Thought I’d start a thread for tales regarding former Millwall players after I heard a couple this week.
The first from one of my dad’s mates who used to sit in the seats above the dugout in the 60s. Benny Fenton the manager at the time was also sitting in the seats rather than the dugout to get a better view. During a game he shouts down trying to get the attention of the Millwall dugout with no joy, so he shouts to my dad’s mate who is sitting nearer the dugout to get their attention. The message is then passed on to put Eamon Dunphy on as a substitute. 5 minutes pass and no sub is made, so Benny Fenton is getting angry shouting down to my dad’s mate to find out what is going on. The message comes back that Dunphy doesn’t want to go on as it’s too cold.
The second, my uncle used to drink in the Giraffe pub at Kennington. There was a bloke in there who told everyone his brother in law was Derek Possee and after a while they started taking the piss out of him as they thought he was talking shit. My uncle walks in one night and sees the bloke and makes the usual joke about Possee, then sees that Possee is sitting right next to him.

) as he was chatting “welcome to Millwall son etc” absolute mayhem was unfolding above them on the cold blow lane end terrace, before jago went out onto the pitch to appeal for calm through a loud haler Chelsea’s mob were getting blitzed for their sins and forced onto the pitch, one of them “kojak” had it away down the players tunnel whilst jago was interviewing his new kid in town, behind kojak was one of Millwall’s finest just following him biding his time telling the Chelsea bod “ you ain’t getting out”
