whats going on here with his comment is just a reflection of self being projected instead of owned you have to understand that Football Hooligans are narcisist their disordered people who are deeply in pain they just deny and projected their own aspects of self
I was there. This is basically true. a few Millwall were in the North Bank. Declared their presence and after a brief scuffle were ejected by Police. No big deal, they did this everywhere. It was a Millwall thing. I was at the Clock end. It was seriously overcrowded and had to get on the pitch with lots of others due to crushing
Bollox from beginning to end. If it was the FA Cup tie at Highbury, I was at that match on the North Bank with my old man. Millwall was there for about 20 seconds before the old bill took them out down the front. I can’t remember any punches, and as a kid I used to like seeing a row. This geezer should try getting a job on Jackonory .
I attended two of the only four games at Millwall ever played at Arsenal and don't recall any infiltration of Millwall fans on the North Bank. I think he's just making it up
I think everybody's taking his statement too literally. Not every football supporter was a hooligan so in reality they only took on the 50 in the crowd that were.
There would be a lot more than 50 in any home end that would have a go and you'd have people that wouldn't normally get involved . Your talking hundreds , they would get destroyed.
@@johnhoward6509 I guess it depends on whether the stewards/cops got involved or not. A few seasons ago a small group of Liverpool fans got into the Stretford End. As the ends are now all seated and the Liverpool lads were in the front row only a small number of home fans could get at them. Very luckily for them the stewards came along and escorted them outside before they got to badly beaten. Without stewards, there would have been deaths!
There would be but not in an organised fashion. Sneaking into the middle of a stand doesn’t mean the 100 people around you are all ready for a fight. The people really up for it would have to make their way through it would be chaos. Even pictures of it you can see most people just looking around! Clowns 🤡 😂😂

Why don't Arsenal fans ever boast about their firms exploits like most of the other clubs? They did galatasaray who everybody said were top boys and never seemed too concerned about Millwall or West Ham.
Gooners were never seen as a serious firm. Turned up at Stoke a few years back. Made a stand in two locations. Got battered like a chip shop cod in both. Arsenal are the worst firm in London. I've seen harder custard on apple pie.

I went all the millwall arsenal games nothing like that happened only when millwall came and won a replay in the mid 90s and millwall fighting each other in the clock end 😂
Same fella who was on some documentary with his pals a short period before millwal played Newcastle in a league Cup match early 80s so everyone knew who he was what a pasting those Millwall lads got that night
millwall weren't actually all that to be honest,they came to coventry in the 90's and a coachful found a nice pub near to highfield road,the vauxhall tavern..the problem was that the vaux's clientel were mainly jamaican pimps pushers and their hangers on..lets just say most didn't ,make the game...now coventry have never had a notorious footy firm but its always been a rough place to live,some of them decided to stat over in coventry only to get trouble at every pub they went in..in effect they got ran out of town..following city home and away alot in my younger years i hated mobs like oxford or leicester..horrrible away days
Remember the pub well ,one of my uncles drank in there and another uncle ran it for a while .Hillfields was a rough area with rough pubs like the Brewer Baker ,the Ivy Cottage and the Freemasons .

