Charlton /Sheffield Utd/Chelsea..but scariest moment was an actual home game… Millwall at home late 70s ..think we won 4-1…I was a young 14/15 year old .. stood quietly on the kop …when around 50 absolute lunatics from millwall ran onto the kop and took it .. unheard of in them days ….remember them”kung fu kicking “ any Wednesday fan than stood in their way ….They stood in the middle of the kop showing off till around 15 mins before kick off when the “Ozzie owl” club emptied and older Wednesday fans came on and all hell broke loose …. Wednesday fans chased them onto the pitch …started taking the ********…so millwall jumped back on the kop and it all started off again ……Millwall seemed to hold a grudge against Wednesday after that episode…..always turning up whenever Wednesday where in London (Charlton away fa cup )……..Mad times !!! I can remember that like it was yesterday A load of youngsters on the kop about an hour before kick off acting like big mester’s . Then as you say 50 or so complete nutters in their 20’s , 30,s & 40’s stormed onto the kop and chased us all away from the back / middle. We young un’s regrouped and had a couple of go’s at shifting them to absolutely no avail and a couple including me got a good hiding . As you say our salvation came from the Ozzie owl club.

A lot of Wednesdayites were delayed and they were still entering the ground at half time We pretended we were hard and stood near the railings seperating us and the City fans A girl who must have been 14 told me she was going to kick my head in outside When we got outside it was mayhem, fights and chases everywhere We stood with our backs to the wall and tried to pretend we were house bricks While simultaneously shiiting them. Made me laugh pal... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I remember about that is the end of the match when we walked past them as they stood just below the Kop triangle where Wednedayites had eventually pinned them in. I had never seen grown men hooligans before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember which season it was, but they kept us back 15 minnwhich was the first mistake. Always an evil place to go and metioned by other fans as well. Loadda psychos, still think it's the 70's.

Genuinely thought we were going to have another Hillsborough it was that packed. Very scary, plod were clueless as usual. No lessons had been learnt there! We sat in Everton's main stand for that game - plenty of space up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two get my vote as well. There's a Panorama documentary on F Troop with Charles Wheeler the reporter done in about '77. Some of the faces on that I still recognise from the Hillsborough game.

York_Owl Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Villa fans ran into us after the game when we sent them down in the 86-87 season. That was quite scary as a 15 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of scousers tooled up slashing wednesday all day. Horrible twats. Never their fault On Grand National day in 1986 we were playing Everton at Villa Park. The game at Anfield when Chapman scored and then Rush equalised was live on ITV in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only time I ever went to the old Den, and although it's up there with the worst grounds I've been to (stuck in the corner and unable to even see the goal at our end, just the crossbar) it wasn't particularly scary - although the scruff waving a knife about in their end was a bit odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganowl Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 was on the radio that derby threw a firework at utd today and there on radio very upset.. well i nearly got hit in the head by there scum lobbing fireworks at us before the game 3 years ago , just saying so i think maybe they should look at there actions as supporters before getting upset with others . a club full of tools 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 As been mentioned before, Cardiff away 84 spent most of the morning getting chased around the city centre by locals. Chelsea away around 88, got a few clips on the Tube to Fulham Broadway, saving grace was we were hemmed in the carriage so couldn't hit us all at once. Newcastle away the Shelton game, went off all over the place. Funny after the game remember a copper setting his dog on one of the Geordies, he was screaming.
