MILLWALL BUSHWACKERS...THE BATTLE OF HIGHBURY (PART ONE)

Before I start, I'm acknowledging the Millwall F-Troop and Bushwacker's as probably the mightiest firm in British football history, as a lot of member's of the Millwall mob are tough as nail's, and are ex-military and ex-navy, I'm not here to throw insult's at Millwall, I'm just here to state event's of our row's with Millwall in the past of what happened, I have massive respect for "Ginger Bob" and Ian "Tiny" Garwood (RIP), but as for James Bannon, you're a prat and a fraud, and I'll speak about that clown James Bannon later.
The battle of highbury featuring the Millwall F-Troop/Bushwacker's, which occurred on january 1988 in a London derby fa cup clash at highbury. Hundred's of Millwall running onto the pitch and exchanging kick's and punches with the Gooner's and the Herd, Millwall did put pressure on us, I'll give them that, but we never backed down, we dished it back the same way they put it on us, this angered the Millwall mob, and all of our pub's were smashed up after the match, but nobody was seriously injured inside the pub's, and no fatalities. During the match, there were two stabbing's on the terrace's, 41 Millwall were arrested, and 24 Arsenal were arrested.
A brief history of Arsenal's hooligan background, we've always had a diverse firm, always had a whole load of big, strong Black and Mixed Race Caribbean boy's in our firm, some of them were even local and domestic level professional boxer's who trained at the islington boxing club, where lifelong Arsenal fan Michael Waston, the former super-middleweight British and Commonwealth Champion started off his boxing career, who fought James Cook, Errol Christie (RIP), Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank and Mike McCallum, a lot of tough boy's of Irish descent were also part of the Arsenal firm, some also boxed at islington boxing club, Turk's, Kurd's, Cypriot's, Greek's were also part of our firm, and their dad's and uncle's owned kebab shop's across islington, a few Asian's were involved in the firm, but the Asian's mainly came from Tower Hamlet's part of east london, from the Brick Lane area, and we had a few English-Italian's in our local community, across islington and other part's of north london that joined in with our mob. The late Sir Henry Cooper (RIP) was also a lifelong Arsenal fan, why do you think he fought Muhammad Ali (RIP) at highbury ???...so any fool who claim's we're soft, then come and challenge us and put us to the test, you'll fail miserably. I'm a big boxing fan too, and our boxing gym's across islington are just as tough as the repton boxing gym, and other boxing gym's across the east end in west ham icf territory, we're just as vicious as west ham icf, and if west ham icf smack us, we'll smack them back just as fucking hard. For those who don't know, you even had small south london Arsenal firm's, such as the Thamesmead mob, a very violent and ruthless mob that hanged out in the wildflower pub in Thamesmead, SE28 on Titmuss Avenue, they had no connection to the Gooner's and the Herd, and they were responsible for the racist murder of Black teenager Rolan Adams (RIP), very similar to the Stephen Lawrence (RIP) murder which happened two mile's down the road in Eltham, SE9. Sometimes the Thamesmead Arsenal firm would come to highbury and away matches and row with other football firm's, mainly from late 70s to early 90s, the Thamesmead Arsenal mob were a really nasty piece of work, but once again, no connection to the Gooner's and the Herd.
It was either in 1993/94 or 1994/95, I can't remember which season, as we played Millwall in back to back season's in the fa cup, the Gooner's and the Herd joined force's, and we took an 800 strong mob to Millwall's New Den, and the two Arsenal firm's clashed Millwall on the silwood estate in south bermondsey, kick's, punches and headbutt's were thrown, between both hooligan firm's, and glass bottle's were thrown at each other, a whole load of riot police special unit van's turned up to break up the fighting, before and after the match, it was total havoc, only God know's how that wasn't even mentioned in the paper's, and on the local and national news on the TV, but cause it's Arsenal, and we stood our ground and put up a fight that's why, but if we let Millwall trample all over us, and put us in hospital, it would've been front page news, and the dickhead media would try to make us (Arsenal) appear to be softies. The match finished a draw, and Millwall had to come to highbury for a replay, unfortunately our beloved Arsenal lost 2-0 at home in the replay, and it all kicked off big time in the highbury field's after full-time, both firm's traded huge, heavy blow's, and weapon's such as glass bottle's, brick's, hammer's, motorcycle chain's, and flick knives were used, total mayhem that night, the fight lasted for over 30 minute's before old bill turned up, both Arsenal and Millwall firm's legged it and escaped before being nicked by the cop's.
