Ian Holloway slams Millwall fans for Jimmy Savile chants

Ian Holloway says that some of Millwall's fans were "an absolute disgrace" for chanting about Jimmy Savile during their Championship match against Leeds United.

Millwall manager Ian Holloway has said that his club's supporters were disrespectful for their chants about Jimmy Savile during Saturday's Championship match against Leeds United.

Holloway was left infuriated that members of the crowd sung about the disgraced entertainer because he came from Leeds.

"I didn't like the banter to be honest. I don't think it was respectful, I really don't," the Daily Mail quotes Holloway as saying. "I don't think [Savile chants] are right. I don't care where he is from — that [Savile's actions] is an absolute disgrace.

"Let's stop and think about what he has actually done. That's the most important thing and we don't see that. Oh, it is a bit of banter. It isn't funny, is it? I don't think so. Nobody likes a laugh more than me but I'm respectful — and that's what I'm trying to show to Leeds United. Until we make a stand the world ain't right.

"How often do we turn a blind eye to things? I want to look after our people. Some of the stewards aren't as big as me. Why can't people in the stand say, "Chuck this guy out?" Coming into a ground doesn't give you the right to say those things."

Mark Beevers and Shaun Williams scored for Millwall as they started their Championship season with a 2-0 win over Leeds at The Den.
