When we helped relegate Chelsea

Same barnet though. I've seen the documentary.

I always think of the gates to the away end as you turned from the High road into Park Lane and spray painted on them was 'Alfie Conn is god'. Indelibly etched in my memory.

Was still there a few years after he left.

Talking of graffiti remember MILLWALL RIP on the wall opposite? Was there for years!

Seem to remember going away to Burnley and someone had a King Alfred the Great banner. Won 3.2 with a late winner I think. Loved Alfie, he went on to play for my "other" club, Blackpool as well. Think he used to run a pub back in Scotland.

The big sign across the middle was:
MILLWALL ARE ALL MOUTH

A few years before my time that game was but being out of south London I know that that is the day that cemented Chelsea’s No1 hated London rival.... they still talk about that relegation season and this game in particular.

Graffiti slogans at football grounds were all part of the culture back then but it’s totally out of place today. I remember a slogan on the wall as you enter by train to Lime street. Mancs and cockneys turn back or die!
