The image appeared in a children's anti-racism booklet distributed in primary schools in the local area about the life of former footballer Paul Canoville, who was the first black player to play for Chelsea.

It shows a cartoon figure wearing a white hood and robes, which is typically associated with the white supremacist group, with the outfit also bearing Millwall's crest.

Makes sense, I assume the club shop owns the rights to this outfit and it's being sued for copyright infringement?

Frascogna added the illustration does depict a real incident Canoville experienced when 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".

So... they did that shit? Millwall should shut the fuck up and stop whinging about being dragged for their club's historical racism.