He went up tit norf when he was a teen and chased Duffy, cockerill and sykes but they all got themselves put in an adult prison so he couldn't get at them !!
I remember in the 80s one tottenham supporter done the same thing at Tannadice at dundee utd in the legend goalkeeper hamish macalpines testimonial The spurs supporter tried fisty cuffs in the shed end ( home support at that time) nobody wanted this at Hamish's game. I was thrilled to see Glen hoddle & co up here but as it turned the thug kept all the aggression up & took a kicking in the end. Spoiled a great game which ended one each I recall. I think this "supporter " got lifted in the end & sectioned under the mental health act. Pretty sad.
It's true mate, I was one of the 15, knocked 7000 out on my own whilst the other 14 lads chinned the other 1000 left overs. As we walked away there was a pile of 8000 bodies all unconscious. Surprised it wasn't on the news to be fair?
Cockneys get carried away watching all of the films that have been made about Cockney hooligans. Eddie Murphy had a stand up routine back in the '80s, about how Italians started getting carried away after watching the 'Rocky' films.
Reminds me of the 1970s documentary on hooliganism. A plummy-voiced BBC-type narrating. "Here we see "Harry the Dog" attempting to "take" the Bristol Rovers end"... Cue film of notorious Millwall nutter Harry the Dog wading-in like a lunatic, completely solo, with "civilian" Rovers fans scattering on a lightly-populated section of terracing at Eastville. Rovers had some hard bastards back then, so I'd imagine the outcome wasn't pleasant for Harry, unless reinforcements arrived quickly.
Did you see the men from West Ham and Millwall got togeather to raise money for a little kid with cancer,watch it on RUclips the ring announcer was shouting on the mic sit down and stop fighting,the fighter's in the ring,were watching the crowd fighting.raised a few quid for the kids treatment tho,bless em☮️
@@johnnygiro5261 one was a British title fight on BT sport and the big story about raising money from a Millwall fan who wore a West Ham shirt! Tbf there could well be another one which I've somehow not seen or someone's just posted it with a made up title 🤷🏻♂️

The honey badger of the football violence world,when Millwall football club start winning things thier football fans will stop going berserk everytime they see other football fans 😅
This game was back in the mid to late 80’s I was there at an Arsenal v Millwall game and I’m a Yid lol I saw a small group of Millwall march in the North bank and kicked off straight away
God all the sad idiots talking trash about us, guys who would have been too terrified to do what working class men have done for centuries when two groups of young men from different places meet, WE fight no killing (on purpose) rules that 90% of the time were followed I.e no weapons no taking liberties when someone is down no attacking anyone with a lady and no attacking shirters (normal fans) yes these rules were broke from time to time especially when hate was involved like us playing West Ham, but otherwise it was fun. I did it for 10 yrs following millwall everywhere, the mates who you mostly only met on match day were as loyal as you could ever find, we at millwall only got on average crowds of between 3 to 5k at home during the 80s yet had a good 250 lads which if you compared to a Chelsea or Man Utd would be if they had 40k home crowds an average of at least 2k lads so we are a tiny club yet were one of Britain’s top hooligan firms, We were rated by others as such because we stood together always you would never run and leave your mates as many people will say from other firms, we lost some but won most everyone loses some times, I don’t care what you or any other soft spoilt kids or men say because this was 35 to 40 yrs ago they days are gone we grew up stopped the fighting and matured had families but never will I regret it they were the best days of my youth, and if you had the guts to do it you would 100% agree, now the middle class and upper middle are taking over our game pricing normal fans out.
Embarrassing that this old man sounds almost proud of his antics. These people shouldn’t even be given a platform to talk about their sub-human behaviour. It’s a game of football ffs you ain’t on the battlefields in a war zone
Andy Nicholls in his book ‘Scally’ recalls when elements of the Millwall F’ troop made their presence known in the Gwlady’s street end of Goodison Park, the home of the supporters of Everton FC. The shout of ‘We are Millwall’ went up and the fists flew, they where game but had bitten off more than they could chew, soon they found themselves on a hiding to nothing and with their backs towards the wall and the pitch they turned, the wise ones hauled themselves up and over onto the pitch and made their escape others kept on fighting a losing battle. He recalled one Millwall supporter turn to climb the wall and that’s when the meat hook went into his back, drawing him back in…football hooliganism and pride where a part of the times, as graphic as it may seem.
I agree - I’m a council estate kid who followed my team in the 80’s - I got stuck in as a matter of honour- I’m now an academic who attends posh dinner parties- we discuss aesthetics , film , books etc but non of my guests ever understand when I describe the sheer adrenaline of old school football aggro - but they are exhilarated by my tales of fisticuffs with the odd homemade Kung foo star thrown in for good measure
My friend, I don't care about the title but Jesus has nothing to do with it. Idk you beliefs and please no offense. Did you ever notice the ONE AND ONLY NAME USED IN ANGER IS GOD & JESUS CHRIST. It's blasphemous to just throw their names around. Again friend I mean no harm or offense. If I didn't care I wouldn't have said anything to you. Enjoy your day/night. God bless 👑🙏🏻🕊👍🏻💛
Love to hear the "old school". Can remember Leeds coachload going in the Stretford end back in the day.. Most good firms did similar things.Had a few "offs" myself back in the day.Old bill generally won though. M.O.T.

