For more than twenty years Tiny (real name Ian Garwood) was the ‘big daddy’ of the ground, keeping young fans in line and watching out for the rest of the pride if any trouble flared up. His new work explores football hooliganism through petrifying portraits of the football firm leaders themselves.The Shed End Forum relies on revenue to pay for hosting and upgrades. While we try to keep adverts as unobtrusive as possible, we need to show these to make sure we can stay online and continue to keep the forum running. Over the years costs have become very high. There is a written piece in the exhibition catalogue by my brother and co-collaborator on this project that talks to each of the guys about what was going on in their life at the time.

Being 56 years of age now, I remember CBL also as the scariest place to be (or not to be) in the 80s. Went with other German Blues to the match and were surrounded by little rats of them (aged 15 or 16) with stanley knives and other tools. Managed to get out of this place, but it was scary there and no Old Bill to be seen for miles. Cass Pennant has become a particularly prolific author and publisher and is now moving into film production. IIRC, it was a protest about Jimmy Nicholl, their manager at the time. It was supposed to be a peaceful protest but predictably descended into chaos.Believe it was put into place after a full scale riot in 2002 (and I mean including outside, not just stadium) when they lost in playoffs v Birmingham. I remember having a chat with someone who went to Chelsea games but he actually supported another team " The fighting was better with Chelsea." Ex army.. pyscho squad. We were finally allowed out with the police clearing and closing off all streets before letting us walk down them. They took us to the train station and that was that. Fellow Millwall fan, Kevin Downey, 55, knew Tiny since the mid-seventies and said despite his name he was “larger than life”. “He was quite a comedian – “he’d always make you laugh,” he said fondly. “When you walked in the room he’d put a smile on your face.”

I was at a late 90s game at the New Den, City lost, there was unrest at the club and a demo planned to protest against their then Chairman Peter Mead, of the gun manufacturers. Although the men pictured all had different stories to tell about how they got involved in trouble, there was one common theme.Now I seem to remember that the match you are talking about was a midweek game as it was rearranged after the death of Diana. Brilliant documentary & this is real Millwall not spotty underdeveloped kids who'd have trouble spitting on their bottom lip.

Riaz Khan of Leicester’s Baby Squad said: "Being part of a firm gave you that sense of belonging. I was always on the fringes when I was at school. I never belonged to any sub-culture or gang because I was Asian. When I was at school, racism was rife and gangs of boneheads would chase us just because of the colour of our skin.

If it's the former then it is definitely not said walkway- was only installed in 2002 in any case and I've got a feeling that's before 2002- so highly unlikely to be the walkway.
