Season summary The season started brightly for Millwall, as the Lions went top of the First Division from almost the start of the season and stayed in the automatic promotion places for the first third of the season. Despite three straight losses, Millwall were still top of an admittedly tight First Division as December arrived.http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/division-one/1995-1996/table/1995-12-02 English Division One 1995-1996 Table - statto.com 9 March 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20140714170327/http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/division-one/1995-1996/table/1995-12-02 14 July 2014 live However, manager Mick McCarthy left to manage Ireland after a 6–0 defeat at Sunderland saw Millwall lose top spot; under his successor, Jimmy Nicholl, Millwall went into freefall with only four more wins all season. A draw on the last day of the season condemned the Lions to relegation.http://www.statto.com/football/teams/millwall/1995-1996 Millwall 1995-1996 Home - statto.com 9 March 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20110811173334/http://www.statto.com/football/teams/millwall/1995-1996 11 August 2011 live Final league table 1995–96 Football League#First Division First Division y MIL Squad Squad at end of seasonhttp://www.millwall-history.org.uk/squad_shots4.htm Millwall Squad Shots 1995 - 1997http://www.11v11.com/teams/millwall/tab/players/season/1996 All Millwall players: 1996 ENG GK Tim Carter USA GK Kasey Keller ENG DF Mark Beard ENG DF Mike Harle ENG DF Gerard Lavin ENG DF Keith Stevens ENG DF Ben Thatcher ENG DF Damien Webber ENG DF Tony Witter NIR DF Anton Rogan RUS DF Vasili Kulkov on loan from Spartak Moscow AUS DF Lucas Neill AUS DF Jason van Blerk ENG MF Mickey Bennett ENG MF Greg Berry ENG MF Bobby Bowry ENG MF Maurice Doyle ENG MF Steve Forbes ENG MF Ricky Newman SCO MF Alex Rae SCO MF Mickey Weir on loan from Hibernian IRL MF Dave Savage ENG FW Richard Cadette ENG FW Kerry Dixon ENG FW Chris Malkin ENG FW Lee McRobert ENG FW Scott Taylor GER FW Uwe Fuchs RUS FW Sergei Yuran USA FW John Kerr GK Dave Wietcha MF Jim Connor Phil O'Neil Left club during season IRL GK Nick Colgan on loan from Chelsea DEN GK Jimmy Nielsen to AaB ENG MF Dale Gordon on loan from West Ham United NIR MF Kingsley Black on loan from Nottingham Forest USA FW John Kerr on loan to Walsall AUS FW Alistair Edwards to Sydney Olympic Transfers https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/te1294/millwall-fc/transfers/ Millwall FC - Transfers 1995/1996 In ENG Mickey Bennett – ENG Charlton Athletic, July ENG Bobby Bowry – ENG Crystal Palace, July AUS Lucas Neill – AUS Australian Institute of Sport, July NIR Anton Rogan – ENG Oxford United, August IRL Nick Colgan – ENG Chelsea, September, loan RUS Vasili Kulkov – RUS Spartak Moscow, January, loan ENG Tim Carter – ENG Oxford United, January SCO Mickey Weir – SCO Hibernian, January, loan RUS Sergei Yuran – RUS Spartak Moscow, January Out ENG Roger Joseph – ENG Wimbledon, June USA John Kerr – ENG Walsall, June, loan AUS Dave Mitchell – Malaysia Selangor, June ENG Andy Roberts – ENG Crystal Palace, July ENG David Oldfield – ENG Luton Town, July AUS Alistair Edwards – AUS Sydney Olympic, January Results First Division 29 August 1995 Reading 1–2 Millwall Gooding Rae Dixon Elm Park W 23 September: Millwall 1–2 Sunderland (Scott pen., Smith); attendance 8,691 1 October: Derby County 2–2 Millwall (Willems, van der Lann; ?); attendance 9,590 22 October: Crystal Palace 1–2 Millwall (Gordon; ?); attendance 14,338 28 October: Millwall 2–1 West Bromwich Albion (?; Hunt); attendance 9,717 18 November: Millwall 0–0 Huddersfield Town; attendance 9,402 9 December: Sunderland 6–0 Millwall (Russell 4, Scott pen., P Gray); attendance 18,951 16 December: Millwall 0–1 Derby County (Sturridge); attendance 7,694 26 December: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1–1 Millwall (Bull; ?); attendance 25,591 4 November: Birmingham City 2–2 Millwall (Castle, Charlery; Dixon, Rae); attendance 23,016 27 January: Millwall 1–1 Portsmouth (Burton); attendance 7,710 10 February 1996 Millwall 1–1 Reading Newman Bowry ? o.g.
