something just perfect for you. Our first guest is a
(04:05):
former Lion who played as a midfielder. He's a proud
at a local Shoman and began his football journey as
an apprentice at Arsenal. Though he faced some challenges in
breaking into the Galler's first team, his passion for the
game took him to various clubs and the best club
that he ever come to was when he joined Millwall
in July and nineteen eighty seven. Trips to Bradford City
(04:30):
followed in January nineteen ninety one. He also enjoyed playing
in Scotland Veridrionians and in non league football for the
not too far away dulliche Hamlet. Well, we're excited to
welcome him. Hello Wesley Raid.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Thank you, amos very kind. Hello everyone, I'm really pleased
to be here. I'm very grateful whom he wish good evening.
Hello Wesson.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We've all said hello to you where and that was
really wonderful. But it is great to have you back game.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You are such a familiar figure on match days alongside.
You're a lounge buddy, ye, what would you say to fans?
How would you sell the new lounges to fans?
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Depending what the fans point of view is from from
my perspective, there's two ways to look at it. We
did need the lounges upgrading, you know, to attract new people.
It was great we had our old regulars coming regularly
and regularly, but to have an injection of new people
(05:40):
coming week in, week out, your facilities need to be
top class really and by having that as we've got
now over the past four or five games, a lot
of people who have came I've never seen before, and
when I speak to them, they tell me, you know,
we've heard about the lounges and how good it is,
so we've come. So we've got this inject of new
(06:00):
people coming, which brings new money into the club, and
it just helps us on the snowboard effect.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
It trickles up to the manager eventually for his budget
for the squad. For the ones who liked it the
way it was, I I do see it.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
You know.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
He had a great atmosphere. It was what you would
call a millwall land. But if we're going to go
forward and compete with others and have people come through
the door. We needed to update the round and the
facility is a first clart.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
They are as you know. I was there with the
likes of Katie Chapman, mister Bremner himself, yeah, old Jamie
Murray and they were all really struck by the changes
that they saw there and that's brilliant. And I enjoyed
the food as well, so that something's right.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
Yeah, that's the main thing. You know, a lot of people,
a lot of it can be corporate at times, aim
and so the people who come through the door may
not necessarily be meal Wall supporters. But if they enjoyed
us surrounding the food and that, then it's still a
positive for us. It's still a positive. You can be
a Chelsea fan. There was a Sheffild United fan there
on Tuesday. I was speaking to him. Absolutely loved it.
(07:13):
He'll be coming back, he said with his son.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, well after Sheffield United playing it, I can't understand it.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Yeah, exactly Over to you, Dave.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
I soon to remember you telling us post your footballing
days has to represented England that tournaments in Asia. Yes,
can you remind us, what you did there and how
are you still involved in that competition.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
There's something called a Senior World Cup which is held
out in Thailand and it originally stemmed from when there
was the earthquakes and ts armies in Thailand, so there
was a lot of devastation and the idea was to
bring a tournament of football so the local region could
(08:07):
have an influx of people that would inject money into
the area, and that was in about two thousand and six.
I think I went in twenty nineteen and basically it's
actually a really well organized tournament, some great teams. I'm
(08:27):
not still involved, but I still look at Barry Howe's
ex Millwall he goes still he went this year. The
lineup for this year was the USA, Iran, Thailand, England, Australia,
New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Paraguaya and Uruguaya, so they
(08:48):
were the teams out playing for it this year and
once again England managed to win it, which was another
great feat and it just brings local tourism to the
areas that are out there. Of the money donated goes
towards school children, helping with books and equipment for them.
In whichever schools are designated seemed to be fit to
receive the money.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
M That sounds a great competition there to be involved with.
It was a real shame to see that the Doc
passed last season. Yeah, and what I turned out by
you and your teammates in memory of that man who
took us up to the top flight. Do you have
(09:30):
any fond memories of the Doc and you'd like to
share with us?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah? There were so many. But what what always sticks
in my mind, whether I'm with the lads or I'm
on my own, and just you saying it now reminds
me if you remember the old Den. Yeah, around the pitch.
When we did training, we would have to run around
the pitch itself, and Doc would be in the in
(09:56):
the dugats, and you'd have your your terryer locks, your
Alan Walker's that the older sort of players. As we're
running around, we perfected this sort of image of us
really pumping our arms and pumping our legs as we
ran past Doc, so it looked like we was really
running fast. When we got to the bottom corner about
(10:18):
fifty yards away, Terry chat right, slow down, now, boys,
he can't see and tell because back then, you didn't
have GPS vests, you know, Dot, We'd just be looking
at you and gauging how fast your arms and legs
were moving. And we did that. I mean I was
at the club three years. We did that for probably
most of the time I was there. And then when
(10:40):
Dot left, I was at Bradford. We had a conversation
once in his room and we were talking about me
or warming, et cetera. Then he turns around to me
and he says, you know what I We're gonna let
you know so you can tell the others. I always
knew you a lot were cheating me. That's why I
never gave you many days off. That was just typical Dot.
That's not thinking. We had one over him, and he
(11:01):
was like, oh, you run really well there, Lad's good, well,
well done, well done. But the man was a legend
to a lot of people. He really was. He was
a he was a father figure to us. He really
more than just a football manager. He was someone that
he really looked after.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
You.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
I don't know, it's hard to quantifying words, but when
I hear that man's name, it just brings a lump
to my throat.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
As Fames. I totally agree with you there.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Yeah, so sad that he passed, So sad, but he's
left a wonderful legacy for us. Hopefully there will be
someone in the future that hopefully the near future, that
will you know, be on the same pedestal as him
and get us to the considered holy growl. But what
Doc did for us in that two years, Wow, incredible
(11:49):
and it stands a test of time. It's not happened since.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
No no, no.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Highways this is and how you doing good? Thanks beyond
Brian Horn.
Speaker 10 (12:02):
How often do you still stay in touch with your
former teammates from that day?
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Oh well, we're on well literally every day really, and
I mean literally every day. We're on a WhatsApp group.
We have been for four years. It's about from memory
is about twenty two of us from Keith Stevens in Australia,
Teddy Me, Sean spar and, Brian Horn, Alan McCleary, Alan Walker,
(12:30):
Ian Dawes, David Thompson, Steve and Trebus, Alan Dowson, Neil Ruddock,
George Lawrence. We're all on the what's happened between conversations
that go on you probably see about fifteen to twenty
notifications a day from different people talking about different things.
