I went to both games and the return at the Den will live with me to the day I snuff it. I’ve experienced a lot of atmospheres at games but absolutely nothing compared to that night.Pissing down with rain, a typical Old Den muddy pitch and 35000 plus fans roaring them on. If ever a crowd could be credited for »winning » a game, then this was the one. In the Fulham side there was Macedo, George Cohen, Bobby Robson, Johnny Haynes and a young Rodney Marsh. It wasn’t enough because we had Tommy Wilson and Dave Harper!
Millwall and the FA cup.

Not an obvious one but Luton at home in our first year in the top flight, when the floodlights failed in the second half. It was a great game in which we went two nil up early only for Luton to peg it back to two all before Teddy popped up with the winner in front of a delirious CBL and climbed on the fence to celebrate with the fans.
It’s more to do with it being such a memorable time in my life being young and also a great period in the clubs history. If I remember rightly we were playing the likes of Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal all around that few weeks, everyone was buzzing. What an exciting and unforgettable era that was, those of us that were there were truly blessed to experience it at The (old) Den. Wish we could go back and do it all again.

Micky,
I’d forgot about the Everton 2-0 victory. We stayed in New Brighton after the game and you drove home in 2hrs 40 mins so we could watch the highlights on the Big Match

He played for 81 minutes, no wonder we won so easily.Surely you would remember, being his biggest fan?
Made his debut the Saturday before at Sheff Utd, I think I was there and was one of those who the hell is he? moments.
Looks like he was signed to replace Richard Cadette who played the first game against Arsenal and had a long term injury.
Also played the whole game against Chelsea and started the replay.
Started in the 2-0 home win vs Grimsby in between the 2 Chelsea games.
Came on as sub against QPR in the 5th round then started in a midweek 4-1 defeat at Barnsley.
His final appearance was as sub in a 3-1 midweek home win against Swindon.
He never scored but I remember him as a forward who never looked like scoring.
and to think of the scapegoats we have had mentioned over the last few years on here.

So many proud memories. Too many to mention, but Tim Cahill's goal, Tops the lot. That for me was our 'Cup Final'. Being the permanent underdog makes each Memory that much sweeter.
So many to judge from Newcastle to Manchester Utd. But it has to be the two Fulham games. game at the.Cottsge and most of us were in the Putney end. Manic second half especially as we got it back to 3 all. The replay.at the at The.Den was absolutely insane.it is reckoned our official attendance of.48 000 was smashed by at least 10,000 as fast as the old.bill chucked them out more came over the 'Wall especially on the Dog Track side.It was such a crush I thought Ivwas going to end up with cracked ribs.

Southampton at the Dell 1986. Twelve months after Luton the club only sold tickets if you travelled on the football special from Waterloo.
Massive police presence and Millwall everywhere with it kicking off in various locations and don't think we let up singing the whole game.
0-0 a great result - unfortunately we lost the replay 0-1.
First game a good memory though.

That was one fucking cold night.
The floodlights must have cost more than the gate receipts, no more than 3000 there.
I think we won 3-0, no?
