The famous people that supposedly support Millwall – Did you know this? | OneFootball

Despite not being near the top of the Championship attendance charts, Millwall certainly have a vociferous and passionate fanbase – perhaps one of the best in the country.

The Lions have plenty of top Premier League clubs surrounding them in London yet are still well-supported and have multiple claims to fame for celebrity fans.

Let’s take a look at some of those who have been seen on the terraces at The Den and have made clear their support for the club.

Daniel Day-Lewis

The Oscar-winning actor spent his youth on the terraces at The Den before he became a world-renowned movie star, and even mentioned the club in his speech after winning a BAFTA in 2008.

MILLWALL WERE FOUNDED IN 1884

REAL FAKE

The 65-year-old has been in movies and in theatrical productions with his three ‘Best Actor’ Oscars coming for his performances in My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood and Lincoln.

David Haye

Perhaps the name best-known on the list to the younger generation, Haye is a former world heavyweight champion boxer who held the WBA title for over a year-and-a-half between 2009 and 2011 before losing out to Wladimir Klitschko, whilst also being the undisputed cruiserweight world championship before that.

He is a lifelong Millwall fan having been born in Bermondsey and has made several appearances at The Den on the pitch, and helped prepare the club for their 2011 FA Cup clash with Birmingham City with a fun sparring session at the stadium as part of a media day.

Danny Baker

A well-known name in London on the radio, Baker is a presenter and journalist from the capital who grew up in Bermondsey, hence his affiliation to the Lions.

Baker is a lifelong supporter of the club and even joined in for a training session with the club in his younger days, but now is a regular at The Den in the stands with his son.

Baker has worked for the BBC for much of his radio career, which started in 1989, but was sacked in 2019 after a Twitter post relating to the Royal Family.

Blake Harrison

There is only one role that Harrison is predominantly known for and that is his portrayal as Neil Sutherland in the British comedy series and then movies The Inbetweeners.

As well as showing off his footballing skills at Soccer Aid on multiple occasions, Harrison is a keen Lions fan and has been for many a year, and is a local lad having attended college before his acting career took off in nearby Rotherhithe.

More recently in 2020, Harrison displayed his dismay for a section of the Millwall fanbase who booed players taking the knee before they faced Derby in December of that year.
