Six decades of Cardiff City v Millwall matches

Last updated : 24 October 2014 By Paul Evans

60’s. This man started an eight year career with Millwall (during which he appeared against City many times) in 1967 and was once an unused sub in a full England international during that time – who is he?

70’s. Who was Nottingham Forest’s Player of the Year in 1976/77 as voted for by their supporters – a few clues, he was born in Cardiff, scored for Forest in a game against Millwall and I was in the same year as him in Cantonian High School!

80’s.  Can you identify this Millwall player from the 80’s from these quotes?

“It was a month I look back on with good memories. I once scored from a corner and played against …………., which was quite interesting. I stayed away from him as much as possible!”

(David Beckham talking about his time on loan at Preston)

and

“Some of us [Millwall players] were playfully goading ……. about what he was going to do to Vinnie Jones in the upcoming fixture with Wimbledon. Without saying a word, he got up from the table and walked to the entrance of the pub and ripped the door off its hinges.”

(Tony Cascarino)

90’s. This Millwall player scored the last goal in English league football of the twentieth century and also got a red card while playing for them against Cardiff a few years later, can you name him?

00’s. He won twenty six caps for his country, scored a winning goal for them at Wembley and played for five different Premier League clubs, but he was only an unused sub in a 0-0 draw between Millwall and City at the New Den during this decade – name the player I’m talking about.

10’s. He played in both games against us for Millwall in 12/13 and shares his name with someone who finished in the top ten at this year’s British Open – he’s also been booked forty three times and sent off seven times despite only having played something like 150 matches in his career so far, who am I talking about?
