Apart from Charlton. In The North Bank, Highbury, couple of times in late seventies when Tottenham were all over it. That Chelsea 2 Palarse 3 quarter final, where the Nigel got twatted by a kung fu kick (pattern here).
Rangers v Celtic (at Rangers, Celtic and at Hampden) Hibs v Hearts Liverpool v Everton - first game after Hillsborough, truly moving Norwich v Ipswich (not very local really) Brondby v FC Copenhagen Two Singaporean teams (but they are all local derbies there)
Liverpool v Everton 1976 - (on the old Kop, unbelievable atmosphere, a swaying mass of bodies, 23,000 in one end).
Everton v Liverpool 1985 ( I got a tape of Rapid Vienna for Colin Harvey prior to the European Cup Winners Cup Final - he gave me 2 x tickets for the next Derby match in return).
Nottm Forest v Notts County 1990 (FIrst Division - Clough v Warnock).
Luton v Watford 1983 (FA Cup 3rd Round, Pleat v Taylor)
Watford v Luton 1983 (Taylor v Pleat - 5-2)
Chelsea v Fulham 1982? (Boring 0-0 draw)
Sheff Utd v Sheff Wed 1990 (pre season game - Sheffield Cup Final. 2 sent off)
Nigel's v Brighton 1983?
And of course....numerous Millwall v Charlton (first one 1971) Charlton v Millwall ( from 1968)..
I can add Nigel's v Charlton, Nigel's v Millwall, and various London derbies... Chelsea v West Ham 1977 (West Ham took the Shed), Arsenal v West Ham 1983, West Ham v Tottenham 1981, Millwall v West Ham 1972 (Harry Cripps Testimonial), Chelsea v QPR 1989. All lively affairs.
Non league -
Dulwich Hamlet v Tooting & Mitcham 1974
Erith and Belvedere v Erith Town, this season, is the latest.
Dundee United v Dundee West Ham v spanners Slavia Prague v Dukla Bohemians v Dukla AIK Stockholm v Djurgarden Elfsborg v IFK Gothenburg IFK Gothenburg v Elfsborg Vasco da Gama v Flamengo....made the 80's look like a tea party Sheffield United v Barnsley Bolton v Wigan Bradford v Huddersfield Darlington v Hartlepool Bury v Stockport Swindon v Bristol Rovers Brentford v Fulham Cologne v Munchengladbach palice v Brighton
A whole section with around 2000 & many more around the stadium - I think the club is being marketed as a more down to earth, local, urban club vs Galaxy. Very much a Latino feel about the whole thing & a lot of fun.
I know people harp on about the quality of the MLS but at least it’s somewhat unpredictable. I am sure Manchester City are technically perfect but by Christ is it boring watching them roll over the opposition 3-0 every week. Same for the other elite teams in the Premier League & their Champions League funded domination of everyone else zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Been to a few including West Ham v Millwall but River Plate v Lanús sticks in my mind. Just the three people shot before the game. It’s a Buenos Aries derby but not a scratch on when River play Boca.

Went on a Boca tour last December. The tour guide said that all Buenos Aires derbies do not allow away fans.
Boca's ground is fantastic and I'd recommend trying to get in. Two options are via a hotel or from the risky business of a tout BUT I'd always reckon on a fan having a spare. In this case it will always be a bonus if you can speak spanish.
About 15k fans rattling around in a stadium with a 120k capacity, - quite a disappointment.
The day was memorable nonetheless, on returning to my hotel and seeing Shaun Bartlett's super volley against Leicester City shown several times on the local TV football show.