(12:50):
So yeah, we keep being regular, regular contact, which is
why we had such a great turnout for Doc. It
wasn't something difficult to say, right, lads, we're turning up
in November, we're going to celebrate this great man and
you've got to be there. And everyone was there.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
Yeah, it was great to see you all down there
that day.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was great to be there
as well.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
When you then signed for Bradford, was it the Doc
who took you there?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Yes, it was because about the time nineteen ninety I
had had a bad knee and the surgeons at the
time were telling me to retire. And back then I
don't know if it's the same still, but if you
saw three surgeons and they all confirmed that you needed
to retire, then you could be retired. I had seen
(13:38):
two and they said to me, well it's not going
to get any better, et cetera, et cetera. And when
Doc took over at Bradford, he found out there was
this well known surgeon in Leeds General Hospital that did
operations which was similar to what I needed. So he said, look,
come if the gentleman can fix youate, than fine. If
(14:01):
you can't, you give it a good try. And I did.
I went, I signed up for Bradford and the gentleman
managed to get an extra four five years playing out
of me. So I was also very grateful for Dodford
that as well. Really grateful. Reintegrated and rekicked my football life.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Great evening.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
Where's tidy Ted?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I'm all right mate?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (14:25):
I'm very good? Thank you? Lovely to hear your voice.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
Oh I don't know about that, mate. There's lots of
people that I ain't back with marvels in the other room.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Miss.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Anyway, that's another story. Remind us did you come to
see the light and get signed by the Lions?
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Oh gosh it was to cut a long story short.
So I'm from Peckham and I still live in Peckham.
I spent most of my life here except when I
played Footbah and moved away. So I was trapped in
from Peckham to Highbury from about eight years of age.
So I think I first went to Highbury in seventy
(15:07):
six seventy seven. One of my best mates was called
Trevor Booker. He lived in Peckham as well, but he
signed for Millwall. So I'd been going from Arsenal from
about seventy six seventy seven, and obviously George had been
the manager at Millwall. And I don't know the four
(15:28):
winds of out of this, but there had been some
rumors that some players weren't really adheering to Georgie's standards
while at the club, et cetera. So when George took
over at Arsenal, he called me into his office and
I would have been about seventeen, I think, and he
said to me, look, I'd like you to move out
(15:50):
of Peckham and move over to this side of London,
over to North London. And I had this conversation with
George and I lived with my mum hadn't been very well,
and you know, I've never been any trouble and art
see anyone. But George, as you may or may not know,
had his own way. He had his way of doing things,
which was fair enough. I went and spoke to him Mum.
(16:13):
I said, look, Mum, he wants me to move over
to North London and she said, look, that's what you
want to do. Do, so I did. I moved over
to Diggs, which seems strange considering I lived in Peckham
and I was moving to Digs in North London. But
I stayed for a couple of days and I just thought,
I can't do this. I want to play football and
I want to be a footballer, but I can't. I
(16:34):
can't leave my mum. You know that that would just
be something in my in my estimation, that just wouldn't
be right, you know, to leave everything for mum. So
the Digs I was staying in, I said to him, look,
I'm going back home. And eventually George called me in
and said to me that you've left the Digs. Why
and explained to him again, my mum's on her own.
(16:56):
I'd rather not. I'm quite happy in Peckham, blah blah.
And he said you're either going to do it my
way or no way. And I got up and I
shook his hand and said, I just can't do it
your way. And I think that was on a Thursday afternoon,
and on the Friday morning Bob Pearson had found out
your registration goes to a central place when you signed
(17:17):
for or leave a club. And Bob rang me up
the next day and said, look, come and signed for
me a Wall, so I went and signed for me
a Wall.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Well, George Graham was looking after meal Wall, getting him money.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Yeah, well, yeah, it was just a strange thing because
I know George done really really well at meal Wall,
you know, and he's held in high esteem as well.
I spoke to George a few times since after this,
but he just had his way of doing things and
if you didn't comply, then you was out the door.
(17:49):
And fair play to him. He offered me the chance
to try again, and I just couldn't. I just couldn't
leave my mum. So there's no hard feelings.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I'll get what you're saying is it's uh, you know
your mum comes first without.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Yeah, because you know what, there was no guarantee that
life was going to be however I thought it would
have been. You know, I could have had a bad injury,
fell out of love with it, and I would have
left my mum for something that wouldn't have materialized, and
she would always be my mum, She'd always be for me,
So you know, I just thought I'd choose her.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
My mum couldn't keep me out quick enough.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
But that's not the case.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Where he's gone away I've recently moved down Invincible, but
on the last home going because I had the pleasure
of coming up on train with a certain Trevor a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
I know he was because he went into the land
and whatever. I also came back on the train with
him as well. But okay, in the conversations were having,
I've said, many players and he was one of them,
described their minial experience the eyelight of their careers despite
I mean Trevor, oh god, I think he had a
list of about a hundred different clubs, like, yeah, he
(19:04):
said nothing compared to Millwall and his strange how many
of you always signed it?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Yeah? Percent? The twenty names are that I mentioned earlier,
that's on the WhatsApp group if you ask each and
every of them who had gone to play on for
a wide range of different clubs. Sorry Cascarino and Steve
Wood they're on it as well. They're coming to mind.
You think of all the players from that eighty seven
(19:30):
to ninety era that have gone your teddies, who have
gone on to play for your big clubs, United, Tottenham
and other established Premiership clubs. We all say, for whatever
reason that Millwall is the one club that sticks in
your mind, and when you think of your time during
(19:50):
your meal all days, it just brings pleasurable faults. You know,
the whole environment, the players who you played with, the
club itself, doc et cetera, people who worked at the club.
It just brings a sort of a utopia type feeling.
You just feel, Wow, that was the pinnacle of any
(20:11):
football career I could have.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
You know, that's fans where it's really like to think
it's because of the wonderful names we call you while
you're playing.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
What you're saying, you know, even like you say, whether
it's good or bad encouragement, it just I think one
of the words that sticks to mind it was just real.
It was a time in life that was real. You know,
you was out there, you were playing football. You knew
you were working for a set of fans that appreciated it,
and if you did well, you were entitled to get applaudits,
(20:47):
and if you didn't do so well, you're also entitled
to receive the negative feedback. And you were pleased with that.
You know, you took that on the chin and you
just felt that it was a time in my life. Person,
and I know the others feel its way that it
can never be replicated. I don't know why, because I'm
a local lad and a lot of them aren't local,
(21:08):
but they still feel the same.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Yeah, I feel I always feel a bit sorry for
Bill Wolf fans because sometimes, unfortunately our encouragement is mistaken
for abuse and a really come out like that.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
No, no, not not often, especially in the last few games.
It's been really good encouragement.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Oh yeah, yes, it's brilliant. What do you reckon of
the side at the moment with wow? Scrupt? Sorry? Mate,
I think we've got, you know, in Alex Neil. I
think we've got someone who can actually get us to
where we want to go.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Well, I did me all pre season campaign in Spain,
so I looked after them for a week out in
the Torre and it just meant that I was involved in,
you know, every they wanted, making sure they had everything
they needed at the training ground, things they needed, etc.
