Barry Kitchener holds the record for Millwall appearances, having played 596 matches between 1966 and 1982. The goalscoring record is held by Neil Harris, with 138 in all competitions. He broke the previous record of 111 goals, held by Teddy Sheringham on 13 January 2009, during a 3âÂÂ2 away win at Crewe Alexandra. The club's widest victory margin in the league is 9âÂÂ1, a scoreline which they achieved twice in their Football League Third Division South championship-winning year of 1927. They beat both Torquay United and Coventry City by this score at The Den. Millwall's heaviest league defeat was 8âÂÂ1 away to Plymouth Argyle in 1932. The club's heaviest loss in all competitions was a 9âÂÂ1 defeat at Aston Villa in an FA Cup fourth-round second-leg in 1946. Millwall's largest Cup win was 7âÂÂ0 over Gateshead in 1936.

Millwall have played in all four divisions during their 94 consecutive seasons as a member of the Football League, including Division Three South. Since the restructuring of the Football League with a national four-tier system, Millwall's lowest league finish is ninth in the founding season of the Fourth Division in 1958âÂÂ59. The highest league finish is 10th in the First Division of the 1988âÂÂ89 season. As of the 2020âÂÂ21 season, Millwall has spent 94 consecutive seasons in the Football League.
Their 1937 appearance in the FA Cup was distinguished by the fact they became the first team in the old third division to reach the semi-finals, knocking out three First Division sides on the way, including Derby County who were defeated 2âÂÂ1 in front of Millwall's official record crowd of 48,762 on 20 February 1937, with hundreds more locked out. The commentator described the crowd surging and swaying like a "wheatfield in the wind."
Millwall are also famous for officially being the 'best supported club' to have played at the old Wembley Stadium. In the 1999 Autowindscreen Shield Final v Wigan Athletic, Millwall had an estimated 48,000 fans supporting them. In the 2008/2009 season Millwall qualified for the League 1 Play Off Final after beating Leeds United over two legs. Drawn against Scunthorpe United, who only brought around 10,000 supporters, Millwall fans were in the majority with around 45,000. This is the best attendance for a domestic team at the new Wembley.
Millwall have spent 93 seasons in the Football League (1920âÂÂ21 to 2019âÂÂ20), and in that time have averaged an attendance of approximately 12,000, with 25 of those years being played at the current Den and the rest at the Old Den. Just before World War II Millwall averaged their highest attendance of 27,373 and were the tenth best supported club in the country. After the war they continued to attract 20,000+ gates, but the team's fortunes on the pitch began to change for the worse. In the 1950s attendances began to dwindle as the decade drew to a close. Throughout the 1980s Millwall struggled to pull in crowds after home games were made all-ticket after crowd trouble against Leeds United. Often averaging around 4,500 for a season, the club was pushed to the edge of financial extinction. After watching the team struggle for years, promotion to the top flight in 1988 brought supporters back, games are no longer all-ticket and averages since have been just under 10,000.
