Mismanagement, hubris, top of the league just before Christmas, the case against Mick McCarthy, squad failure, the Russians, Jimmy Nicholl and relegation. The 1995-96 season has all the ingredients of a horror movie - a nightmare on Zampa Road in fact.

Yes it still hurts. This episode sees show regular Dave Collins and yours truly engage in psychological therapy as a means of recovery ...

A huge thank you to listener Fleur Sharman for this fantastic show request, namely to re-watch the You Tube footage of the two classic games against Sheffield Wednesday from 1990 and 1992. Teamed with my own third choice of Millwall v Notts County from 1992.

Watching the historical images and engaging in post viewing conversation are Ryan Loftus @RyanJamesLoftus and Michael Avery @mavery1986 with yours truly:

Peter Anderson - George Graham and a miracle escape from relegation. The 1982-83 season seems a very long time ago, but many of us who lived through it consider George Graham's incredible feat of pulling us out of demotion to the Fourth Division to be the greatest managerial achievement in the history of the Lions.

This episode features a new voice to the show in Graham Payne, a huge thank you to Graham for his input.

Arrivederci Millwall

With over 211 appearances and 10 goals across 1998-2004, Stuart Nethercott was the defensive lynch-pin who helped pull Millwall from third tier mid-table obscurity, to the brink of the Premier League under Mark McGhee. A rock solid on-field leader, the former Spurs prospect who is now managing at Heybridge Swifts speaks to Aaron Paul and yours truly about the managers, personalities and dramas of his long and varied career.

Huge thank you to Stuart for taking time out of his day to speak to us - arrivederci Millwall

'Elegant' is rarely a word associated with a Millwall defence, but Ian Dawes (260 starts in all competitions, 8 as sub, scorer of 5 goals 1988 -95) was just such a player. A member of the iconic First Division side and a thoroughly decent bloke, it was my pleasure to be able to speak with him about his football career and life after giving up the game.

Arrivederci Millwall

A light-hearted look at some of the poorest players to turn out for the Lions since the seventies, with Dave Collins.

Enjoy (if that is the right word ...)

With 339 appearances across all competitions stretching from 1967-75, a member of the heart-breaking near-miss promotion campaign of 1971-72 and an England squad member in 1974, Bryan King is not only a Millwall club legend - he is also a boyhood hero and the best goalkeeper that I ever saw in a Millwall shirt.It was my privilege to be able to speak to him at his home in his home in Norway recently.

I hope that you enjoy this interview, apologies for the poorer sound quality than usual on the phone line.

Achtung! Millwall goes back to the seventies, featuring Michael Avery - Mike Hayden - yours truly - courtesy of the miracle that is Zoom (does it sound any better listeners?)

Three games chosen by the panel from You Tube from the 1970s:

Nick’s choice: Millwall 2-1 Carlisle Utd - Division 2 - probably April 1971 https://youtu.be/BgkozMcZ8BQ

Silent colour film by British Pathe - a cinema newsreel company. All shot by a pitchside handheld movie camera at Cold Blow Lane.

Some wonderful shots of the crowd and stands at the old ground, from a rather unusual angle - low down, looking back from the Ilderton Rd end, toward the CBL.

Match action is rather difficult to follow, as the footage is fairly roughly edited and jerky, the silence and washed out colours give it a strange dream-like quality.

Taken about a year before my first game at The Den, the 1970-71 season saw us finish 8th in Division 2.

Michael’s choice: Everton 0-2 Millwall FAC4 February 1973 https://youtu.be/e3MYyC3q3dI

Very wobbly, yet compelling video from ITV’s ‘The Big Match’, which held the Sunday afternoon slot, versus Match of the Day’s Saturday night.

Intro is notable for Brian Moore’s lack of fear for a flamboyant shirt.

Mud, sweat and tears of joy as the Lions pull off a famous away win at First Division Everton.

Iconic goal-scorers Harry Cripps and Alf Wood, RIP both.

A very unsettled season after the failure to win promotion of 1971-72, this result was a beacon of light in a difficult campaign.

1972-73: Millwall finished 11th - after flirting with relegation earlier in the season.

Mike’s choice: Millwall 4-2 Luton Town Division 2 - November 1976 https://youtu.be/2iGO7wlSzw4

There being no TV gantry at The Den, ITV’s Big Match used to have to put up a scaffold on the Halfway Line terracing - which occasionally gave an odd ‘bouncy’ quality to footage during moments of high drama at Cold Blow Lane. Indeed Brian Moore would have to walk the gauntlet down the terraces, on to the ladder and up to his perch before the game.

This is a wonderful match from our first season back in Division 2, having won promotion in ‘75-76, Gordon Jago’s blue and white army era.

I was there. I remember that it was the second 4-2 home win in succession after we’d put away Hereford a couple of weeks before.

Fantastic goal by Kitch unusually a shot, he was always the man for a bullet header from a corner.

Some things never change, late winners produce ‘mentals’ in the crowd, now, then and I hope always ...

Arrivederci Millwall