And I spent a bit of time talking with Alex
and watching him, and I was just so impressed. I
(22:11):
was just so impressed by his methodical pinpoint. Everything had
to be a certain way, and as a player trying
to put an ex player's head on. You look at that,
and then there's no doubt from the players what is
required of them and what is needed, and then you
can gauge how well you are doing, as opposed to
(22:34):
a player saying a manager saying sorry, just go out
and play. That's quite vague to a player because you
can try and beat four men, lose the ball and walk.
But Alex has got it, so everyone knows exactly what
they're doing. I suppose all managers have that, but his
in depth knowledge really impressed me, really really impressed me.
I remember telling my mates when I came back, we're
(22:56):
going to do so well if we just keep pushing
on and keep pushing on. I do think he will,
if there's going to be a manager get us to
the premiership.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
That's nice to be ear.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
I do, honestly, I really really do. The man's methodical
and he is. He's so tactically. He's spot on. He's
spot on.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But there is another side of your Mills story that
I want to expose. I saw a Lion center. I
remember he was there with the old Jeanne Luca. Yeah,
event and a partner. And I'm sure you've been involved
in other things. Yeah, you are a great supporter, so
Sean Daily tells.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Me, Yeah, it actually stems from when I was at
the club because I was injured and I had quite
a few operations and I was out a lot. I
did a lot of work for a gentleman called Gary Stemple,
who was the equivalent to Sean day is now in
the community. And that was before you know, we were
(24:03):
quote a fashionable club, you know the name in Millwall
in the late eighties early nineties. Unfortunately put terror into
people as opposed to welcoming arms. So there was a
big initiative about going in schools and doing coaching, and
because I had a lot of spare time being injured,
I put myself forward for that and I really enjoyed it.
(24:24):
I was able to help within my own community. As
I said, I live locally, so it just makes sense
that I support the community that I live in, you know,
and things that happen in the community scheme. If I
can help Shan in any sort of way, I'm initially
always one hundred percent up for it.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's right, right, good to see both in the past
coming forward to those now itself. Yeah, less is a
good thing as well.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Yeah, I mean, I mean you know what a lot
of us who have received not only over the years
five nights for you playing for the club or working
at the club, but also received the want from people
around the club, within the community, you know, the adulation,
et cetera. So the minimum, the minimum you can do
is give something back, you know, and if Jennifer you
(25:18):
can give his time, then so be it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, that's brilliant Sun, Well done, mate, well done. I'll
go you back to Ted now because he's he's feeling
that he needs to speak to you.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Again, and I'm happy to speak to Ted again.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
I don't know if you know, but we do what
is called my Ted's Prediction League, which I guess I've
got to predict three games from this coming week's Championship fixtures. Right,
So this week, where as I've picked out obviously beloved
lines first own to Leicester, So what do you reckon
the score is going to be with that game? Where is.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I think hopefully we're going to keep the goal scoring
run going, But I do also think that Lester have
a goal in them. So I'm going to go to
one Millwall. Do you know what?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Where's great Minds finger night? Because I'm not so sure about,
because after the results the other night, I've gone a
different way. But anyway is in Swig who have been
pretty disappointing this year at home to West Brom who
haven't been exactly ripping things up. But it was Rich
versus West Brom.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Wiz, I see both teams not wanting to lose, so
a bit of a tentative game. I've gone for a draw,
maybe a one all draw draw.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Yeah, and the last one in brigs me a little
bit because I couldn't work out whether Stoke with that
bed or we was that good look the other night,
and I've just assumed that we were that good because
Stok are right up there. Yeah, but I've gone with Potsmith.
I think they were always a bit of a different
proposition at home. I'm to Stoke.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
I to see that one game I see similar to
how I think we'll bb Leicester. I see a two
to one to Portsmouth.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
To want to Portsmouth.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Do you know what was?
Speaker 8 (27:07):
I think they and you're using the same brain because
I think, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You're only both operating on fifty. Yeah that's great, that
was great for those predictions.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Thank you.

the improvement. Paul Loading, who's in Hawaii at the moment,
(30:27):
send us this report on the Mineral Romans and Pride update.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Hi, It'sportlading at the mill Or Romans with a quick
update for the week and So. After last week's iconic
game which saw the Romans play Man versus Fact, we've
obviously been good friends of these guys for about five
years now. They've always been challenging us for a game
and I'm pleased to say that we that the Romans
took the game five to two against Man versus Fact.
(30:55):
It was quite a feisty one, so I understand. But yeah,
that was a that was iconic on occasion for us.
This weekend, we've entered this year the j PERCENT Shield,
led by Pete de Russo. He's heading up the team
on Saturday this week as we head to Bristol to
play our first away game of the season in the
j P Shield.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
That's a Saturday against.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Bristol away and predictions this week Millwall less than Millwall,
cracking results for them at the moment. They're going to
staff Lesster three nil switch versus West Brom I think
that's going to be one all and Portsmouth versus Stoke
one nil to Portsmouth.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Oh that's all good news as well, and enjoy yourself
in a y until you return anyway. The Lionesses hosted
Estra Town League Action last Sunday and mill Community Trust.
Ki Bennett shares the story for Maritime Radio.
Speaker 12 (31:56):
It's Kyle Bennett reports him for Maritime Radio. Millones has
made it four wins in a row as they beat
Ashford Town six nil at S Paul's Sports Ground on Sunday.
The first goal came off just forty one seconds else
for a Gup broke away down the left hand side
before putting the ball in the box with the ash
for Town defender turning it home from close range. The
second goal came just after half hour, Elsa again running
(32:18):
down the wing before she put the ball into the
box for mere Lockett to calmly finish to make it
two nil after thirty two minutes. The third goal came
just before the break Kaneita threw up with a lovely
bit of skill after putting the ball in the box
and Cada Town's in headed home to make it three
for the break. It was four just after the restart,
Elsa finally getting her goal to make it six in
(32:41):
three games against their opponents. Kaneita Throp made it five
then six, the first goal a nice finish into the
bottom right hand corner, before a lovely goal for the sixth.
She got the ball on the edge of the box
before firing it into the top right hand corner Ted
Jones's side to run out six NOL winners. The next
(33:02):
up for Ted Jones's side is the Big FA Cup
game first round of the f A Cup this Sunday
at Some Paul Sports Ground two pm against Sheltontown.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Danny Joss Paul, Yeah, that was a good, good result there.
They put six past Ashford Town. This is a team
that dropped from the league above them. I hope it
bodes well for that match against Shelton Town. Is it?
It's where you go from watch the altar, isn't it said? Yeah,
(33:34):
I couldn't. I couldn't get over the I couldn't get
over the fence on that one. That's life for it,
right so keep up there winning streak. This Sunday. Then
at St Paul Sports Ground, brother I against Cheltenhamtown. As
it says, in the first round proper of the women's
fac Let's be helpful and yeah. When Saturday arrived, we
(33:57):
traveled to Queens Park Rangers hoops on a day dedicated
to celebrating the life of former QPR and mill manager
the Lake Gordon Jago. Wreaths were placed in the center
circle by both teams. Millwill board member Trevor Keyes placed
our wreath ahead of the kickoff, and as I shared
(34:19):
an event with him at the game against Stoke, I
said to him, you've done that very well, Trevor. He said, oh,
you noticed I was there. I said, yes, you were
carrying the reef. Oh he said, yes, that's right. Anyway,
Now for something new, what we're going to do is
we're going to have a talk about that game and
I've got a question for each one of you to answer.
