Apologies Obes, but it was better than saying that you were on Shore Leave when you watched our first ever game.......and you spotted Paris on the touchline in his full kit.Buzz, can I claim a commendation for the following?
Played at Millwall Park, (now has another name)
Played at the old Den
Watched at the new ground.
Ulster, very droll.
Its a map of Ulster's conquests....Rumour has it that Silver has written his "Just Back" reports from them all......and Obes has been ball boy at every ground.
....and the dates of my last dalliances with any women.Its a map of Ulster's conquests....
They'll be thousands of people that have done just that. Only they are all dead.Should be a prize for anyone seen Millwall play at any 3 of those.
Half of them at The SommeThey'll be thousands of people that have done just that. Only they are all dead.
That's actually quite thought provoking you saying that... I wonder how many fellas that watched us at the Island grounds and first few years in New Cross perished in the Great War. A bloody good number I would expect.Half of them at The Somme
I've just realised I only use the term 'wall' when talking about (well) wall.Gazza, correct, I still refer to them by their original nickname , "The Dockers". Until the day he died my Old Dad always called them "The Dockers". I rarely use "Lions", usually just "The 'Wall".
I took my boy over to the Island for a history lesson and we had a kick about on that park. Also went to all the locations where we once called home. The islander was the pub we first used as HQ and to get changed in. Glengall road our first ground 1885 to 86. Our second ground behind the Lord Nelson 1886/ 1890. The Athletic ground 1890/1901 was our third. North Greenwich the fourtdhground 1901/ 1910. We know the rest when thankfully it came to the heart of south London.Played at Millwall Park, (now has another name)
