Initially, their mob were just known as "Yobs". It wasn't until that PO semi against us... and with acknowledgement to Graham Richards... that they became "officially" known as "The Brainless Maniacs". 👀 There was a time when Millwall attended games in doctor's scrubs and called themselves "Treatment".

Hadn't taken a proper look at that pic, but now you mention it, and looking again, that's definitely him. 👍 After being a bit scary (to me/us) when we first started on the Felix buses, it turned out that Ilson mob were a bloody good set of lads on there... and I always felt a bit safer when they were around! 🤣 Happy days, 'n all that! 👍🐏 Oh... and as for your cheeky comment at the end... erm...

Ah yes... I'd also forgotten he worked the doors! I started drinking "Up town" after shacking up with my missus (Ilson lass), so the latter 80's by then. Bumped into him a few times on the doors (Market Inn?), now you mention it! Getting a welcoming handshake and a smile from the bouncer is quite the VIP treatment to a pussycat like me! 🤣 NottsRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN747 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 My chum Orbrey (not his real name to protect his identity) was a hooli in the 80s - he was always involved in some bru ha ha's with the chaps from daan Landon or Oup Norf- i remember once he was rucking with some of the nice chaps known as the zulu's from West Bromwich or somewhere. They were having a dust up in a local park when they all got slightly too close to the local swans- well with it being mating season and all that these said large white birds went into attack mode dragging poor Orbrey and one of the zulu's into the pond. Ive not seen him since , must check he got home ok. Anyway please heed the warning and don't go near swans , they can break a humans arm when pushed. If he ever resurfaces he'd be a good one for you interview. Probably best not meet him at Darley park or anywhere where there is significant bird life...

GB SPORTS Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 3 hours ago, Henrycav81 said: Garth was a big hard fecker, Walt’s best mate seemed to be a lad called Haggis but your right they were a good set of lads Went to tech (ilson)with Garth late 70's. Went to watch Forest/Derby in the infamous Boxing Day game 78 with the Ilson mob at Garth's invitation. Ended up in the Trent End then chucked out after the rucks started. We hung round Notts for the next two hours, having a few pints before heading back towards the station. Got herded onto the Ramaway by the police (just to get us out of Nottingham as quickly as possible). Not wanting to go all the way to Derby a plan was hatched that someone would pull the emergency cord just before Long Eaton and with luck we would stop more or less at the platform. After much harsh debate, as to who and exactly when the cord should be pulled we had already passed through Long Eaton before the said act took place. Fortunately the train stopped exactly on Sawley Road Level crossing and we piled out and began the longer walk back to Ilkeston. About 8.30 by the time we got back to The Market inn. Safe to say, being a bit of a Wuss i never went with them to another game again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
