Netflix to Celebrate Millwall Icon in New Documentary – “Blue & White Blood: The Neil Harris Story”
Netflix has confirmed a feature-length documentary honouring Millwall legend Neil Harris — the club’s all-time leading goalscorer and one of the most loved figures in Lions history. The film, titled “Blue & White Blood,” is planned for global release in summer 2026 and promises a powerful emotional journey through Harris’s life, career and legacy at The Den.
A Lion Through and Through
Harris joined Millwall in 1998 and quickly became a fan favourite. Across two spells as a player, he scored 138 career goals for the club, setting a record that remains unbroken.
Years later, he returned as manager and guided Millwall to the Championship, deepening his bond with supporters and cementing his status as a club legend.
Moments That Shaped the Legacy
“Blue & White Blood” revisits defining chapters in Harris’s story, including:
becoming Millwall’s top scorer
battling and overcoming testicular cancer
winning the 2001 League One title
leading the club to the 2017 Championship play-off triumph as manager
his emotional relationship with supporters and the club community
The film features rare footage, interviews with former teammates, club staff, and lifelong Lions fans reflecting on Harris’s influence and character.
More Than Just Goals and Games
Beyond football achievements, the documentary highlights Harris’s resilience, leadership, and unwavering commitment to Millwall’s identity — loyalty, hard work and unity.
Producers describe the project as:
“not only a football story, but a tribute to the spirit of Millwall and the man who carried it.”
A Legacy That Lives at The Den
While there are currently no official plans for a statue or stand dedication, the documentary ends with an emotional final scene inside The Den — empty seats filled with supporters’ scarves, symbolising Harris’s lasting legacy and the love between a club and its hero.
Why This Documentary Matters
At a time when loyalty in football is increasingly rare, Neil Harris represents the values supporters hold dear.
“Blue & White Blood” is intended to resonate with lifelong Lions and new fans alike, offering a reminder that football isn’t just matches — it’s belonging, identity and heart.
