture at Elland Road on 20 January 2018; Millwall beat Leeds 4\u20133, the highest ever scoring game between the sides. In a highly eventful match, Leeds came back from 0\u20132 and a man down after their captain Liam Cooper was sent-off to lead 3\u20132, but two late goals in the final two minutes gave Millwall their third league double over Leeds and first away win of the season.[46] The sides played out a 1-1 draw at the Den the following season, with Jed Wallace giving the Lions the lead just after half-time, and a late equaliser by Jack Harrison in the 89th minute sharing the points.[47] Leeds won the return fixture at Elland Road 3\u20132. Millwall twice took the lead, but a Pablo Hern\u00e1ndez double secured all three points for the Whites.[48] In the 2019\u201320 season, managerless Millwall won 2\u20131 at home against Leeds, their eighth victory in the last ten games against Leeds at the Den. A penalty from Jed Wallace and a goal from Tom Bradshaw gave Millwall a two-goal lead, before Ezgjan Alioski pulled a goal back for Leeds. Gaetano Berardi was sent off for Leeds, his seventh red card for the club.[49] In January 2020, Leeds came from behind to beat Millwall 3\u20132 at Elland Road. Millwall took a 2\u20130 lead in the first 23 minutes, with goals from Shaun Hutchinson and Jed Wallace. After half-time Leeds scored three goals in 15 minutes, with a brace from Patrick Bamford and Pablo Hern\u00e1ndez scoring the other goal.[50] At the end of the season, Leeds were promoted to the Premier League as champions and Millwall finished eighth. For the first time since the 2016\u201317 season, the two sides won’t play in the same league.Notable matches[edit]The first game between the sides. 9,000 fans at Elland Road saw Millwall win 1\u20130, with a goal from winger Jimmy Poxton. It was only one of four home defeats in the 1931\u201332 season for Leeds, who finished runners-up in the Second Division and were promoted. Millwall finished ninth.In the 2008\u201309 season Leeds finished fourth (on 84 points) and Millwall fifth (82 points) in League One, setting up a two-legged playoff semi-final.[8] Millwall won the first leg at The Den 1\u20130, with a goal from former Millwall manager Neil Harris in the 71st minute. There was a pitch invasion after the goal, with Leeds goalkeeper Casper Ankergren being involved in an accident with a fan who was arrested on suspicion of assault.[51]The FA launched an investigation into the trouble, with Ankergren saying, “I was pushed in the back by one of the fans that came on the pitch too. It’s very bad for football and Millwall should be punished.”[52]37,036 fans at Elland Road saw the most important game between the two sides, the largest ever attendance in the fixture and largest outside of the Premier League in the 2008\u201309 season.[38] Leeds dominated early possession and were awarded a penalty. Millwall keeper David Forde saved a weak spot-kick by Jermaine Beckford. Leeds pressure eventually paid off, with a goal by Luciano Becchio in the 53rd minute which evened the tie at 1\u20131. Millwall soaked up more pressure before catching United on the counter-attack, with a goal by defensive midfielder Jimmy Abdou in the 74th minute.[38] Millwall held on to win 2\u20131 on aggregate. They went on to lose the playoff final 2\u20133 to Scunthorpe United.

Millwall finished off a highly eventful topsy-turvy game with an equaliser from Tom Elliott in the 88th minute, and the winner from Jed Wallace two minutes into stoppage-time. This game was Millwall’s first away win of the 2017\u201318 season and third league double over Leeds.[53][46]Results[edit]As of 28 January 2020.[1]By competition[edit]  This table only includes competitive first-team games, excluding all pre-season games, friendlies, abandoned matches, testimonials and games played during the First and Second World Wars.Full list of results[edit]Score lists home team first.DateScoreWinnerCompetitionVenueAttendanceNotes7 September 19310\u20131MillwallSecond DivisionElland Road9,000First ever game between the teams.14 September 19312\u20133Leeds UnitedSecond DivisionThe Den11,84422 November 19472\u20131Leeds UnitedSecond DivisionElland Road24,00010 April 19481\u20131DrawSecond DivisionThe Den21,4269 November 19853\u20131MillwallSecond DivisionThe Den9,758First game between the sides in 37 years, longest period without meeting.12 April 19863\u20131Leeds UnitedSecond DivisionElland Road15,0678 November 19861\u20130MillwallSecond DivisionThe Den6,8694 April 19872\u20130Leeds UnitedSecond DivisionElland Road18,30414 November 19873\u20131MillwallSecond DivisionThe Den8,014Tony Cascarino hat-trick.8 December 19872\u20130MillwallFull Members’ CupThe Den5,034Second round.6 April 19881\u20132MillwallSecond DivisionElland Road24,241League double (1st for Millwall), first win at Elland Road for 57 years.29 November 19882\u20130MillwallFull Members’ CupThe Den4,178Second round, last game between the sides at the Old Den.19 December 20041\u20131DrawChampionshipElland Road26,265First game in 16 years.6 March 20051\u20131DrawChampionshipThe Den11,510First game at the New Den between the teams.7 August 20052\u20131Leeds UnitedChampionshipElland Road20,44026 November 20050\u20131Leeds UnitedChampionshipThe Den8,134League double (1st for Leeds), Leeds first win at The Den for 74 years.27 October 20074\u20132Leeds UnitedLeague OneElland Road30,319Violent clashes between both sets of fans and police occur before and after game.19 April 20080\u20132Leeds UnitedLeague OneThe Den13,395League double (2nd for Leeds)18 October 20083\u20131MillwallLeague OneThe Den13,0419 February 20092\u20130Leeds UnitedLeague OneElland Road19,314Jermaine Beckford scores his second and third goals against Millwall in the fixture.9 May 20091\u20130MillwallPlayoff Semi-finalThe Den13,228First leg.14 May 20091\u20131DrawPlayoff Semi-finalElland Road37,036Second leg.
