Миллуолл - Вест Хэм Юнайтед - соперничество

Соперничество между Миллуолл и Вест Хэм является одним из самых давних и наиболее ожесточенной в английском футболе . Две команды, тогда известные как Millwall Athletic и Thames Ironworks , обе возникли в лондонском Ист-Энде и находились на расстоянии менее трех миль друг от друга. Впервые они сыграли друг с другом в Кубке Англии 1899–1900 . Матч исторически был известен как дерби докеров , поскольку обе группы сторонников были преимущественно докерами на верфях по обе стороны реки Темзы.. Следовательно, каждая группа поклонников работала на конкурирующие фирмы, которые конкурировали за один и тот же бизнес; это усилило напряженность между командами. В 1904 году Вест Хэм переехал в Болейн Граунд, который тогда был частью Эссекса до изменения границ Лондона в 1965 году. В 1910 году Миллуолл переехал через Темзу в Нью-Кросс в Южном Лондоне, и команды больше не были соседями Восточного Лондона . С тех пор обе стороны переехали, но их разделяет не более четырех миль. Миллуолл переехал в The Den в Бермондси в 1993 году, а West Ham - на лондонский стадион в Стратфорде в 2016 году.

Миллуолл и Вест Хэм сыграли друг с другом 99 раз в соревнованиях: Миллуолл выиграл 38, Вест Хэм 34 и 27 закончились вничью. Перед Первой мировой войной команды встречались 60 раз всего за 16 лет, в основном в Южной и Западной футбольных лигах. С 1916 года они сыграли в общей сложности 39 раз в лигах и кубках. Команды обычно выступали в разных дивизионах, проведя всего 12 сезонов в одном уровне Футбольной лиги . Несмотря на это, дерби сохранили свою страсть, и оба набора болельщиков по-прежнему считают другой клуб своим главным соперником. Последний раз они играли друг против друга в чемпионате 2011–12 . По состоянию на сезон 2021–2022 годов « Вест Хэм» играет в Премьер-лиге, а Миллуолл - в чемпионате , уровень ниже.

Соперничество между командами глубоко укоренилось в традициях и культуре британского футбольного хулиганства и было изображено в книгах и фильмах, в которых особое внимание уделяется вражде между двумя хулиганскими фирмами клубов , Inter City Firm и Millwall Bushwackers . Время от времени между фанатами происходило насилие, что привело к смерти сторонника Миллуолла в 1976 году и убийству фаната Вест Хэма в 1986 году. Совсем недавно во время беспорядков в Аптон-парке 2009 года , широко распространенных беспорядков между сторонниками в Аптон-парке и вокруг него земля привела к многочисленным травмам и ранению болельщика Миллуолла перед началом матча. В последних двух играх между сторонами в сезоне 2011-12 года столичная полиция реализована в Лондоне по всей операции , чтобы обеспечить игры были безотказно.

Основание клубов: 1885–1898 гг.

Миллуолл и Вест Хэм Юнайтед, разделенные рекой Темза , находятся на расстоянии чуть менее четырех миль (6,23 км) друг от друга. [1] [2]

Футбольный клуб «Миллуолл Роверс» был основан в 1885 году жестянщиками консервной фабрики Дж. Т. Мортона на Собачьем острове в лондонском Ист-Энде . [3] Десять лет спустя футбольный клуб Thames Ironworks был основан Дэйвом Тейлором , мастером Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company , последней крупной судостроительной фирмы Лондона. Арнольд Хиллз , владелец компании, решил создать футбольную команду, чтобы поднять моральный дух своих сотрудников. [4] Два клуба были расположены на расстоянии менее трех миль (4,8 км) друг от друга. [5] [6] С каждым набором игроков и сторонников, работающих на противоположные фирмы, конкурирующих за одни и те же контракты, развивалось соперничество. [4] [7] Первые встречи между клубами были резервные игры: первый закончился в 6-0 победа хозяев в Миллуолл Атлетик заповедникам [пь 1] 14 декабря 1895 года по вновь образованной стороне Thames Ironworks. [5] [8] 23 сентября 1897 года обе стороны сыграли товарищеский матч за первую команду на Атлетик Граунд Миллуолл, Миллуолл Атлетик выиграл 2: 0 перед толпой в 1200 зрителей. [8] [9]

Шестьдесят встреч за шестнадцать лет: 1899–1915 гг.