(34:43):
It's a different questions to each of you, but I'll
start off with Ted. And Ted, last week you were
on the show and I recollect me saying that a
couple of teams had I suppose held Queens Park Rangers
back by flagging their defense extremely well and holding them
(35:06):
off and they both got draws out of it. Do
you think that's what we set off with Alex on Saturday?
Speaker 8 (35:14):
I think if you know anyone that was at the
game and see the game, you could see the QPR.
We're in obviously on a good run of form. They're
not a bad side, poor side at all. But we've
got a very good back four. You know, Crame has
been an absolute revelation to me. He was good last
(35:35):
season as a right back, but he's certainly an even
better center after me. And he's a perfect fall for
Cooper because Coops he's not the quickest on two feet,
and I think Kramer covers the ground pretty quickly. But
with the old heads of Cooper and Leonard, with Kramer
(35:55):
and young Zach Sturge there, I think we've got a
very good for I felt so sorry for a long
ago though, aim And when he got injured because he
was the guy that was sitting in front and picking
up all the pieces and making it difficult. And we've
Billy Mitchell, who has also been a revelationist season to me,
(36:16):
like you know, with his energy and also he's passing
it was. I think there probably was a tactic there
to try and sit and hit him on the brake,
and to be to be fair, I don't think we
played our best football, but it showed exactly what we
are at this moment in time, which is a very
(36:37):
difficult side to be who and now are getting that
bit more creative at the other end of the pitch
than what they was last season. I believe if Fingers
crossed that we can keep disease and both him and
Bellow fit because they both give us that width. And
thankfully Ivanovitch got off the mark and hopefully he goes
(36:59):
on the goalst on. But I think coming back to
the question which was about whether we sat, as just mentioned,
I think Alex Neil does his own work on teams
as well, because there was a lot of man for
man marking going on, and I think there was a
definite emphasis on stopping them from playing through the middle
if you like, which we You know, it was a
(37:22):
two to one win that should have been perhaps a
bit easier than to one, but we'd always take that
where it was a good battling performance and a little
quick mention that the goalkeeper and made an outstanding save
in the first minute of the game, which you know,
we could have made a complete difference if they had
gone in so quick mention here as we were talking
about it back forth.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, we'll have a chat about goalkeepers when we reviewed
the start game. But Dave, for you, who was the
I suppose dying a mode that was directing that game.
Speaker 9 (38:00):
Well, it's difficult to actually point out a mid a controller,
a midfield dynamite's there was a lot of different people
affecting the game. Disease on the wing was a pain
for the for the their defense. And Billy Mitchell to me,
(38:25):
was an absolute gem. He's he's picking up players with
long balls and was absolutely wonderful. So for someone of
his age, he's actually grown his statue in Marview and
it's becoming a really good player. And I think he
could be the one that could be that player moving on.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, I think he got he's got an opportunity to
do that, There's no doubt about it. So Asease was well,
basically looking as if he was on fire. It wasn't
probably any way to describe that. But how do you
see the rise or the return rather and.
Speaker 13 (39:13):
The of.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
And man Ivanovitch.
Speaker 10 (39:17):
I thought that's the first game he started looking like him,
his old self.
Speaker 14 (39:21):
Was it.
Speaker 10 (39:22):
Really It's great toe him pop up with a goal.
But he's working hard as well. You know, the goals
haven't come yet, but he's you see, he's putting in
the effort.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, so he's trying and he's moving and he managed
to get that. I suppose goal at all strikers want
to get and tuck it in with his head as
it bounced through to him in the clear space of
the goalkeeper and into the net. Right. So, Tuesday, buoyed
(39:54):
by that win at Loftus Road, we faced another high
flying team that occupied a championship slot above US, Stoke City.
Then all of us on the show last week said, yeah,
it was going to be a win for Milwall. Did
you think it was going to be as easy as
(40:17):
it really? Pound down?
Speaker 8 (40:21):
I think, as I said to Wez earlier regarding the
Stoke I see the interview with Mark Robbins afterwards, and
as any manager is, I suppose he was berating his
side about how they played and what they didn't do
and whatever. But I've got to say that first half
against Stoke for me, is the best I've seen Millwall
(40:41):
played for quite some time and it was no surprise.
I suppose that mainly the threat was coming from either wing,
with Bellow, who I thought was absolutely on fire, and
I heard that they gave men at a match to
a disease. But who was good but fought Ballo. He's
(41:02):
been decent in the game so far, but I thought
he was exceptional against Stoke. That the fallback on Stoke,
he didn't know where he was. But I thought that
that first half as a complete performance was exceptional and
you have to take into the count aim. And we
started that game with a completely new midfield compared to
the Loftus road game, with Billy being ill with sickness
(41:26):
and for Masimo unfortunately out for the rest of the season.
With an acl now being came Caspar who came on
a loft Us but run out of steam, shall we say,
and somehow managed to keep going in that the full
game with at Stoke more or less to the right
at the end and the young French led dell boy
(41:46):
is is a revelation to he looks like he's been
a championship player for years, so it all bows well.
But I thought all round as a team performance. The
Stoke first forty five minutes is the best of the
season so far. It wasn't bad second off, but they
was just exceptional first.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Well, let you know that Kevin Bremner said if he'd
have been playing, we would have put six pas Stoke
and we had the opportunities and he pointed him out
to me every time. So there's got to be some
improvement if Kevin can pick out that sort of situation.
So let's say Kevin gets his message over to his
(42:26):
fellow scotsman Alex and they do better next time.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
Imaginally we'll get his message up.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Dave. Yes, the time, I suppose is interesting because this
was the second game that we've had young mister croc
well not young mister croc the older goalkeeper of the
too mister Crocam in golf for us, if he was
comparing contrasting Croakum and Bender, what would you say, Ah,
(43:03):
the best bits from each and perhaps they're not so
best bits for me?
Speaker 9 (43:09):
Well, personally it's just marveew I think that Crocam is
a better goalkeeper than Bender and ys older, but he
seems to have a bit more command of his area
and Bender doesn't seem to do that. I get very
(43:30):
nervous when we're on our back foot and balls are
coming into the area that there's going to be some
sort of slipwall. So it is a bit of a
contrast between the two. But what I had to mention
about the game on Tuesday night was that Cooper was
(43:50):
an absolute general in defense. He had that the back
four and the defense fully on it for the whole
of the game and was at the back for he
was the man that stood out above the rest. So
it was it's good to see that that's confidence in
(44:13):
our defense was visible. So yeah, that's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Okay, okay, where would you say we needed to improve
over those two games?
