The two teams, then known as Millwall Athletic and Thames Ironworks, first met in 1899. They both originated in the East End of London, and were located less than three miles apart from each other.
The match was historically known as the Dockers derby, as both sets of supporters were predominantly dockers at shipyards on either side of the River Thames.
And over the past 120 odd years, the rivalry between West Ham and Millwall has increased in animosity and ferocity.

West Ham fans will love what Burnley supporters did at Millwall
Millwall and Burnley saw out a 1-1 draw in the Championship on Tuesday night.
The game was fairly nondescript, but something brilliant happened that the Hammers fans would have really appreciated.
The Burnley fans were caught on camera singing our famous Bubbles anthem in the direction of the home supporters at the New Den:
How good is that to see from the Burnley fans!
West Ham haven’t actually played Millwall since 2012, but it is looking likely that we could be in the same league as them next season one way or the other.
They are currently flying high in the Championship play-off spots whilst we are struggling in the relegation zone in the Premier League table.
Knowing our luck, they will come up and we’ll go down! It would be so typically West Ham wouldn’t it!