9 декабря 1899 года две команды встретились для своего первого соревновательного матча - квалификационного матча пятого раунда Кубка Англии . «Миллуолл Атлетик» выиграл со счетом 2–1 на Мемориальном стадионе Thames Ironworks ; их бомбардирами были Хью Голди и Берт Бэнкс . Миллуолл дошел до полуфинала 1899–1900 и проиграл Саутгемптону со счетом 3–0 , но получил прозвище «Львы» из газетного заголовка, провозглашающего их «львами Юга» за их подвиги в кубках. [10] Вторая соревновательная встреча команд была матчем Южной лиги, который длился два столетия. Матч на Мемориальном поле 23 декабря 1899 года был заброшен через 69 минут из-за смога, Миллуолл вел 2–0. Вместо того, чтобы переиграть игру, оставшиеся 21 минута были завершены после ответного матча четыре месяца спустя, 28 апреля 1900 года. После того, как Ironworks выиграла 1–0, игроки немного отдохнули и сыграли оставшуюся часть заброшенной игры. Без дальнейшего счета Миллуолл выиграл игру 2–0. [11]

Thames Ironworks был распущен в июне 1900 года из-за споров по поводу работы клуба. В следующем месяце он был перезапущен как «Вест Хэм Юнайтед». [13] Клуб получил прозвище «Молоты» из-за его происхождения из металлургического завода. [14] В сезонах 1901–02 и 1902–03 Миллуолл и Вест Хэм соревновались в Южной лиге, Лондонской лиге , Западной лиге и Южном профессиональном благотворительном кубке . Обе стороны встречались по семь раз в каждом из этих сезонов, что является максимальным количеством встреч между клубами за сезон. [15] [16] В течение этого периода Миллуолл не проиграл в 12 играх подряд против «Вест Хэма», одержав девять побед и три ничьи за два года. [17] Это включало победу со счетом 7: 1 в полуфинале Южного профессионального благотворительного кубка 2 апреля 1903 года, что стало наибольшим разницей между командами. [16] Бен Халс забил четыре гола на «Мемориале». [18] Побег был окончательно прерван 1 сентября 1904 года в первой игре Вест Хэма в Аптон-парке со счетом 3: 0 , с двумя голами Билли Бриджмана и одним голом Джека Флинна . [19] Аптон-Парк находился в Эссексе до 1965 года , и технически «Вест Хэм» больше не входил в состав лондонской команды до тех пор, пока парламентский акт не изменил границы Лондона в 1965 году и не сформировал городской округ Ньюхэм . [20]

17 сентября 1906 года в игре Западной лиги игрок «Миллуолла» Альф Дин был брошен в металлический рекламный щит Леном Джарвисом из «Вест Хэма» . [21] Остальные были растянуты после тяжелых подкатов. « Ист Хэм Эхо» сообщило: «С самого первого удара по мячу было видно, что возникнут какие-то проблемы, но шторм разразился, когда Дин и Джарвис вошли в столкновение (Миллуолл удалил двух игроков во время матча). волнение среди зрителей. Толпы на берегу заболели лихорадкой, бесплатные драки были в изобилии ». [22] В 1910 году Миллуолл решил исключить «Атлетик» из своего названия и уехать из Восточного Лондона . [23] Из-за ограниченного пространства для расширения на Собачьем острове клуб хотел увеличить поддержку и посещаемость. Он переместился на четыре мили до Ден , в Нью-Кросс , Южный Лондон . [24] Последнее дерби в Восточном Лондоне между командами состоялось 24 сентября 1910 года на стадионе Миллуолл в Северном Гринвиче ; Вест Хэм выиграл 2: 0 с голами Дэнни Ши и Фреда Блэкберна . [25] Четыре месяца спустя Миллуолл впервые поехал в Аптон-Парк в составе команды Южного Лондона. Игра закончилась вничью 2–2. [25] 9 марта 1912 года 28 400 сторонников увидели первый визит Вест Хэма в Ден. «Львы» выиграли игру со счетом 5–1, а их валлийский международный нападающий Уолли Дэвис сделал хет-трик . [26]

Две мировые войны и вступление в Футбольную лигу: 1915–1945 гг.