I was actually at that game as a 12 year old in 1988 I think,yes in the bottom right corner of the north bank the home end, there were Millwall I remember a huge explosion then it kicked off,don't forget it was a different era and people,it was a dark cloudy 3pm and an evil atmosphere waking to the ground,Millwall jumping over the home end turnstiles,arsenal evened things up with them on Highbury fields after the game as they were at their peak around that time,different era
Interesting. All fighting for nothing in the end based off the movies I watched on these situations. This is what happens when the tribe is too big. The lower class tribe fight each other out of boredom and the upper class part of the tribe live in lots of space and lots to do. The thing is with monarchy countries, youll always be a second class citizen compared to the royals... and elites.
Gone are the days of English hooligans. The powers at he cannot allow such strength in numbers. It was too much of a force. Now it’s the prawn sandwich brigade
I just don't get the mentality of football hooligans, I don't actually think there is a mentality, or a thought or an idea. It is literally the bottom end of the gene pool. A backward primal thing. It's never about the football. I witnessed it at a game back in the early 90s between Middlesborough and Sunderland. My mates are big Sunderland fans, I went for the experience, the minute we got off our minibus and walked towards the away end we were attacked by a couple of hundred Middlesborough fans. We ran for our lives, my mate tripped over and lost his glasses, I ran back for him and just grabbed his arm and legged it with the others. The worst thing I saw was a dad running with his young son on his shoulders, he got jumped by three guys and they battered him even with the kid there. I haven't felt fear like that before or since. It was just mindless violence for no other reason than these guys getting an adrenaline high.
@@Boomshanker484 I'm not a soft arse liberal snowflake, far from it. I just don't get that kind of thinking. It's a total waste of energy, I'd be embarrassed having to tell someone outside of that circle that I did that on a weekly basis.
I assume he's talking about an FA Cup match at Highbury in the late eighties. I was in the Clock End (away end) and saw the Millwall mob surging down the terrace at the other end. It was spectacular and there was a lot more than fifteen of them - at least a hundred if my memory serves me right. They then walked along the edge of the pitch up to the Clock End and jumped over the barriers onto the terrace. The old bill then made the massive mistake of coming mob handed into the thousands of Millwall fans to make arrests and got absolutely battered. They ended up having to retreat, minus their helmets and covered in boot prints and blood. They were lucky none of them got seriously injured. I was at the front of the terrace, not doing anything wrong, and a copper on the pitch tried to grab me so I punched him hard in the face. And there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. 😁
@Robert Exley You must have been looking the other way. It was in the left-hand corner as you look from the Clock End. If you were in the middle somewhere, you might not have been able to see it but I don't know how you could have missed them all walking along the pitch.
And ???? That makes them what hard lol 😂 Put just one in the ring or cage against an amateur boxer kick-boxer or mma fighter and we will see how tough they are then 🤦🏼
Yeah but at football in England you havent really got to fight, just run a few steps throw a chair aaaand retreat!.........unlike in Eastern Europe or as you say in a cage.
this story is from decades ago...arsenal had a massive and well respected firm. Millwall back then were another level of psychotic, this was the trademark enterance. Go into the home end, sing, fight onto the pitch. i've e heard the exact same story from so many different sets of 1970s fans about Millwall.
@@AnimatedStorytime881 arsenal ain't had a firm since 1970 terry steele, sainty mostly from East London and s e London nothing from North apart from bootsy and the Armstrong twins I know i saw
There's a reference to that in the film. Gary and John are the only two to stand their ground, they're seriously outnumbered and still come out of it covered in blood that's not their own and without a scratch. Brings me back to my own casual/hooligan days that I seriously miss and don't at the same time.