Speaker 10 (44:24):
And it feels a bit harsh, you know, after the
way we've improved. You know, it's Tuesday from Saturday. But
back to Ivanovitch, I think it would be good to
have some goals from strikers. I think, now we've got
the wingers, it's looking good putting the balls in and
you know, if I'm a little bit greedy, some goals
(44:45):
from midfield running into it.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
So you're definitely in the Bremner. Well, let's see what
happens when Saturday comes to the den and when we
host Leicester City, well they have a yo yod for
a few seasons between the Championship and the Premier League.
They're not performing as anticipated. They have drawn four of
(45:10):
their last six games, recorded one win at Swansea and
suffered a loss at Hole. We have won four of
our previous six, drawn at Swansea and lost severely at
home by four goals to Coventry who are at the
top of the league. Might you our injuries are mounting
a game, but do we have enough strength in depth
(45:31):
to make it four wins? On the spin, the books
had Leicester at eight to five to win, a draw
at nine to four, and a Millwall win at seven
to five. Tight odds, tight game. What's your reckon? Team
said over to you, and don't keep it.
Speaker 8 (45:47):
Too long now, I reckon that. It says it all
there in the statistics that they're not an easy side
to beat Leicester, But then they haven't been winning Minigue
and they lost that Hole the other night. But you
know it's Lester and there is still a big name
in this division. And that's when mill will come to
the four normally, And I've got my fingers crossed as
I'm saying that as a dumble to put the mocks
(46:09):
on them, but I do do fancies if we can
play anything like we did against Stoke, and I've gone
for a two to one win for the Lions.
Speaker 9 (46:16):
Yeah, great stuff, yes said, less than a top team.
They won the Premier League at some point, so they're
not to be sniffed at. But when you drop down
into the Championship, it's a different ball of wax. It's
(46:37):
a different game, so it's going to be type I think,
as said, it'll be a two to one win, two
one win.
Speaker 10 (46:46):
Okay, how about you and I for another home win
At the moment, I think we've been improving, you know,
the last three games, we've been improving with everyone, so
I fancally asked for a two home win.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Well, that's good stuff and hopefully that's exactly what we'll get.
As for me, I've managed to get the predictions from Bethany,
who was due to be on the show this evening
but due to not being so well, she sent the
(47:20):
predictions to me and she's gone for a two to
one win as well, so that's not too bad. So
interesting thoughts. Let's move on and talk about Ted, what
are you going to do and talk about? Now?
Speaker 8 (47:38):
Well, we're going on to the next two games of
for the Prediction League this week, the first one being
Ipswich versus West Brom. I for some reason, unbeknown to myself,
have put this down as a two two win two Ipswich.
But we said that they lost three milk Child the
other night, they might come out with a bit more
(47:59):
firing their belly on on Saturday. So what do you reckon? Andy?
Speaker 10 (48:05):
I got a tight game for this one.
Speaker 7 (48:07):
I've got a one all for that.
Speaker 8 (48:10):
Yeah, I think that's a bit more sensible. Dave, what
do you reagon?
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Yeah? I think.
Speaker 9 (48:18):
If such a little bit of hea day after the
defeat Word one and West Roe, they need to get
a win. So I'm going to go with a two
to one win to West Brom.
Speaker 8 (48:30):
Wo won West Brom from Dave? And what about Bethan
the Aimen.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
She's she's scored it as one one, she's.
Speaker 8 (48:38):
Gone one one. Okay, moving on the final game and
it's Portsmouth against Stoke and I haven't seeing Stoke the
other day. Won't be a talk surprise if they do
have a reaction for Portsmouth are quite tricky I hope.
So I've gone for a one on drawer.
Speaker 10 (48:55):
What do you reckon, Andy, I've gone for an away
win two one star, I can spokeing one and really
bounced back after Tuesday night.
Speaker 8 (49:03):
A gained a very good prediction. Now of you know,
we've done more predictions before the other night. I think
I would have gone like that. But anyway, Marthaul, Dave,
what's you reckon?
Speaker 15 (49:14):
Well?
Speaker 9 (49:15):
After seeing Stoke in the week, I think they're going
to get a one nil win at Portsmouth one nil win.
Speaker 8 (49:23):
Right, And finally, Bethany Amen, Yeah, Befany said to too.
To too with Befany, good dog.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
That's all the predictions, don So. We also have a
prediction from Nick whive T, best mate on the Facebook
mill sic side. Let's hear what Nick predicted.
Speaker 15 (49:46):
Hello, these are my predictions mill Will one Leicester one,
it switched to West brom one and Portsmouth one Stoke nil.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Thanks well, thanks Nick, you've put the cat amongst the
pigeons there with some of those predictions. Anyway, we must
thank Dave Hart who collates the results and produces the table.
But before we hear from Bethany Warren, we will listen
to this young lady.

(04:05):
former Lion who played as a midfielder. He's a proud
at a local Shoman and began his football journey as
an apprentice at Arsenal. Though he faced some challenges in
breaking into the Galler's first team, his passion for the
game took him to various clubs and the best club
that he ever come to was when he joined Millwall
in July and nineteen eighty seven. Trips to Bradford City
(04:30):
followed in January nineteen ninety one. He also enjoyed playing
in Scotland Veridrionians and in non league football for the
not too far away dulliche Hamlet. Well, we're excited to
welcome him. Hello Wesley Raid.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Thank you, amos very kind. Hello everyone, I'm really pleased
to be here. I'm very grateful whom he wish good evening.
Hello Wesson.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We've all said hello to you where and that was
really wonderful. But it is great to have you back game.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
You are such a familiar figure on match days alongside.
You're a lounge buddy, ye, what would you say to fans?
How would you sell the new lounges to fans?
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Depending what the fans point of view is from from
my perspective, there's two ways to look at it. We
did need the lounges upgrading, you know, to attract new people.
It was great we had our old regulars coming regularly
and regularly, but to have an injection of new people
(05:40):
coming week in, week out, your facilities need to be
top class really and by having that as we've got
now over the past four or five games, a lot
of people who have came I've never seen before, and
when I speak to them, they tell me, you know,
we've heard about the lounges and how good it is,
so we've come. So we've got this inject of new
(06:00):
people coming, which brings new money into the club, and
it just helps us on the snowboard effect.