Во время Первой и Второй мировых войн состоялся ряд товарищеских и неконкурентных дерби . Всего было сыграно 33 матча между командами в лигах военного времени . [28] Они оба выставили на поле сильно истощенные команды юниоров, резервистов и непрофессионалов, сыграв 14 игр в лондонской комбинации между 1915 и 1919 годами. «Вест Хэм» выиграл девять, Миллуолл - три и две - вничью. [29] После Первой мировой войны Футбольная лига была вновь введена в Англии Футбольной ассоциацией, и Вест Хэм присоединился ко второму дивизиону на сезон 1919–20 . Миллуолл присоединился к первому Третьему Дивизиону в сезоне 1920–21 , в расширении Футбольной лиги с 44 клубов до 66. [23] В 1926 году рабочие вокруг Королевских доков наблюдали всеобщую забастовку , большинство из которых были сторонниками Вест Хэма. Необоснованная история гласит, что работники верфи Острова Собак, поддерживающие Миллуолл, отказались оказать свою поддержку, что вызвало возмущение. В то время Миллуолл уже переехал с Острова собак и 16 лет играл в New Cross. [30]

Между 1919 и 1929 годами клубы 11 раз играли друг с другом в Благотворительном фонде Лондонской ассоциации профессиональных футболистов и в London Challenge Cup : «Вест Хэм» выиграл пять игр, Миллуолл выиграл три и три выиграл вничью. [31] 15 февраля 1930 года Вест Хэм выиграл игру Кубка Англии пятого раунда со счетом 4–1 в Аптон-парке; Вик Уотсон забил по два гола, а Вив Гиббинс и Томми Юс - по одному. Гарольд Уодсворт ответил за Львов. [32] Команды впервые встретились в Футбольной лиге в сезоне 1932–33 , после того, как «Вест Хэм» вылетел из Первого дивизиона . [31] 17 сентября 1932 года «Вест Хэм» обыграл Миллуолла со счетом 3: 0 на Аптон-парке во втором дивизионе, два гола забил Вик Уотсон и один - Джеки Мортон . [33]

27 декабря 1938 года 42 200 зрителей в Аптон-парке увидели игру второго дивизиона, завершившуюся 0–0. По состоянию на 2021 год это остается рекордным показателем посещаемости матча. [34] Между 1939 и 1946 годами два клуба играли неконкурентные матчи в Южном дивизионе (A) лиги, Южной региональной лиге, Лондонской лиге, Южной футбольной лиге и Кубке войны Футбольной лиги . [35] Они сыграли 19 игр друг против друга во время Второй мировой войны: Миллуолл выиграл 3, Вест Хэм 12 и 4 были вничью. [35] Логово было серьезно повреждено немецкой бомбой в 1943 году, и на короткое время Миллуолл были приглашены своими соседями Чарльтон Атлетик , Кристал Пэлас и Вест Хэм поиграть в их игры в Долине , Селхерст-парке и Аптон-парке. [28] Чтобы компенсировать нехватку профессиональных игроков во время Второй мировой войны, была введена система приглашенных игроков. В этот период за оба клуба играли такие игроки, как Сэйлор Браун , Луи Кардуэлл и Джимми Джинкс . [36] « Вест Хэм» проиграл «Челси» на « Уайт Харт Лейн» со счетом 2: 1 в полуфинале Кубка военного времени 1944–45 с двумя гостевыми игроками Миллуолла в своей команде - оба продолжали играть за Миллуолла в Южном финале. , который они проиграли «Челси» 2–0. [37]

Different leagues and hooliganism: 1946–87

"The volatility of the fixture reflected a warped social history. The rivalry had soured, mutated. It defied rational analysis of the fault lines between dockers and shipbuilders, founding fathers of each club. The heresy of scab labour, early in the last century, was given a murderous dimension in a subsequent generation by gangland wars involving the Krays and the Richardsons. The game was a tribal ritual, an end in itself."