Harry the Dog was an Imperial Japanese Navy Kamikaze pilot who was reincarnated and reborn in South East London.
@@misdangered4326 😀
Same fella who was on some documentary with his pals a short period before millwal played Newcastle in a league Cup match early 80s so everyone knew who he was what a pasting those Millwall lads got that night
He died an alcoholic in the 80s.
millwall weren't actually all that to be honest,they came to coventry in the 90's and a coachful found a nice pub near to highfield road,the vauxhall tavern..the problem was that the vaux's clientel were mainly jamaican pimps pushers and their hangers on..lets just say most didn't ,make the game...now coventry have never had a notorious footy firm but its always been a rough place to live,some of them decided to stat over in coventry only to get trouble at every pub they went in..in effect they got ran out of town..following city home and away alot in my younger years i hated mobs like oxford or leicester..horrrible away days
Remember the pub well ,one of my uncles drank in there and another uncle ran it for a while .Hillfields was a rough area with rough pubs like the Brewer Baker ,the Ivy Cottage and the Freemasons .

Millwall is a top club.
I remember in the 80s one tottenham supporter done the same thing at Tannadice at dundee utd in the legend goalkeeper hamish macalpines testimonial
The spurs supporter tried fisty cuffs in the shed end ( home support at that time) nobody wanted this at Hamish's game.
I was thrilled to see Glen hoddle & co up here but as it turned the thug kept all the aggression up & took a kicking in the end.
Spoiled a great game which ended one each I recall.
I think this "supporter " got lifted in the end & sectioned under the mental health act.
Pretty sad.
That's what following a bunch of losers like spurs can do to a man..
Anyone going to Tannadice to watch fitba should be sectioned 😂🏴

You know that never said so much tosh 😂 been watching Zulu too much
It's true mate, I was one of the 15, knocked 7000 out on my own whilst the other 14 lads chinned the other 1000 left overs.
As we walked away there was a pile of 8000 bodies all unconscious.
Surprised it wasn't on the news to be fair?
Cockneys get carried away watching all of the films that have been made about Cockney hooligans. Eddie Murphy had a stand up routine back in the '80s, about how Italians started getting carried away after watching the 'Rocky' films.
@@bubz3t136 northerners just get sparked out
Reminds me of the 1970s documentary on hooliganism. A plummy-voiced BBC-type narrating. "Here we see "Harry the Dog" attempting to "take" the Bristol Rovers end"... Cue film of notorious Millwall nutter Harry the Dog wading-in like a lunatic, completely solo, with "civilian" Rovers fans scattering on a lightly-populated section of terracing at Eastville. Rovers had some hard bastards back then, so I'd imagine the outcome wasn't pleasant for Harry, unless reinforcements arrived quickly.
"The sergeant, " ffs!😂... yeh mate!!
Did you see the men from West Ham and Millwall got togeather to raise money for a little kid with cancer,watch it on RUclips the ring announcer was shouting on the mic sit down and stop fighting,the fighter's in the ring,were watching the crowd fighting.raised a few quid for the kids treatment tho,bless em☮️

Doing what. Most are thick as sh*t. Look at Leach, Marriner and Pennant.
Bet it was the best few minutes of his life😂😂😂
Sad but probably true
This game was back in the mid to late 80’s I was there at an Arsenal v Millwall game and I’m a Yid lol I saw a small group of Millwall march in the North bank and kicked off straight away
and then he woke up, 8 thousand onto 15 what a load of bollocks.
God all the sad idiots talking trash about us, guys who would have been too terrified to do what working class men have done for centuries when two groups of young men from different places meet,
WE fight no killing (on purpose) rules that 90% of the time were followed I.e no weapons no taking liberties when someone is down no attacking anyone with a lady and no attacking shirters (normal fans)
yes these rules were broke from time to time especially when hate was involved like us playing West Ham, but otherwise it was fun.
I did it for 10 yrs following millwall everywhere, the mates who you mostly only met on match day were as loyal as you could ever find,
we at millwall only got on average crowds of between 3 to 5k at home during the 80s yet had a good 250 lads which if you compared to a Chelsea or Man Utd would be if they had 40k home crowds an average of at least 2k lads so we are a tiny club yet were one of Britain’s top hooligan firms,
We were rated by others as such because we stood together always you would never run and leave your mates as many people will say from other firms,
we lost some but won most everyone loses some times, I don’t care what you or any other soft spoilt kids or men say because this was 35 to 40 yrs ago they days are gone we grew up stopped the fighting and matured had families but never will I regret it they were the best days of my youth, and if you had the guts to do it you would 100% agree, now the middle class and upper middle are taking over our game pricing normal fans out.

