My favourite night game, the 85 run included.
The Leicester game after we beat Chelsea away was something else. Huge crowd and proper moody atmosphere. The whole season and cup run is still up there with my most memorable and enjoyable times following us. I was 14 at the time.
Enfield in the early rounds ( 2nd) was the first game that i went to with just my mates and without my old man. Nigels in the next round which we drew with a late equaliser from Dean Neal- again after he got the solitary goal against Enfield the previous round.
The replay at the Nigels ( my first away without my old man) was postponed a few times cause we had heavy snow for most of the January. Nearly 3 week between the fixtures and no league games played either. Won that replay 2-1 with ex Nigel- Lovell getting the winner. There was Wall all around Selhurst park that night. When we scored over half the ground was celebrating in the home bits
Then Chelsea away. A top division one side against us from the third division and we win again
and plenty of
The whole route from Vauxhall along the embankment to Lotts road in Chelsea was Millwall. In motors, vans, scaffolding lorries ( what we was in with my mates dad and loon mates).
That period of the season from the Palace game up to finally losing at Luton was part of a great run. Fourteen games and one defeat. That defeat was away at Orient who had the better of us that season. We played them four times and lost three of those games. Twice in the freight rover trophy and once in the league at Brisbane road from a Cussack own goal.
But it all ended well, promotion and not one defeat at home in the league all season. Three year later,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,who'd have thought it!! The rest as they say mate is history.
