As a Wolves fan during the 70’s I understand these battles I used to go to away matches back then got rocks thrown at us getting back to the coach, you used to run for your lives but I would never go to the Den wasn’t brave enough
Am I right in believing that no Nobel Prizes were awarded for this encounter.
...however, they did hand me a "2.1" Degree @ Gonville & Caius @ Cambridge though in Mathematics in 1976.
What were they thinking,I wonder on my 70th birthday :)
Millwallllllllllllll
You dont get a 2.1 for spelling your name vorrectly.
@@frflinstone So, the first rule of criticizing, let alone criticizing, sarcastically, is to be correct, otherwise you embarrass yourself and look foolish so, in what way is there an
incorrect spelling?
I assume that there will now be a deafening silence as you realize your error and shuffle away, head lowered, with your tale between your legs...
Was there that day, only 15 years of age! The Millwall mob had knives, and my arse was going to be honest. The police bottled it big time! One of the lads had a knock on the head that day and lost his life! Rest in peace, Robbie M! To be honest, Swansea had a good go! Severely out numbered, we did split and panic, but initially, we made a good show of ourselves until the knives came out. I dont know about you, but I think the majority of fans would be off on their toes at the sight of a very large mob waving knives around freely! Whilst the old bill disappeared out of site!
Remember 2001 when Millwall came down to the vetch that was carnage us Swansea were on top form that day that’s for sure always have good run ins with millwall even few weeks ago
Cue the Cardiff fans to say it didn't happen, despite not being there
my mate Robbie Mathews died after this run in he was only 18 rip Robbie
R.I.P, God bless you Robbie.
No one should die over football. Rest in peace Robbie from a Millwall fan.
Robbie will always be remembered
That should never happen. As a life long lion I feel sick knowing this. May your mate RIP God bless !!!
I was there that day and arrived a little late, as did they. There were about 50 of them not 100. Most of them were skinheads and I walked up with them to the back of the cold blow lane end. They were recognised immediately as they were mostly skinheads. They didn't put up a fight. They were punched and kicked all the way to the front of the stand. They climbed the fence to get on the pitch but that was not the end of their ordeal. As they were walking to the away end they were attacked by the millwall lot in the seats and worse was to come. The bushwhackers were in the Ilderton to give them more punishment. Sadly a swansea fan died that day. Were they brave or stupid? In my opinion they were stupid.
They weren't skinheads, stop the bullshit
@ 1-35....''sheer AUDACITY of it all!'' 🤣🤣🤣 Creased me up!
thing about the swansea hoolis, they might not be big but they will go for it
🤣🤣🤣🤣
100 boys on a good day, no runners, better than 400 boys like linford christie, you run, you have a kicking on the way home, and could never show your face again. Mostly only one coach, really tight bunch of lads, who had your back. But that was 40 years ago. No firm name bollocks. just known by the pub they drank in.
Swansea old school could have it. Highly underrated back in the day and this is from old school Millwall fan.
@@coniferclose I'm a swansea away supporter on a bn, still to this day swans and the lions will have it off. respect
@@conifercloseRespect!
Im glad these pathetic days are mainly over.
Only thing pathetic is your childish comment.
Is that why you are watching this. pathetic.
🤫
I tell you what happened next Billy Roffey scores a worldy on his Luins Debut! Was there! The Colonel Gaddafis got roostered 😂
Remember going to Swansea with Chelsea when they would have been promoted if they won the game. So many Chelsea fans turned up they forced their way in through a door., police had to move fans into the area left empty to keep fans apart as it got so packed. A few scuffles broke out and some Chelsea fans were taken away by police. When going home on train, first couple of stops as soon as pulling away up popped Swansea fans throwing rocks at the train, next stop some Chelsea got off, not sure what happened
I think those 100 Swansea fans thought it was Rorkes Drift.
So far from the truth it's unbelievable
Rarely, both sides told the same story...
so far from interesting it's unwatchable
What do you know about the day then? Were you there?
Mark Thomas………..get back to school.
Went to Swansea early70s when they were town not city 36of us on a 29 seater it was abit scary but was 16 ish and pissed and mental then,went to work ther in 89on jersey marine drive,ford axle plant with quite a few locals and had a fkin great time ,so friendly even tho we had a crew from Yorkshire there so love to Swansea from bfd a great summer for me and fkin good pay and sunshine caswell bay and the like
when i go up to yorkshire as a swansea lad, they like my accent, tidy people up there
Should have started with
Once Upon a time
100, not really enough to do much damage
JACKANORY
Bull shit never happened, this guy is terrible
Blues went there and done the job
The Jack's were very game. KRO
Did Newcastle not take the cold blow lane end August 1978.
No they never did. They were probably the only northern club to bring mass support to the den. But they were always in the Ilderton Road end.
😂😂😂😂😂
John blackshaw. Just another person who knows nothing.
Only Leeds & bristol city ever took libs at the old den.........
I was at the OD ref Bristol City game. Any honest Millwall fan will respect Bristol City who had a good firm in the 80s and 90s. Under rated club by most. Banning orders and prison killed it though. Football is different nowadays.
Rubbish, Harry Cripps testimonial was a bloodbath, and that was West Ham, not trainwreckers Leeds and Bristol,( we got run out of a pub by a landlady, whilst picking on two lads on there own) City.
Leeds never took liberties at the old den. Bristol City did by arriving late and keying up the cars in the Ilderton Road car park. Nothing brave in that. Still they paid the price for it.
Respect to Swansea, Bristol City & Pompey. Came looking.
Leeds have never turned up at Millwall looking for it. Bristol will always have a go but as for taking liberties…….I don’t think so.
You need to be able to fight in Wales,those sheep are vicious when you bother them
Fuck the Sheep
Miwaa is all bollox when its man to man so one man from Barnsley knock 3 Miwaa idiots out while looking after his young son at Wembley.
Did you see that. Millwall never attack fans especially if they have children with them. If what you're saying is true any Millwall hooligans would have knocked the idiots out first.
saw that on you tube... it was the play off final.. he knocked one down all the seats!!
Knuckle draggers. They won the match that day,,,,that's all
I was at that game. It was around 100 cockney Reds who charged the Millwall pikeys, they joined allegiance with the Swansea that day and Millwall got battered 💯👊
ill search this story in skinhead to stone island
I was there as my dad was Welsh but I'm spurs let me tell you Swansea came in and I didn't see these man utd but Swansea got battered they where asking the police for help because they got caved in
The Cockney reds couldn"t fight themselves, lol. BHAFC.
That's nearly as many Manure who turned up in the mid-70s to see United play Millwall. They took 10,000 regularly but to Millwall.........180..........LOL
Absolute bullshit, we were one coach, got to the ground late and we went on their bank, no one else with us.
Millwall laid into us, we got broken up with some climbing the fencing.
A mate of mine and myself tried to walk around the backof the stand to try to get to the away end but 30 Millwall sitting in the stand saw us and some of them had blades and were going to use them, two plod who were there bottled it and legged it and shut the doors of the part of the stand they were in leaving the two if us stranded.
One old man, a club steward ripped into the Millwal, slagging them off for needing to pull out blades for the 30 of them to fight the two of us
He probably saved our lives.
They went in the wrong end by mistake got a slap never stormed anything you sie
Was no mistake, we went on there deliberately
And paid the price. Bravo
@@johnedwards2477Too right👍
I remember going away in the 70’s with Buller , Tracey and all the boys.
Great days mate. 🦢
@@laurapartridge4449 its showing the jacks are game and will have it off, win or lose its a way of saying swansea are no push over
What a bunch of dreamers- all talk -utter bollox