—Michael Calvin, from his book Family: Life, Death and Football[38]

After the Second World War Millwall's form was poor and the club dropped into the Third and Fourth Division of the Football League.[39] West Ham have never played below the Second Division in their history and often played a league or two above Millwall. The two sides did not play each other competitively between 13 October 1959 and 7 October 1978, making the 1960s the only decade the teams have not met.[40] Despite the infrequency of their meetings, both sets of supporters still consider the other club their major rival.[41] During these years, the Hammers enjoyed considerable success, winning the FA Cup in 1964, 1975 and 1980.[42][43] They also won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1965.[44] Over four decades the sides were only in the same tier of the Football League for three seasons, in 1946–47, 1947–48 and 1978–79.[45][46][47] They played two cup games against each other in the Southern Professional Floodlit Cup in 1959 and the Full Members Cup in 1987.[48][49]

Football hooliganism reached its height in the 1970s and 80s. West Ham's Inter City Firm and the Millwall Bushwackers firm were at the forefront of the trouble, not just against each other, but against the police and firms associated with other football teams.[50][51] In 1972, the two clubs played each other in a testimonial match for Millwall defender Harry Cripps, who began his career at West Ham.[19] The game was marred by intense fighting between the two club's hooligan firms, both inside and outside the ground.[52] Four years later, a Millwall supporter, Ian Pratt, died at New Cross railway station after falling out of a train during a fight with some West Ham fans.[53] After the incident West Ham hooligans constructed the chant, "West Ham boys, we've got brains, we throw Millwall under trains."[41] Millwall fans waited patiently for two years for revenge, until West Ham were relegated to the Second Division.[54] Prior to their next meeting with the Hammers on 7 October 1978, leaflets were distributed at Millwall's home matches bearing the words: "A West Ham fan must die to avenge him."[30][41] The police responded with an unprecedented show of force for the game at Upton Park, which West Ham won 3–0.[41] Some 500 police officers controlled the crowd, carrying out extensive searches and strict segregation.[54] Six officers were injured and 70 people were arrested after fans clashed in the street. Numerous weapons were also seized.[55]

The Lions' 2–1 home league victory over the Hammers on 14 May 1979 ended a run of ten games without a win against their rivals, which stretched over 46 years, back to 1933. Pop Robson had given West Ham a half-time lead, but second half goals from Dave Mehmet and Nicky Chatterton gave Millwall the win.[56] On 4 October 1986, over seven years since the clubs last played each other, 19 year-old West Ham fan Terry Burns was stabbed to death by a group of Millwall supporters on Villiers Street, next to Embankment tube station.[57] A 2–1 victory in the Full Members Cup on 10 November 1987 gave Millwall their first win at Upton Park in 73 years. Alan Dickens gave the Hammers the lead in the second half, but two goals in three minutes from Teddy Sheringham and Tony Cascarino assured Millwall of their first away win in the derby since 1914.[49] As of their last game in 2012, it stands as the Lions last away win in the fixture.[49]

In 1988, Millwall won the Second Division championship and gained promotion, joining West Ham in the First Division for the first time in the club's history.[49][60] Paul Ince scored the only goal at The Den on 3 December 1988, as West Ham won the game 1–0. They also won 3–0 at home on 22 April 1989, with goals from Julian Dicks, George Parris and Alan Dickens. This is the first and only time either side has completed a Football League double over the other.[61] At the end of the season West Ham finished 19th and were relegated. Millwall finished 10th, the highest league finish in their history. The 1988–89 season is the only season both teams have been in the top division of English football.[49][60] Millwall were relegated from the First Division in the 1989–90 season, the last time they appeared in the top tier.[62] During the foundation of the Premier League in 1992, the two teams competed in the tier below in the newly formed First Division. The last game played between the teams at The Den was on 15 November 1992. It was the featured Sunday game on The London Match, an LWT sports show.[63] Millwall won the game 2–1, with goals from Malcolm Allen and Phil Barber. Mark Robson replied for West Ham.[64]

