Meet the Millwall fans in this picture. Because I know you want to know who they are. Allow me to introduce you. 🧵🧵

Colin, 52. Started going to Millwall a few years ago as part of a midlife crisis. Doesn't know what he fears most between His wife and privately-educated kids finding out he goes Millwall or his fellow fans finding out he runs a vegan cafe and bookshop and votes Green Party.

Big Den, 51. Cheeky chappie London cab driver. Heart of gold, do anything for anyone, never pushes in the Kings Cross rank because it's against the code. Thinks the channel migrants should be rounded up and gassed.

Carl 37. Once pushed an away fan outside the tube station before ducking behind his mate. Still spins it down the boozer that he wrote off half of Charlton's mob forgetting that everyone he's telling the story to was there and saw it all. Hasn't had a real punch up since year 7

Pete 52. Quietly fancies himself the top lad. Jokes that his best days are behind him. Shadow boxes in the mirror before setting off to the game. Thickens his cockney accent at weekends to hide the fact that he's a deputy headteacher at a prep school. Divorced.

Maurice 57. Mysterious and vaguely threatening quiet man. Rumours among the lads that he's an armed blagger who was best mates with the Krays and did 30 years in Belmarsh. He allows them to think this.

Only conviction was for non payment of TV Licence Lives with his elderly mum.

Ronnie, 58. He actually tells people he was an armed blagger and did 30 years in Belmarsh and was best mates with Reggie Kray.

Train cleaner at a TFL depot. Suspended sentence for voyeurism.

Derek 61. Retired plumber. Fancies himself a man of the world. Has a story from every country you've been to. Books him and the wife into the same self-catering apartment in Benidorm EVERY year.. Sings"Dirty Old Town" on karaoke every chance he gets.
