Your favourite decade following wall

[Wippa]

90’s. Was aged 15 to 25 and my most ‘active’ years by a mile. Got in with our mob at a young age. Got nicknamed the wippersnapper by big Frank D (RIP) and it stuck. Even get called it to this day at times, at the ripe old age of 50.

Was such an exciting and carefree decade for me. Millwall, clubbing, the OKR, smashing different birds all the time, just loved it. Had a year out in Tenerife in 96 as well, when I was 21. Mental year that was. The decade didn’t end well for me though. Started the 2000’s with a stint in Strangeways and a 3 year banning order after the Man City turn out.

Don’t remember much about the football though. Was all a bit of a blur

Chelsea home and away in the League and FA Cup 1985

Chelsea away the 3-2 is still up there as one of my favourite games/ memories. We'd beat the Nigels in the previous round to get there too.

I've mentioned before on here, Chelsea was the best Away match I ever went to.

Quite possibly the same for me mate.

There can't be too many teams to date who have a better historical record of turning over top tier teams than our record.

Don't start me off This stat wankery is addictive.

1997- 2005 for me, Going up to games with two of my younger brothers and various mates that wanted to tag along for a piss up and a few smokes, seeing the team slowly come good again after 96.

Popping round our Mum’s (sadly died in 2017) on the way home to drop my youngest brother home on a Saturday. She always welcomed us with a beaming smile with unconditional love and asked how the ‘wall got on. I fondly miss those times.

In the back of my head, I think Millwall hold the record (or share it) for the most FA Cup giant-killings.

Confirmed (see attached)

Took my first proper hiding at that one mate. Highbury corner after the game when a certain chap walked us Into an ambush where we was well outnumbered but I stood and took my medicine. Great day from the meet at the Charlie Chaplain onwards.

I very nearly got led astray too. Another well known chap talked me out of it. About the only time I decided to listen to some good advice.

I thought so, but I was being mischievous. Just doing a bit of fishing hoping to reel Peckham in...

Yeah, what a great time that was but memories fade and when at my I age I feel they are fading faster than what I had for dinner yesterday, I just keep in my head:

Stepney, Gilchrist, Cripps, Jones, Snowden, Wilson, Rowan, Julians, Brown, Dunphy, Neil.

What a Fu.cking team they were.

Showing my age ? but proud to have chidren and grandchildren next to me in West Upper.

What a great family is Millwall eh ?

If you don't mind me asking what block in the west upper? Were in block 2 and have been for around 15 years now. Was in West lower prior to that. The Kitchener is the only stand that I've sat in.

Can’t pick a specific decade but favourite teams to watch was Billy Gray’s (mid-60’s) and Benny Fenton’s when Weller and Possee were playing

Same with me, Benny Fenton assembled a great team on a Mickey Purser budget (meaning fuck all) and was my favourite period in following the ‘Wall.
The talent that he discovered and nurtured was really remarkable. He was one hell of a Manager.

I can visualise and remember that entire team but not Mickey Brown. Anyone got a photo?

Remember one game and we were leading 1-0 and under the cosh. Ball was played towards the dugout and Benny kicked it away from opposing player and over the goal line to waste time. Top man with top team on little money.
