List of Millwall F.C. seasons

List of Millwall F.C. seasons
Millwall Rovers in 1887, the first season they entered the FA Cup.[1]

This is a list of all seasons played by Millwall Football Club from their early beginnings in the Southern League, to their inaugural season in 1920–21 in the English Football League and up to their last completed season. It details their record in the FA Cup, the League Cup and other major competitions entered, as well as managers, top goalscorers and average home attendance for each season.

Millwall were founded in 1885 and for the first nine years of their existence did not compete in league football. They first entered the FA Cup in 1887, turning full time professional as a club in 1890. They were founding members of the Southern League in 1894, which they competed in for 22 seasons, claiming the title twice. They left to join the Football League in 1920. Millwall have played in all four divisions during their 84 seasons in the league, including the Third Division South, which they won twice, in 1928 and 1938. Millwall were Fourth Division champions in 1962.

The 1988–89 season stands as The Lions most successful, where they finished 10th in their first ever season in the First Division, after being promoted as champions of the Second Division in 1988.[2] Their lowest league finish is 9th in the founding season of the Fourth Division in 1958–59.[3]

Millwall were Second Division champions in 2001, where they finished with their highest ever points total of 93. They reached the 2004 FA Cup Final, losing to Manchester United, but still qualified for the UEFA Cup the following season, playing in Europe for the first time in their history. They've also reached the FA Cup semi-finals on three separate occasions, in 1900, 1903 and 1937. Millwall have also reached the quarter-finals of the League Cup on three separate occasions, in 1974, 1977 and 1995. Millwall won the Football League Group Cup in 1983 and were runners up in the League Cup Final in 1999. They've reached the Football League play-offs six times, winning promotion once in 2010.

Millwall's 125 year anniversary game against Burnley in 2010.[4]

Richard Parker holds the record for most goals scored in a season with 38 in 1926–27. The Lions highest average home attendance is 27,373 in 1938–39, just before the Second World War broke out.

As of the 2010–11 season, Millwall have spent 2 seasons in the top division of English football, 36 in the second, 41 in the third and 5 in the fourth.[5] They have been promoted ten times (five as champions), relegated nine times and are statistically the 40th most successful Football League side in English football based on finishing position.[6][7]
