by Maloney tells her story in Knock Out Blonde – the authorized documentary by Kellie Maloney, now available to stream on digital platforms.
She is a lifelong Millwall fan but also holds a season ticket for Portuguese club SC Farense, who are based near her home in Portugal.
“I follow two teams,” Maloney told BBC Sport. “Millwall because they have been my team since I was three years old and Farense because I spend a lot of time at my house in the Algarve.”
“Unfortunately Farense are bottom of the table at the moment, although we got our first win of the season before the international break – the winner came with the last kick of the game and it was like winning the World Cup.”
“We don’t win many games, but we probably have the second best goalkeeper in the Portuguese league, Ricardo Velho, who was last in the Portuguese squad. He was only on the bench because Porto’s Diogo Costa is their number one, but it was the first time in the club’s 114-year history that a Farense player was called up by Portugal.
“And everyone should be wary of our former players like Mohamed Belloumi, who moved to Hull for €5.5 million in August. This is the highest transfer fee Farense have ever received for a player and he recently scored a couple of goals against Cardiff.”
“Before he left I sent a message to Mark Bright, the ambassador at Crystal Palace, and also to Millwall saying that they should come and look at this boy because he has only just turned 22 and will be soon will soon be worth a fortune.
