Maloney tells her story in ‘Knock Out Whitewashed – The Approved Kellie Maloney Documentary’, which is now available on virtual platforms.
She is a lifelong Millwall fan, but is also a season ticket holder with Portuguese team 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 club in the Algarve.
“Unfortunately, Farense are last in the league at the moment, although we got our first win of the season before the international break – the winner came in the last kick of the match and it was like winning the World Cup.
“We don’t win many games, but we certainly have the second best goalkeeper in the Portuguese league, Ricardo Velho, who was in the new Portugal squad. That’s why he was the simplest on the bench. Porto’s Diogo Costa is their number one , but it used to be the first date in the club’s 114-year history in which a Farense player had been called up by Portugal.
“And everyone should be wary of our former players like Mohamed Belloumi, who left to join Hull for €5.5m in August. It is the highest fee Farense has ever received for a player, and he recently scored a couple of goals against Cardiff.
“Before he left, I sent a message to Mark Dazzling, who is an envoy at Crystal Palace, and also to Millwall saying they would have to come and see this kid, because he’s just grown up. “He’s 22 and he’s going to be making a fortune soon. “.