Andy Nicholls in his book ‘Scally’ recalls when elements of the Millwall F’ troop made their presence known in the Gwlady’s street end of Goodison Park, the home of the supporters of Everton FC. The shout of ‘We are Millwall’ went up and the fists flew, they where game but had bitten off more than they could chew, soon they found themselves on a hiding to nothing and with their backs towards the wall and the pitch they turned, the wise ones hauled themselves up and over onto the pitch and made their escape others kept on fighting a losing battle. He recalled one Millwall supporter turn to climb the wall and that’s when the meat hook went into his back, drawing him back in…football hooliganism and pride where a part of the times, as graphic as it may seem.
At least Millwall didn't use weapons that day, not like the dirty scousers. So brave!
One ended up in Walton hospital I think his lung was punctured what ever possessed millwall to think that they could take Everton's gwladis street

This is BS. 15 Millwall would of got mullerd proper against 7 thousand Arsenal. The numbers are very very over exaggerated.
theres not much gets past you david
Only a few people can actually hit you in these situations. I found that out doing security at a festival, so it's not like it seems
15 is an exaggeration, 5 millwall is usually enough to run the gunners
I was actually at that game as a 12 year old in 1988 I think,yes in the bottom right corner of the north bank the home end, there were Millwall I remember a huge explosion then it kicked off,don't forget it was a different era and people,it was a dark cloudy 3pm and an evil atmosphere waking to the ground,Millwall jumping over the home end turnstiles,arsenal evened things up with them on Highbury fields after the game as they were at their peak around that time,different era
Your right there was only 10 Millwall 😂
What an absolute child.

I just don't get the mentality of football hooligans, I don't actually think there is a mentality, or a thought or an idea. It is literally the bottom end of the gene pool. A backward primal thing. It's never about the football. I witnessed it at a game back in the early 90s between Middlesborough and Sunderland. My mates are big Sunderland fans, I went for the experience, the minute we got off our minibus and walked towards the away end we were attacked by a couple of hundred Middlesborough fans. We ran for our lives, my mate tripped over and lost his glasses, I ran back for him and just grabbed his arm and legged it with the others. The worst thing I saw was a dad running with his young son on his shoulders, he got jumped by three guys and they battered him even with the kid there. I haven't felt fear like that before or since. It was just mindless violence for no other reason than these guys getting an adrenaline high.

I assume he's talking about an FA Cup match at Highbury in the late eighties. I was in the Clock End (away end) and saw the Millwall mob surging down the terrace at the other end. It was spectacular and there was a lot more than fifteen of them - at least a hundred if my memory serves me right. They then walked along the edge of the pitch up to the Clock End and jumped over the barriers onto the terrace. The old bill then made the massive mistake of coming mob handed into the thousands of Millwall fans to make arrests and got absolutely battered. They ended up having to retreat, minus their helmets and covered in boot prints and blood. They were lucky none of them got seriously injured. I was at the front of the terrace, not doing anything wrong, and a copper on the pitch tried to grab me so I punched him hard in the face. And there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. 😁
Big man

I was on the North Bank and no such thing happened. All the bother was at the Clock End
@Robert Exley You must have been looking the other way. It was in the left-hand corner as you look from the Clock End. If you were in the middle somewhere, you might not have been able to see it but I don't know how you could have missed them all walking along the pitch.
Ooooh so proud of you. Did you have your stone island blouse on to look extra hard?

That makes them what hard lol 😂
Put just one in the ring or cage against an amateur boxer kick-boxer or mma fighter and we will see how tough they are then 🤦🏼
