Fair enough. Have heard it mentioned before though, that there was other London mobs there in big numbers, and that clown from Luton claimed it during an interview once. I mean, at a time when all the London firms were going at it hammer and tongs most weekends, as if they’d all come together to take on Luton lol

Exactly the description...Willie Thorn...ha.

In my mind's eye he was wearing a green top and he didn't seem like a hooligan. Just lost his rag with them being in our wnd again and splatted some bloke's nose. Agree about how strange it was he had a brolly. (In my memory a golfing brolly but I may be wrong).

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Know a couple of B’s from Peckham lol. Ginger B was Peckham, or mixed race lad who used to go by the now politically incorrect nickname half caste B?

There lies the answer, if you want to avoid trouble against millwalll, get the f*** out of there on a motorbike

I was in the AW that game when it kicked off very early in 1st half. Wall in the AW terrace went steaming in to our singing section with it all spilling on to the pitch. Complete mayhem. Police segregated the AW terrace after that and Palace had a limp charge at them mid way through 2nd half ... only cos there was a police line. Post game was tense especially around Thornton Heath ... was glad to get out of there and jump the bus to Brixton. Some real psychos out that day ... loads of them in the AW seats staring down at us all through the game. They were intent on tearing the place up ...

A West Ham fan, Terry Burns, was stabbed to death at a pub in Embankment that evening by Wall fans who had been at the game ... which is why the game was on Crimewatch ...

The new Den isn't a patch on CBL in terms of intimidation and arguably one of the safest away grounds to visit if you get the train to South Bermondsey.
