Millwall’s owner and chairman John Berylson died after his car overturned and hit a tree in the US, it has emerged. The American businessman was driving his Range Rover alone in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, when it left the road and rolled into a ravine.
‘I feel so desperately sad for John’s family and our thoughts and prayers are with them at what is just such a devastatingly cruel time.’Millwall’s squad will remain in Spain for pre-season preparations, but will pay their respects to the late chairman at The DenMillwall manager Gary Rowett said: ‘He would always ring me after games, he’d ring me a couple of times in the week just to ask how things were going.
‘The skill that John had was incredible, he’d always try to make you feel better if you’d lost a game or something had happened. ‘He’d always try to support and make it feel like there was a way out of it, there was a route out of it and there was a strategy to move forward. That showed his compassion, that showed his love for the club.
‘It’s so difficult to comprehend, for me certainly, Millwall without John Berylson, because he was the figurehead, he was the inspiration and just a tremendous, tremendous owner and chairman.’
