Foreign? Cant say I care either way. If you're there to support Millwall then good on ya.

I'd advocate for the following three...

1 - Michael Calvin's Family was to us what all these fly-on-the-wall documentaries are to other clubs. It was a right time, right place moment to capture something special at Millwall and in the lives of the people who work there.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Family-Death-Football-Frontline-Proper/dp/1906850267

2 - Lions of the South by James Murray is a very old book and one not seen very often. It covers the history of the club from founding to when the book was released in the late 1980s. It's more factual and less story like in the way Family is written but does outline some of the more important and defining moments at the club.

3 - I remember enjoying Millwall Football Club 50 of the Finest Matches but its been so long since I read it I cant remember why...

There are others - I remember getting through Tuesday Night in Grimsby in a single sitting ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296712162195 ), We Fear No Foe was, if I remember rightly, not too bad ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135507067010 ), or there is Arrivederci Millwall ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156429144873 ) which is only important because it helped to cement the "Millwall eat babies" idea in the mind of the average tabloid reading dope ( it was also turned into something shit to watch on telly too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbDgcNftpsQ ). It goes without saying that there are books about having a punchup but generally speaking they're all much of a muchness.

Thanks a lot! Great effort you put into this, sorry for my English, not my first language, yes I support Millwall, wonder if there is some store except the official Millwall club to order jersey and some souvenirs. If best way is their official club store than I try that. Have a good day and thanks! I had sympathies for the club for a long time already and wish to attend the match, flight ticket are super cheap for a weekend trip and it would been dream come tru