In the 1993–94 season, Millwall moved into the first purpose-built all-seater stadium, after the Taylor Report on the Hillsborough disaster.[65] The Hammers were promoted, spending ten seasons in the Premier League and it was twelve years until they played at Millwall's new ground, The New Den. On Mothering Sunday, 24 March 2004, Millwall beat West Ham 4–1, with two goals from Tim Cahill, one from Nick Chadwick and a Christian Dailly own goal. Marlon Harewood scored the West Ham goal. This is the largest winning margin between the sides in the Football League.[66] In an eventful game, Millwall missed one penalty and had another saved by West Ham goalkeeper Stephen Bywater, who was subsequently sent off. Violence also broke out between the opposing fans.[53][67] Millwall fans and the media named the match "The Mothers' Day Massacre".[68]

During an open-air showing in Canada Square, London Docklands of an England game against Paraguay at the 2006 World Cup, 100 West Ham and Millwall supporters fought each other, resulting in injuries to 16 people, one of whom required hospital treatment. The police shut down the screening with 10 minutes of the game remaining to be played.[69]

Upton Park riot and West Ham move stadiums: 2009–present

The World Cup Sculpture near Upton Park was boarded up for protection before the visit of Millwall on 25 August 2009.

In the 2009–10 season Millwall were drawn away to West Ham in the League Cup, which was the first meeting between the teams in the competition. The police cut the number of tickets given to travelling Millwall fans from 3,000 to 1,500, sparking anger among supporters; Millwall warned police of a higher probability of trouble.[70][71] West Ham won the game 3–1 on 25 August 2009, their first win over Millwall in seven games played over in 18 years.[72] Neil Harris had given Millwall the lead, but a goal from Junior Stanislas three minutes from the final whistle forced the game into extra-time. Stanislas added another and Zavon Hines a third for the win. Violence marred the match before, during and after kick-off, with multiple pitch invasions by Hammers supporters.[73] Lions fan Alan Baker was stabbed outside the ground and suffered a punctured lung, but made a full recovery.[74] He was one of 20 people injured.[74][75][76][77] The police concluded that the violence, because of its large scale, was organised beforehand.[73][78] The Football Association brought misconduct charges against both clubs. A disciplinary tribunal fined West Ham £115,000 for "failing to ensure that their fans did not enter the field of play and refrained from violent, threatening, obscene and provocative behaviour", but concluded that the allegations against Millwall of "violent, racist behaviour and throwing missiles or dangerous objects on to the pitch" had not been proved.[79]

In a poor 2010–11 season, West Ham manager Avram Grant guided his team to only seven wins from 37 games. On 15 May 2011, the Hammers were finally relegated from the Premier League after a 3–2 defeat at Wigan Athletic. As Wigan equalised at 2–2, a light aircraft flew above Wigan's ground, the DW Stadium, trailing a banner which read "Avram Grant – Millwall Legend".[80] Grant was sacked after the game. The plane had been hired by Millwall supporters from the fans' website House of Fun, celebrating Grant's failure to prevent West Ham's relegation.[81] Their relegation meant they met the Lions in the 2011–12 Football League Championship. On 17 September 2011, their first league meeting for seven years ended in a 0–0 draw at The Den.[82] The return fixture and most recent game between the two sides was on 4 February 2012. West Ham beat Millwall 2–1 at Upton Park, despite having their captain Kevin Nolan sent off after only nine minutes for serious foul play. West Ham's goal scorers were Carlton Cole and Winston Reid. Millwall's goal was by Liam Trotter.[83]

