Pitch Invasions

I , and half of London was at spite hart lane when millwall lifted the park lane.....game spuds tried to take it back with little luck

That was in the league cup game in 75, not the league game in 78.

I was at the Barry Kitchener testimonial v Spurs a few months later, and the speaker asks "who's here for Millwall?" and whole of the Den erupts, "And who's here for Spurs," and you could hear the proverbial pin drop.

I was in the Shed v Millwall just above where they were escaping onto the pitch. Their main mob up the North stand might not have done much on the pitch but did have a right go at that Mesh fencing and I remember it swaying back and forwards as the police struggled to keep them in and the fence up.

The league cup game that you keep going on about against Millwall was in 1972 and I went. Millwall did not bother to take the Park Lane they just stood in there. Spurs main boys all stood in the Shelf at the time! In 1975 all Spurs boys were in the Paxton. I hope that helps jog your memory.

I can remember a big fat Millwall lump trying to climb the fence at the shed end, it sort of wobbled, he wobbled and he never made it .

Millwall got mullered in the Shed that day and west ham fared no better 3 years later, afterwards was a different matter.
