Millwall Football Club and Millwall Community Trust are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Football Development Manager Tim Sells, at the age of 47.
Since joining the Millwall Community Trust in 2021, Tim played a pivotal role in expanding the department into the leading sports provider across Lewisham and Southwark. His unwavering passion for nurturing both players and people shone through in every aspect of his work. In a 2023 radio interview, Tim reflected on his role, saying: “I feel very fortunate to do the job I do. I see first-hand the impact our work has on the kids in the local community. I feel very blessed to do this role.”
Sean Daly, CEO of Millwall Community Trust, paid tribute to Tim: “We are all devastated by the sudden loss of our friend and colleague, Tim.
“His kind-hearted nature touched everything he did. He was driven by a genuine desire to help others and make a positive impact.
“Regardless of background or circumstance, Tim always looked for ways to support others in reaching their goals. His warmth, generosity, and spirit will never be forgotten. He will be profoundly missed.”
Everyone at Millwall Football Club and the Millwall Community Trust extends their heartfelt condolences to Tim’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. He is survived by his wife, Lisa, and their two children.
Rest in peace, Tim.
