Tomas Soucek laughed off “vicious abuse” from Millwall fans ahead of this weekend’s much-anticipated game against West Ham United.
A Millwall fan spotted the West Ham player in the Soles & Heels store in Millport, London, and confronted him a short distance away.
Despite being in the middle of a busy street and fans not caring who heard him, he nonchalantly yelled at Tomas Soucek that he was “going to chop his fucking face off at The Den next Saturday”.
Soucek responded by laughing at the fan, and the video has been viewed millions of times since being uploaded to social media.

This is the first official meeting between the two sides since West Ham United defeated Millwall 2-1 in the English Championship on February 4, 2012.
It is one of English football’s oldest rivalries and is famous for its high-tension atmosphere, hooliganism and depictions in books and films. Violent clashes between supporters are common.
However, we also saw fans from both clubs coming together to help raise funds for a three-year-old West Ham fan who is suffering from cancer.
But as play resumes, just days before Sunday’s game, tensions have risen.
Here’s the reaction on social media after Tomas Soucek laughed off “vicious abuse” at Millwall fans ahead of the game against West Ham United…
@hammers6623: He’s laughing and he doesn’t care 😂😂😂😂😂
@EssenceOfZam: Tomas Soucek is the nicest guy in the world.
@Epickil43093435: Soucek just laughed at this guy because he knew he wasn’t going to do anything, just like Millwall fans are now talking no bite.
@TheWestHamBuck: Man this made me laugh for no reason what did Soucek do?????????
@WesthamHenry: Their key moment of the season is coming against us. Never seen such a fascinated fanbase. Tomas Soucek has won more games than your entire club and he will go down as your best player ever. Interestingly, he took out his cell phone and shouted at Soucek from the other side of the road.
@jude1177213: How pathetic to give England’s best footballer a death threat
@ClaretBluBlood: Coming off the bench and winning on Saturday is the best way for Soucek. bring it on!
@CalwhuCO: Can’t wait to see Soucek score the winning goal at home to Millwall 🙏
@WestHamTerrace: Imagine doing all this and being laughed at by Soucek😂😂
@Hammers_HQ: How dare he speak to our Soucek like this, scum of the earth 😡
@harryforster18: Why did you threaten a Czech guy with violence?
@uptheh4mmer5: So you’re just a few feet away from him, what are you going to do to him if you see him on Saturday and he laughs at you. Correct👍🏻
@bazman1975: Look at the difference, any player can walk by you on the street and you have no clue ⚒️
@MrMarkCorner: I don’t know why Millwall give themselves such a bad reputation🤷🏻♂️Absolutely****! ! !
@KevinMorga3458: Imagine if Tom walked towards him, how fast he would run
@WestHam_Central: BTW, this is so embarrassing. Bet this old man’s legs are broken as soon as he stops recording.
@Ad4mM00rby: Soucek played in Prague for 6 years and I doubt Millwall scared him during their derby 😅😅
@westhamtransfer: Saying this while zooming in on my iPhone to max and Soucek just laughing at him 😂 makes me shiver.
@J1993Whu: If he’s just shouting about Millwall but actually threatening Soucek that’s crazy, even if it’s just a “joke” I can respect that
@maxtomo01: Try it the other way around and no West Ham fan will recognize a Millwall player 😂
@robpatterson24: Oh. I bet he thinks he’s strong. I’m sure Soucek wet himself with laughter 😂😂
@KeatonFisher19: Souceks makes him look cool 😂
@HeelNickPayne: The difference is he supports Millwall. Know who Soucek is. I support West Ham United. Couldn’t pick out a Millwall player from the squad, let alone film myself playing them on the street 😂
@markmcintosh82: I hope our boys see this and put on a show like Wrexham did ⚒️
@Teariki_05: Funny thing is, you can cross the street and say this to him instead of hiding across the street recording him with 6x zoom. What a sad meltdown.
@Karma_Cop52: In what way does this fan think (think is probably the best word) this will help his team? Or help yourself at the end of the day? You won’t do that. It was nonsense, it was disgusting, and someone caught him and filmed it. Parasitic behavior. How someone could become like this baffles me.
@Nowfootball: Just a Millwall fan telling Tomas Soucek that he “will chop his fucking face off in the stadium next Saturday” and Soucek just laughed at him 😂😂😂 Embarrassing Millwall fan…
