    I called the ticket office, was answered straight away and the lovely operative took my membership number told me my Lions Card discount was applied and booked my S/T for £252 + £2 admin charge, same as last year. Confirmed by email within minutes. As with you Purley, no letter this year but...

    First ever game

    I'm of the "really old bastard" brigade ! End of the 61/62 season for me because I remember the change from Ron Gray to Billy Gray and also that awful night we lost to Shrewsbury in the League Cup in September 1962. If anyone truly believes we have not progressed then you were not at the last...

    Millwall V Norwich City match thread

    Thought the ref was crap yesterday, apart from on eight minutes. The usual whistle blower for anything like a decent tackle. The only way to stop keepers wasting time is to book them. There were two rules he might not even know. First, is there still the "six second" rule for keepers releasing...

    How many seasons,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Me and three mates from school used to go to Bexleyheath & Welling and decided to go upmarket and see what Millwall was all about. That was towards the end of 61/62 season. Can't remember the game but was hooked straight away. I certainly remember the 1-3 FA Cup defeat to Shrewsbury in September...

    Do the best players really enjoy football?

    That is the point I was making. Yes there are/were some, Cureton and Claridge were my first examples. Perhaps with Cureton I should have said Premier to Essex League but he still managed nine levels of Pyramid. I'm sure I don't have to go through SC's club statistics. He would have a bet on...

    Do the best players really enjoy football?

    Jamie Cureton, now player/manager at Enfield is the only player I am aware of who has played in nine levels of football, Essex League to Premier League. And of course, one man who only played because he loved playing football -- Steve Claridge.

    Paris. You want a vegan restaurant ? The Garden of Eden closed some time ago I'm afraid. You wouldn't Adam & Eve it !

    Beckenham Town FAO Paris

    Sweeney and Massey correct. Congratulations to the ground staff. You could play bowls, crocquet or practice putting on the pitch. Excellent little ground.

    Beckenham Town FAO Paris

    I went and it certainly was entertaining. Number 54 bus from Lewisham to Elmers End Green and a fifteen minute walk or choice of three buses from there to Eden Park. Only £5 for olduns. Two former Millall players at the game but not playing. One has a FA Cup finalist medal and started the game...

    Zak Lovelace

    Plays for Bromley and might score a goal at Wembley tomorrow in the Trophy final. I seem to remember his Dad did something pretty spectacular at that venue but that seems a long time ago now. Good luck George.

    Jamie Philpott plays for Glebe in Chislehurst. Scored shed loads but not as many in the same Division as Dan Bradshaw at Chatham who whacked in 43 I believe, more than one goal per game ?

    Best Ever Millwall Midfielders (cont.)

    I agree with you, Purley, although I've only watched the last sixty years. He was magnificent and when he scored the winner against us at Wolverhampton, he didn't even celebrate. What a player.

    Just back (short version)

    Funny how views differ depending on where you are in the ground. All the youngsters behind me, (most people are younger whether behind or in front), told Ojo to eff off back to scouseland, called Saville a fat, useless waste of space, (although I pointed out that he isn't fat) and agreed Murray...