Speaker 6 (06:07):
You know.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
It trickles up to the manager eventually for his budget
for the squad. For the ones who liked it the
way it was, I I do see it.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
You know.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
He had a great atmosphere. It was what you would
call a millwall land. But if we're going to go
forward and compete with others and have people come through
the door. We needed to update the round and the
facility is a first clart.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
They are as you know. I was there with the
likes of Katie Chapman, mister Bremner himself, yeah, old Jamie
Murray and they were all really struck by the changes
that they saw there and that's brilliant. And I enjoyed
the food as well, so that something's right.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
Yeah, that's the main thing. You know, a lot of people,
a lot of it can be corporate at times, aim
and so the people who come through the door may
not necessarily be meal Wall supporters. But if they enjoyed
us surrounding the food and that, then it's still a
positive for us. It's still a positive. You can be
a Chelsea fan. There was a Sheffild United fan there
on Tuesday. I was speaking to him. Absolutely loved it.
(07:13):
He'll be coming back, he said with his son.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, well after Sheffield United playing it, I can't understand it.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Yeah, exactly Over to you, Dave.
Speaker 9 (07:29):
I soon to remember you telling us post your footballing
days has to represented England that tournaments in Asia. Yes,
can you remind us, what you did there and how
are you still involved in that competition.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
There's something called a Senior World Cup which is held
out in Thailand and it originally stemmed from when there
was the earthquakes and ts armies in Thailand, so there
was a lot of devastation and the idea was to
bring a tournament of football so the local region could
(08:07):
have an influx of people that would inject money into
the area, and that was in about two thousand and six.
I think I went in twenty nineteen and basically it's
actually a really well organized tournament, some great teams. I'm
(08:27):
not still involved, but I still look at Barry Howe's
ex Millwall he goes still he went this year. The
lineup for this year was the USA, Iran, Thailand, England, Australia,
New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Paraguaya and Uruguaya, so they
(08:48):
were the teams out playing for it this year and
once again England managed to win it, which was another
great feat and it just brings local tourism to the
areas that are out there. Of the money donated goes
towards school children, helping with books and equipment for them.
In whichever schools are designated seemed to be fit to
receive the money.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
M That sounds a great competition there to be involved with.
It was a real shame to see that the Doc
passed last season. Yeah, and what I turned out by
you and your teammates in memory of that man who
took us up to the top flight. Do you have
(09:30):
any fond memories of the Doc and you'd like to
share with us?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah? There were so many. But what what always sticks
in my mind, whether I'm with the lads or I'm
on my own, and just you saying it now reminds
me if you remember the old Den. Yeah, around the pitch.
When we did training, we would have to run around
the pitch itself, and Doc would be in the in
(09:56):
the dugats, and you'd have your your terryer locks, your
Alan Walker's that the older sort of players. As we're
running around, we perfected this sort of image of us
really pumping our arms and pumping our legs as we
ran past Doc, so it looked like we was really
running fast. When we got to the bottom corner about
(10:18):
fifty yards away, Terry chat right, slow down, now, boys,
he can't see and tell because back then, you didn't
have GPS vests, you know, Dot, We'd just be looking
at you and gauging how fast your arms and legs
were moving. And we did that. I mean I was
at the club three years. We did that for probably
most of the time I was there. And then when
(10:40):
Dot left, I was at Bradford. We had a conversation
once in his room and we were talking about me
or warming, et cetera. Then he turns around to me
and he says, you know what I We're gonna let
you know so you can tell the others. I always
knew you a lot were cheating me. That's why I
never gave you many days off. That was just typical Dot.
That's not thinking. We had one over him, and he
(11:01):
was like, oh, you run really well there, Lad's good, well,
well done, well done. But the man was a legend
to a lot of people. He really was. He was
a he was a father figure to us. He really
more than just a football manager. He was someone that
he really looked after.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
You.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
I don't know, it's hard to quantifying words, but when
I hear that man's name, it just brings a lump
to my throat.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
As Fames. I totally agree with you there.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Yeah, so sad that he passed, So sad, but he's
left a wonderful legacy for us. Hopefully there will be
someone in the future that hopefully the near future, that
will you know, be on the same pedestal as him
and get us to the considered holy growl. But what
Doc did for us in that two years, Wow, incredible
(11:49):
and it stands a test of time. It's not happened since.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
No no, no.
Speaker 7 (11:56):
Highways this is and how you doing good? Thanks beyond
Brian Horn.
Speaker 10 (12:02):
How often do you still stay in touch with your
former teammates from that day?
Speaker 7 (12:05):
Oh well, we're on well literally every day really, and
I mean literally every day. We're on a WhatsApp group.
We have been for four years. It's about from memory
is about twenty two of us from Keith Stevens in Australia,
Teddy Me, Sean spar and, Brian Horn, Alan McCleary, Alan Walker,
(12:30):
Ian Dawes, David Thompson, Steve and Trebus, Alan Dowson, Neil Ruddock,
George Lawrence. We're all on the what's happened between conversations
that go on you probably see about fifteen to twenty
notifications a day from different people talking about different things.
(12:50):
So yeah, we keep being regular, regular contact, which is
why we had such a great turnout for Doc. It
wasn't something difficult to say, right, lads, we're turning up
in November, we're going to celebrate this great man and
you've got to be there. And everyone was there.
Speaker 10 (13:07):
Yeah, it was great to see you all down there
that day.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Yeah, yeah, it was. It was great to be there
as well.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
When you then signed for Bradford, was it the Doc
who took you there?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Yes, it was because about the time nineteen ninety I
had had a bad knee and the surgeons at the
time were telling me to retire. And back then I
don't know if it's the same still, but if you
saw three surgeons and they all confirmed that you needed
to retire, then you could be retired. I had seen
(13:38):
two and they said to me, well it's not going
to get any better, et cetera, et cetera. And when
Doc took over at Bradford, he found out there was
this well known surgeon in Leeds General Hospital that did
operations which was similar to what I needed. So he said, look,
come if the gentleman can fix youate, than fine. If
(14:01):
you can't, you give it a good try. And I did.
I went, I signed up for Bradford and the gentleman
managed to get an extra four five years playing out
of me. So I was also very grateful for Dodford
that as well. Really grateful. Reintegrated and rekicked my football life.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Great evening.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
Where's tidy Ted?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I'm all right mate?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (14:25):
I'm very good? Thank you? Lovely to hear your voice.
Speaker 8 (14:28):
Oh I don't know about that, mate. There's lots of
people that I ain't back with marvels in the other room.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Miss.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
Anyway, that's another story. Remind us did you come to
see the light and get signed by the Lions?
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Oh gosh it was to cut a long story short.
So I'm from Peckham and I still live in Peckham.
I spent most of my life here except when I
played Footbah and moved away. So I was trapped in
from Peckham to Highbury from about eight years of age.
So I think I first went to Highbury in seventy
(15:07):
six seventy seven. One of my best mates was called
Trevor Booker. He lived in Peckham as well, but he
signed for Millwall. So I'd been going from Arsenal from
about seventy six seventy seven, and obviously George had been
the manager at Millwall. And I don't know the four
(15:28):
winds of out of this, but there had been some
rumors that some players weren't really adheering to Georgie's standards
while at the club, et cetera. So when George took
over at Arsenal, he called me into his office and
I would have been about seventeen, I think, and he
said to me, look, I'd like you to move out
(15:50):
of Peckham and move over to this side of London,
over to North London. And I had this conversation with
George and I lived with my mum hadn't been very well,
and you know, I've never been any trouble and art
see anyone. But George, as you may or may not know,
had his own way. He had his way of doing things,
which was fair enough. I went and spoke to him Mum.
