Millwall Fonzie

People love to look at football and turn it into a Hollywood story. This year alone you have Disney with Wrexham, Netflix with Birmingham, and Sky Sports endlessly discussing a fairytale Premier League champion dropping into League One. But let’s have it right—if we get over the line this season, there’s no better subplot than what’s happened down in SE16. If we go up this season, Sky, the FA, the EFL and the Premier League will try and spin a narrative that everyone else underperformed. That big bad Millwall are going to be up and down the country causing trouble every week. That ain’t the story. Our story is a club that had to fight tooth and nail to keep our home against a council that didn’t want us. Our story is about a son stepping into his dad’s shoes under the most tragic of circumstances to do his family proud. Our story is about a club legend stepping up and saving us from relegation. Our story is about a dressing room having to pick itself up and go again after another tragic loss—this time their teammate and friend. Our story is about a club that doesn’t have TV cameras following us about, doesn’t have a huge budget or superstars on massive wages. Our story is about a club doing things the right way. Staying true to what it is, staying true to its fans. And we’re two fucking games from the promised land. For John. For Mati. For yourselves. Two more games There’s your Hollywood story…

When Coburn scores today, he better go fucking mental.
