Unusual Pic: 1978 Millwall v Ipswich

Choice

The coffin was used in a mock western gun battle staged prior to the match.

i remember fulham fans (about 200) bringing a coffin to selhurst park in a 2-0 victory in 1986 that helped us towards promotion as they were heading down the leagues(we'd beaten them 3-0 away a week earlier)

I was at the Millwall v Ipswich game. F.A. Cup 6th round if it's the same one. Ipswich battered them 6-1 I think and it was carnage throughout.

That was the game when Sir Bobby Robson said that Millwall fans should be birched or was it burned.....either way, I'm all for that!

Yeah, and they sang "Ernie Clay has f*cked it up again" all the way through the match.

Carnage indeed - wasn't the Den was closed for a while after this?

Cardinal Sin

Sir Bobby said that flame throwers should be used on Millwall fans. Not as stupid as he sometimes pretended. I am sure Millwall also lost 6-1 at home to Ipswich in a pre-season friendly that year. I remember coming home as a 14 year old from Spurs that day on the bus when a drunken Millwall fan got on who had robbed a jewellers that afternoon. He showed us several trays of rings he had stolen. When I told him the Millwall score he said "no you silly c***, that was the pre-season score." He stumbled off the bus on the Old Kent Road looking slightly more sober and less happy than when he'd got on.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term, "box to box player".