(16:13):
I said, look, Mum, he wants me to move over
to North London and she said, look, that's what you
want to do. Do, so I did. I moved over
to Diggs, which seems strange considering I lived in Peckham
and I was moving to Digs in North London. But
I stayed for a couple of days and I just thought,
I can't do this. I want to play football and
I want to be a footballer, but I can't. I
(16:34):
can't leave my mum. You know that that would just
be something in my in my estimation, that just wouldn't
be right, you know, to leave everything for mum. So
the Digs I was staying in, I said to him, look,
I'm going back home. And eventually George called me in
and said to me that you've left the Digs. Why
and explained to him again, my mum's on her own.
(16:56):
I'd rather not. I'm quite happy in Peckham, blah blah.
And he said you're either going to do it my
way or no way. And I got up and I
shook his hand and said, I just can't do it
your way. And I think that was on a Thursday afternoon,
and on the Friday morning Bob Pearson had found out
your registration goes to a central place when you signed
(17:17):
for or leave a club. And Bob rang me up
the next day and said, look, come and signed for
me a Wall, so I went and signed for me
a Wall.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Well, George Graham was looking after meal Wall, getting him money.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Yeah, well, yeah, it was just a strange thing because
I know George done really really well at meal Wall,
you know, and he's held in high esteem as well.
I spoke to George a few times since after this,
but he just had his way of doing things and
if you didn't comply, then you was out the door.
(17:49):
And fair play to him. He offered me the chance
to try again, and I just couldn't. I just couldn't
leave my mum. So there's no hard feelings.
Speaker 8 (17:59):
I'll get what you're saying is it's uh, you know
your mum comes first without.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Yeah, because you know what, there was no guarantee that
life was going to be however I thought it would
have been. You know, I could have had a bad injury,
fell out of love with it, and I would have
left my mum for something that wouldn't have materialized, and
she would always be my mum, She'd always be for me,
So you know, I just thought I'd choose her.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
My mum couldn't keep me out quick enough.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
But that's not the case.
Speaker 8 (18:32):
Where he's gone away I've recently moved down Invincible, but
on the last home going because I had the pleasure
of coming up on train with a certain Trevor a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
I know he was because he went into the land
and whatever. I also came back on the train with
him as well. But okay, in the conversations were having,
I've said, many players and he was one of them,
described their minial experience the eyelight of their careers despite
I mean Trevor, oh god, I think he had a
list of about a hundred different clubs, like, yeah, he
(19:04):
said nothing compared to Millwall and his strange how many
of you always signed it?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Yeah? Percent? The twenty names are that I mentioned earlier,
that's on the WhatsApp group if you ask each and
every of them who had gone to play on for
a wide range of different clubs. Sorry Cascarino and Steve
Wood they're on it as well. They're coming to mind.
You think of all the players from that eighty seven
(19:30):
to ninety era that have gone your teddies, who have
gone on to play for your big clubs, United, Tottenham
and other established Premiership clubs. We all say, for whatever
reason that Millwall is the one club that sticks in
your mind, and when you think of your time during
(19:50):
your meal all days, it just brings pleasurable faults. You know,
the whole environment, the players who you played with, the
club itself, doc et cetera, people who worked at the club.
It just brings a sort of a utopia type feeling.
You just feel, Wow, that was the pinnacle of any
(20:11):
football career I could have.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
You know, that's fans where it's really like to think
it's because of the wonderful names we call you while
you're playing.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
What you're saying, you know, even like you say, whether
it's good or bad encouragement, it just I think one
of the words that sticks to mind it was just real.
It was a time in life that was real. You know,
you was out there, you were playing football. You knew
you were working for a set of fans that appreciated it,
and if you did well, you were entitled to get applaudits,
(20:47):
and if you didn't do so well, you're also entitled
to receive the negative feedback. And you were pleased with that.
You know, you took that on the chin and you
just felt that it was a time in my life. Person,
and I know the others feel its way that it
can never be replicated. I don't know why, because I'm
a local lad and a lot of them aren't local,
(21:08):
but they still feel the same.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Yeah, I feel I always feel a bit sorry for
Bill Wolf fans because sometimes, unfortunately our encouragement is mistaken
for abuse and a really come out like that.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
No, no, not not often, especially in the last few games.
It's been really good encouragement.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
Oh yeah, yes, it's brilliant. What do you reckon of
the side at the moment with wow? Scrupt? Sorry? Mate,
I think we've got, you know, in Alex Neil. I
think we've got someone who can actually get us to
where we want to go.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Well, I did me all pre season campaign in Spain,
so I looked after them for a week out in
the Torre and it just meant that I was involved in,
you know, every they wanted, making sure they had everything
they needed at the training ground, things they needed, etc.
And I spent a bit of time talking with Alex
and watching him, and I was just so impressed. I
(22:11):
was just so impressed by his methodical pinpoint. Everything had
to be a certain way, and as a player trying
to put an ex player's head on. You look at that,
and then there's no doubt from the players what is
required of them and what is needed, and then you
can gauge how well you are doing, as opposed to
(22:34):
a player saying a manager saying sorry, just go out
and play. That's quite vague to a player because you
can try and beat four men, lose the ball and walk.
But Alex has got it, so everyone knows exactly what
they're doing. I suppose all managers have that, but his
in depth knowledge really impressed me, really really impressed me.
I remember telling my mates when I came back, we're
(22:56):
going to do so well if we just keep pushing
on and keep pushing on. I do think he will,
if there's going to be a manager get us to
the premiership.
Speaker 8 (23:06):
That's nice to be ear.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
I do, honestly, I really really do. The man's methodical
and he is. He's so tactically. He's spot on. He's
spot on.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But there is another side of your Mills story that
I want to expose. I saw a Lion center. I
remember he was there with the old Jeanne Luca. Yeah,
event and a partner. And I'm sure you've been involved
in other things. Yeah, you are a great supporter, so
Sean Daily tells.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Me, Yeah, it actually stems from when I was at
the club because I was injured and I had quite
a few operations and I was out a lot. I
did a lot of work for a gentleman called Gary Stemple,
who was the equivalent to Sean day is now in
the community. And that was before you know, we were
(24:03):
quote a fashionable club, you know the name in Millwall
in the late eighties early nineties. Unfortunately put terror into
people as opposed to welcoming arms. So there was a
big initiative about going in schools and doing coaching, and
because I had a lot of spare time being injured,
I put myself forward for that and I really enjoyed it.