Fixtures between Millwall and West Ham United are currently categorised by the Metropolitan Police as category C – games which carry a high risk of disorder amongst supporters.[84][85] For the 2011–12 season, the Metropolitan Police implemented London-wide operations to ensure that the games passed by without any incident.[86] In 2013 a member of West Ham's hooligan Inter City Firm was jailed for 12 months for organising violence between West Ham and Millwall fans during an FA Cup match between Dagenham & Redbridge and Millwall on 7 January 2012. He chose this game in the belief fewer police would be in attendance at a match in Dagenham, but who instead, turned out in force to prevent trouble.[87] In November 2014 the two sides' development squads were drawn against each other in the U21 Premier League Cup. The Metropolitan Police took preventive measures against any trouble occurring, demanding the game at Rush Green kick-off at 12pm and be played behind closed doors.[88][89]

Millwall and West Ham moved a mile closer and are now under four miles (6.23 km) apart, when the Hammers moved into the London Stadium in Stratford in the 2016–17 season, which ended 112 years at Upton Park.[1][90] On 24 August 2017, a Nottingham Forest fan Paul O'Donnell died, following an attack by Millwall fan Andrew Lewis after O'Donnell had said "West Ham" to Lewis. A charge of manslaughter was eventually dropped against Lewis.[91] In 2018, Hammers and Lions fans put their rivalry aside to help raise money for a West Ham fan suffering from cancer. Three-year-old Isla Caton needed money for expensive treatment of her neuroblastoma condition. A Millwall fan did a sponsored run in a West Ham kit from The Den to the London Stadium to help raise funds for the sick girl.[92]

As of 4 February 2012[82][83][93][94]

Managers and coaches

Billy Bonds, West Ham's record appearance holder, is the only manager to take charge of both clubs. [111]

Billy Bonds is the only manager to have managed both clubs. He was in charge of West Ham from February 1990 to August 1994, managing the club for 227 games as the team yo-yoed between the First and Second divisions.[111] He guided them to two promotions and one relegation. He resigned in August 1994. He was appointed as Millwall manager in May 1997 by chairman Theo Paphitis — an unpopular decision with many Lions fans due to his West Ham allegiance.[112] Bonds, from south London, had several family members who were Millwall fans; a fact which meant some supporters felt he should be given a chance.[113] After a good start, the team narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 18th in the Second Division. Bonds was sacked in May 1998, having been in charge of the side for only 53 games.[111][113][114]

Ted Fenton managed West Ham from 1950–61 and was responsible for the establishment of youth development at the club, the Academy of Football.[115] He won the 1957–58 Second Division championship, assuring top-flight football for the Hammers for the first time since 1932.[116] His brother Benny Fenton started his career as a player at West Ham in 1937, before moving to Millwall in 1939.[117] After he retired as a footballer, he moved into management, managing Millwall from 1966–74.[117] On 17 January 1967 he was manager of the Lions team that established an English Football League record of 59 games unbeaten at home.[65] The record was eventually taken by Liverpool in 1981, who went 85 games unbeaten at Anfield in all competitions.[118]

Pat Holland, an FA Cup winner in 1975 with West Ham, served as Millwall assistant manager to Willie Donachie in 2006. After Donachie was fired in 2007, he continued on as chief scout until 2009.[119] In June 2011 former Millwall player Sam Allardyce was appointed as manager of West Ham.[120] In June 2013 Millwall appointed former Hammers captain Steve Lomas as their new manager.[121] Lomas joined ex-West Ham defender Tim Breacker, who was Millwall's first-team coach.[122] As a former West Ham player, Lomas' appointment was unpopular with many Millwall fans.[123] Lomas was sacked on 26 December 2013, after winning only five of his 22 games in charge.[124] In May 2014, former Millwall and West Ham player, Teddy Sheringham was appointed as an attacking coach with West Ham for the 2014–15 season.[125] Sheringham left in May 2015 to become manager of Stevenage.[126]

