Millwall Football Club has been blindsided by an anti-racism booklet that featured the club's logo on a Ku Klux Klan robe. The booklet, distributed to London primary schools, tells the story of Paul Canoville, a Black player who was subjected to racial abuse while playing for Chelsea in the early and mid-1980s. One page depicts a Ku Klux Klan member in a white robe that has Millwall's logo on the chest, next to a Canoville quote about being racially abused at Millwall. The Paul Canoville Foundation said it wasn't consulted on any of the contents and that the illustration is a depiction of a real incident Paul experienced whilst playing for Chelsea Reserves against Millwall Reserves in the 1980s, in which he was subjected to serious racial abuse by a number of individuals wearing Ku Klux Klan-style white hoods. The Westminster City Council has since apologized for the improper use of Millwall's logo and for any offense caused. Millwall has a strong chance to secure a first-ever promotion to the Premier League, but the club's reputation has been damaged by the incident. The club has worked to change its perception, creating an anti-discrimination body in 1994 and working with organizations such as Kick it Out and Show Racism the Red Card. However, Millwall has suffered dings to its image, including fan behavior during the 2013 FA Cup semifinal against Wigan at Wembley Stadium and a few days after players were booed for taking a knee before kickoff at a December 2020 game. The English Football Association suggested its disciplinary commission consider a partial stadium closure because of offensive chanting by Millwall supporters about disabilities during a September 2025 game at Crystal Palace in the League Cup. The commission called the chants 'abhorrent' and opted to fine Millwall 45,000 pounds ($60,000) in its recent ruling. It was the third breach in the past three years - the previous chanting focused on religion and sexual orientation.
