Theo Paphitis was also a former owner of Millwall Football Club.
Paphitis became associated with Millwall through his ownership of the south London football club. His tenure was part of a broader business career that included retail, property and investment activities, before and alongside his television work.
He was one of the original Dragons on the British version of Dragon's Den. That combination of retail entrepreneurship and football ownership made him a distinctive public figure, although his television role concerned evaluating business pitches rather than football management.
A common error is to attribute Millwall ownership to another business personality who appeared in British sports media. The relevant Dragon is Theo Paphitis, who is also known for building retail brands such as La Senza and for supporting small businesses through later commercial projects.
