NIR Jimmy Nicholl (from 28 February) During the 1995–96 English football season, Millwall F.C. competed in the Football League First Division, the second tier of English football.

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. 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.
