Saw Derby v Millwall at the Old Den in old second division, early 1987 (Derby won the league that year, I think. At least won promotion.)
Back when the grounds were fenced in and hooliganism was at its worst.
Canterbury Bulldogs supporters seemed like gentlemen by comparison.
A 1-0 win to the Rams! Derby were indeed champions that season, two promotions on the trot.
Interesting to look at the 1st Division of that season. The top half of the table included Norwich (5th), Wimbledon (6th), Luton (7th), Watford (9th) and Coventry (10th).
And Harry Redknapp took Bournemouth to the 3rd Division championship - the first time they'd ever reached the 2nd Division.