Players

Players who have played for both teams. Sailor Brown, Peter Buchanan, Johnny Burke, Louis Cardwell, Jimmy Jinks and Harold Pearson also played for both sides as wartime guest players.[36][127]

In popular culture

In film

The rivalry between the teams, specifically the clubs' two hooligan firms has been depicted on the big screen several times. In 1989, Alan Clarke directed The Firm, starring real-life Millwall supporter Gary Oldman. [156] He plays Bex, leader of the football firm the Inter City Crew, a fictional representation of West Ham's Inter City Firm and their violent exploits. In it, Millwall's Bushwackers firm are depicted as The Buccaneers. Green Street was released in 2004, with real-life Hammers supporter Elijah Wood playing an American student who gets involved with West Ham's firm. [157] The film builds up to the big clash with Millwall's firm at the climax, after the two teams draw each other in the Cup, foreshadowing the reality of the League Cup game which led to the 2009 Upton Park riot. [158] It was a moderate financial success, grossing just over $3 million worldwide. [159]
"They're like two brothers, but only one of them can be king. They have the same blood but would kill each other to take the throne. They are two like-for-like cultures and people and all that separates them is the Thames. It's like they're looking at a mirror image of themselves."

—Cass Pennant, leader of West Ham's Inter City Firm[52][160]

The rise of a football hooligan, Carlton Leach, is chronicled in 2007's Rise of the Footsoldier, from his beginnings on the terraces to becoming a member of a notorious gang of criminals. The bitter rivalry between the Hammers and the Lions is displayed, by the use of original footage, during the opening scenes of the film. [161] In 2009, a direct-to-video sequel to Green Street was made, Green Street 2: Stand Your Ground. It follows on directly from the original's climax, with several members of West Ham's and Millwall's firms ending up in prison together and arranging a football match."r [162] A remake of The Firm, also titled The Firm was released in 2009 by Nick Love, director of The Football Factory and himself a Millwall supporter. [163] Set in the 1980s, the film highlights the music, fashion and culture surrounding football at the time. [164] It was generally well received by critics. [164][165][166] In October 2009, the Metropolitan Police released still photos from the film in relation to a search for hooligans from the Upton Park riot. [167] The mistake led to an apology from Scotland Yard. [168] The 2012 zombie comedyCockneys vs Zombies referenced the rivalry, showing Millwall and West Ham zombies fighting amongst themselves in East London after a zombie apocalypse. [169] In 2013 a third film in the Green Street franchise, Green Street 3: Never Back Down was released. It focuses on a rivalry between West Ham and Millwall fans within mixed martial arts. [170]

In literature

As with film, the rivalry between the clubs' hooligan firms has been covered in books such as Congratulations You Have Just Met the ICF by Cass Pennant, leader of the Inter City Firm.[171][172] No One Likes Us, We Don't Care: True Stories from Millwall, Britain's Most Notorious Football Hooligans by Andrew Woods focuses on the fights between the two firms, from the perspective of Millwall's Bushwackers.[173] Sunday Mirror columnist Mike Calvin spent the 2009–10 season covering Millwall's Play-off promotion, writing the book Family: Life, Death and Football. The beginning extensively features the rivalry and the stabbing of a Millwall supporter before the 2009 Upton Park riot game.[174] Millwall vs West Ham: il derby della working class londinese (English, The London Working Class Derby) is a 2014 Italian book on the rivalry by Luca Manes. It chronicles the derby from its inception, declaring it to be one of the most feared matches in world football.[175]

Footnotes

  1. ^ Millwall Rovers were renamed Millwall Athletic in 1889.
  2. ^ Five other contests in 1900, 1902, 1919, 1926 and 1929 were played, abandoned and not completed due to fog and bad light. In 1930 there was an alteration in the London FA Challenge Cup, the rule "Clubs must play their strongest elevens" was deleted. After that, the competition was considered to be for reserves and the six games between the clubs after that date are not classed as first-team games.
  3. ^ Reader played at youth level for West Ham United and did not make a first team appearance.
