I think there were a lot more fights that have been missed out. Give them credit.
I remember back in 1977 Arsenal v Westham in the North bank we had running battles with westham right up to halftime, one of the leaders off the north bank called Jenkins organization us , & westham never took the north bank that day , great days😂😂👍
The Arsenal boys stood in the Clockend to be closer to the away fans. The Northbank was full of kids that sang.
Chelsea in the North Bank gave it a proper go on the opening game of the '84 season, our first season back in the old First Division for a while. Wonder why that's been overlooked?
That first pic is of united..that's banana Bob in th blue!🙄👹
Mt uncle lived in Sudbury & i remember going with him to see Ipswich v Arsenal in the 80's, was load of trouble that day, Arsenal fans got in among home supporters adjacent to away terrace
Just to correct the fact that in 1982 West Ham did not get escorted out of the North Bank and into the Clock end, we remained in the North Bank throughout the game. Helps to be factual as Arsenal and West Ham fans know this but supporters of other clubs may not.
Millwall took the old town big time
Nowhere to be seen when the Jocks came to town in the 70s and 80s.
Some right battles in and around ayresome park when we played arsenal in the cup in 76.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 invisible mob 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can recall in my pagan days as an ex-hooligan that Arsenal's main boy 'Denton' and his boys of the Herd & Gooners, where ambushed and got run all over the place from Luton Town BOLTS CREW & MIGs Crew in the 80'S, near the railway station. And one of Arsenal's top 'Gooner's' was unfortunately badly cut across his face. The reason why Millwall and other hooligans from other clubs rioted that evening in the F.A Cup was because Luton Town had the best feared small tight-knit firm in the country for several years, true fact!
God bless everyone, as it takes a real man to walk away from a fight, as violence only breeds violence!!!!
