Fascinating stuff. As a West ham fan I know I'm supposed to hate millwall, but I have to respect them. A proper club who keep it real. A dying breed nowadays.
This club is my life and keeps me going at the moment my wife is undergoing chemotherapy treatment so to be able to get to millwall gives me great strength x
Aldershot fan, had some great and bad times against Millwall, but always respect them being a real club. Thanks for letting us have Les Briely, became a hero at the Shots.
Dan excellent video enjoyed, i am in my late seventies. In my school days lived in the last terraced house in Zampa Road Started going with all my relatives when I was 6 years old ,earlier players I saw Finlayson and Brewer goalies Jardin, Fisher Short, bowler, Neary, Morgan stobart, hurrel Jonny Johnson and many more great days at the old den
Thanks for this fascinating Documentary. My first game was on 3rd September 1962 when we beat Hull City 5/1 and I missed 6 Home games between 1963 and 1993 when we made the change. I fully watched them at both ends of The Old Den and then along the side ,I hate the inflexibility of staying in one place now and not being able to stand, which everyone knows adds to the atmosphere. Also, The 1960s was THE DOCKERS after a morning shift at The Docks so no surprise they created this intimidating atmosphere and we broke the record with 59 Home games UNDEFEATED.. We were on top of the pitch on ALL 4 sides there and no banks of empty seats at the Away End Lower Tier which looks awful.
From a West Ham fan - Always had a soft spot for Millwall having been brought up in Peckham. I was a football photographer and writer for 10 years and did an article on the old Den, which appeared in the South London Press. Much respect to you all.
You are confused or perhaps even bewilderedpossibky perplexed. Holdup you're from south london yousupportwestham but you have a soft spot for millwall. Youneedtherapy.
Fantastic. First games with my dad and sisters 1971/2. Thanks for that. I appreciate all the hard work you must have put in even if you made it look easy. Watching in Brunei.
Just watched this this morning as a millwall fan was a terrific documentary, fair play to ya mate i live in scotland now and most of the scotsmen dont even know that the club origionates from their land, was a good watch and watching old faces and legends, thanks for that was mustard..
Honestly mate - too old to be a creep so please believe me when I say that is the BEST history of our beloved club I have seen - esp the summing up comments. Huge respect to you Dan & glad #LionsTV is thriving!
I love a bit of footy history and this was really interesting and very well put together with visiting old sites etc. Much better than watching old footage in b/w. Good luck for the upcoming season. I hope that you'll finally sneak into the top 6.
Thanks, My Friend. Is that "White Hart" as in the local Pub or Spurs? If Spurs, why can't your wonderful stadium still be called White Hart Lane rather than the insipid "Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ? "..
So millwall played all over the isle of dogs , 3 different grounds. I oniy thought they played over the mudchute park , a.k.a millwall park. In the very early days the wall won the east end senior cup 3 times, no wonder whu hate them lol. I wonder if them trophys still sit on there trophy cabinet today or have they rusted away. They not won much since but the fans are real loyal still respect for that.
Only just found this amazing documentary on probably the most working class club in London been a few times when I've visited south London on one of my days out around borough market good luck for season 24/25 Miiiiiiiiii Toon fan 👋👋👋👋
I first went to the Den to see my SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY play in the fa cup in 1991 I remember it ended 4-4 from the steel city of Sheffield & Yorkshires most successful football club Sheffield Wednesday Birthplace of football & what a Boxing 🥊 city Sheffield is! Millwall is a great away day I was there 2 weeks ago at the new den! It was a must win game for us OWLS 👍
I lived down Mercury Way back in the day. When he Old Den was still there. 1991. Around then. All scrapyards and under the arches mechanics etc. Apart from all the new flats i imagine its still the same. Been in all the boozers round there. And the Five Bells. Nelson etc. Joined the Army in 1991 and ive never been back. I remember Portsmouth bringing a massive firm down around 90/91. Fighting all day. pubs being smashed up. I see them surrounded by police later in the day i swear there must have been 500 hundred handed. Im London born and bred , Lambeth and strictly speaking should be Palace but im Brighton because my old man lived there and used to take me to the old Goldstone Ground. Always had a good record at Millwall. On the pitch anyway?
I m from Germany Support our small lokal sport Team in league 5, and all from ous love millwall. next year 5 from 2 from us travel to an millwall game .that will be Amazing! !!!!!
Great stuff. A proper football club, part of our working class culture and heritage, a heritage which is either being lost now or actively destroyed. Don't ever change, Millwall...
@ 8-36....sadly bombed but that was an impressive main stand for that time. Notice how it is set well back from the pitch and raised to a good height so you get a good aerial view of the pitch....and also a really good bank of terracing with crush barriers in front of it. That section was replaced with just a modest seated main stand...but sadly no paddock.
Don't know why Dan included that Photo, it's certainly not the Den. It's actually Brammal Lane. While the Den was Bombed, the Main stand was undamaged, but later burned to the ground after a London Senior Cup Final between Tooting and Dulwich on the 26th April 1943
From the Old Kent Road, we lived in Eversham House, opposite Millwall football ground, in the late 60s. Used to sneak in and watch the games. Millwall boy at heart. Harry Cripps. Legend. X 🙂
Hi Dan Happy new year always watch your channel from Canada I have been a fan since 1959.I have been watching on TH-cam Wrexham football club try to check them out if you get time.They have some very good players number 10 is brilliant would be great for the lions All the best Ron
Can someone give me some advice so that I can renew my season ticket, box office closed and when I log on it won’t let me buy the seat that I have had since the new den opened. Many thanks, Dave
Players? Most talented? Keith Weller who like Teddy Sheringham played for England. They would be the Top 2. Keeper? BRYAN KING. Defender: Barry Kitchener who was Millwall.The main character was Harry Cripps and only Terry Hurlock has come close to whipping up the crowd. Forwards Teddy and Cas, Neil Harris, Possee. Other stars like Tim Cahill but let's be honest, most Millwall strikers are off once they show potential like Morison or Chris Armstrong or Weller or Gordon Hill to Man United who was the best winger along with Jimmy Carter and Anton Otulakowski. . Endless memories of older games, not many outstanding in the 30 years at The "New" Den but now a season ticket holder again.
Just out of curiosity are any of the guy's who appeared in 1977 Panorama programme still about..heard some years ago that Harry the dog passed away..Just a snotty nosed school kid when this went to air & found it fascinating & goes down in folklore...thanks
If I wasn't a West Ham supporter I would support Millwall same people most came from East London back in the day...Poplar...Stepney...Limehouse alongside West Ham fans...also both mixed on the island.....both clubs had dockers....dont like each other but the same.

What was the cause of that fire?
