Which Dragon became chairman of Millwall Football Club in 1997?

Theo Paphitis became chairman of Millwall Football Club in 1997.

Paphitis took the chairmanship during a period when Millwall was seeking stronger financial and organisational stability. His involvement connected his public profile as a retailer and entrepreneur with English football, where club ownership and chairmanship often attract substantial attention.

He remained associated with Millwall until 2009. During that period, the club moved from The Den into a new era of investment and competitive change, although football results and ownership developments involved many people beyond the chairman.

This fact is sometimes attributed to another Dragon because several panel members have owned or backed sports-related businesses. Paphitis, however, is the Dragon specifically linked with the chairmanship of Millwall. His retail career included Ryman and other consumer brands, while football was a separate part of his business life.