(24:24):
I was able to help within my own community. As
I said, I live locally, so it just makes sense
that I support the community that I live in, you know,
and things that happen in the community scheme. If I
can help Shan in any sort of way, I'm initially
always one hundred percent up for it.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
That's right, right, good to see both in the past
coming forward to those now itself. Yeah, less is a
good thing as well.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Yeah, I mean, I mean you know what a lot
of us who have received not only over the years
five nights for you playing for the club or working
at the club, but also received the want from people
around the club, within the community, you know, the adulation,
et cetera. So the minimum, the minimum you can do
is give something back, you know, and if Jennifer you
(25:18):
can give his time, then so be it.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, that's brilliant Sun, Well done, mate, well done. I'll
go you back to Ted now because he's he's feeling
that he needs to speak to you.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Again, and I'm happy to speak to Ted again.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
I don't know if you know, but we do what
is called my Ted's Prediction League, which I guess I've
got to predict three games from this coming week's Championship fixtures. Right,
So this week, where as I've picked out obviously beloved
lines first own to Leicester, So what do you reckon
the score is going to be with that game? Where is.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
I think hopefully we're going to keep the goal scoring
run going, But I do also think that Lester have
a goal in them. So I'm going to go to
one Millwall. Do you know what?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Where's great Minds finger night? Because I'm not so sure about,
because after the results the other night, I've gone a
different way. But anyway is in Swig who have been
pretty disappointing this year at home to West Brom who
haven't been exactly ripping things up. But it was Rich
versus West Brom.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
Wiz, I see both teams not wanting to lose, so
a bit of a tentative game. I've gone for a draw,
maybe a one all draw draw.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Yeah, and the last one in brigs me a little
bit because I couldn't work out whether Stoke with that
bed or we was that good look the other night,
and I've just assumed that we were that good because
Stok are right up there. Yeah, but I've gone with Potsmith.
I think they were always a bit of a different
proposition at home. I'm to Stoke.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
I to see that one game I see similar to
how I think we'll bb Leicester. I see a two
to one to Portsmouth.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
To want to Portsmouth.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Do you know what was?
Speaker 8 (27:07):
I think they and you're using the same brain because
I think, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You're only both operating on fifty. Yeah that's great, that
was great for those predictions.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's a chance you could win a prize. Wow, if
Ted comes back to you then you'll know. In the meantime,
we appreciate you joining us. Wesley. We wish you and
yours all the best and buy for now, take care of.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
Thank you, thank you, Thanks Ted, Dave Andy Will take
care Yeah, cheers by thanks thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well that was always read. What a lovely bloke he
is and undoubtedly someone that loves Millwall from the day
or through the door. But it's mere who loves mill
Will two Hi.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
It's mail locket off Meal all Lionesses. We need as
many fans to come down to Saint Paul's Sports Ground

Many will be aware that Ellis Barr underwent an operation
to improve her mobility. If you've been on social media today,
you would have seen a new video featuring Ellis and
she's progressing well. She's continued to improve and no one

Thanks for your support along the way, it is now
time to hear what all the Merwell teams are up to.
Come on Newell, come on Memal and carry on as
well as you've been doing, Alice, It's great to see
the improvement. Paul Loading, who's in Hawaii at the moment,
(30:27):
send us this report on the Mineral Romans and Pride update.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Hi, It'sportlading at the mill Or Romans with a quick
update for the week and So. After last week's iconic
game which saw the Romans play Man versus Fact, we've
obviously been good friends of these guys for about five
years now. They've always been challenging us for a game
and I'm pleased to say that we that the Romans
took the game five to two against Man versus Fact.
(30:55):
It was quite a feisty one, so I understand. But yeah,
that was a that was iconic on occasion for us.
This weekend, we've entered this year the j PERCENT Shield,
led by Pete de Russo. He's heading up the team
on Saturday this week as we head to Bristol to
play our first away game of the season in the
j P Shield.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
That's a Saturday against.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Bristol away and predictions this week Millwall less than Millwall,
cracking results for them at the moment. They're going to
staff Lesster three nil switch versus West Brom I think
that's going to be one all and Portsmouth versus Stoke
one nil to Portsmouth.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Oh that's all good news as well, and enjoy yourself
in a y until you return anyway. The Lionesses hosted
Estra Town League Action last Sunday and mill Community Trust.
Ki Bennett shares the story for Maritime Radio.
Speaker 12 (31:56):
It's Kyle Bennett reports him for Maritime Radio. Millones has
made it four wins in a row as they beat
Ashford Town six nil at S Paul's Sports Ground on Sunday.
The first goal came off just forty one seconds else
for a Gup broke away down the left hand side
before putting the ball in the box with the ash
for Town defender turning it home from close range. The
second goal came just after half hour, Elsa again running
(32:18):
down the wing before she put the ball into the
box for mere Lockett to calmly finish to make it
two nil after thirty two minutes. The third goal came
just before the break Kaneita threw up with a lovely
bit of skill after putting the ball in the box
and Cada Town's in headed home to make it three
for the break. It was four just after the restart,
Elsa finally getting her goal to make it six in
(32:41):
three games against their opponents. Kaneita Throp made it five
then six, the first goal a nice finish into the
bottom right hand corner, before a lovely goal for the sixth.
She got the ball on the edge of the box
before firing it into the top right hand corner Ted
Jones's side to run out six NOL winners. The next
(33:02):
up for Ted Jones's side is the Big FA Cup
game first round of the f A Cup this Sunday
at Some Paul Sports Ground two pm against Sheltontown.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Danny Joss Paul, Yeah, that was a good, good result there.
They put six past Ashford Town. This is a team
that dropped from the league above them. I hope it
bodes well for that match against Shelton Town. Is it?
It's where you go from watch the altar, isn't it said? Yeah,
(33:34):
I couldn't. I couldn't get over the I couldn't get
over the fence on that one. That's life for it,
right so keep up there winning streak. This Sunday. Then
at St Paul Sports Ground, brother I against Cheltenhamtown. As
it says, in the first round proper of the women's
fac Let's be helpful and yeah. When Saturday arrived, we
(33:57):
traveled to Queens Park Rangers hoops on a day dedicated
to celebrating the life of former QPR and mill manager
the Lake Gordon Jago. Wreaths were placed in the center
circle by both teams. Millwill board member Trevor Keyes placed
our wreath ahead of the kickoff, and as I shared
(34:19):
an event with him at the game against Stoke, I
said to him, you've done that very well, Trevor. He said, oh,
you noticed I was there. I said, yes, you were
carrying the reef. Oh he said, yes, that's right. Anyway,
Now for something new, what we're going to do is
we're going to have a talk about that game and
I've got a question for each one of you to answer.
(34:43):
It's a different questions to each of you, but I'll
start off with Ted. And Ted, last week you were
on the show and I recollect me saying that a
couple of teams had I suppose held Queens Park Rangers
back by flagging their defense extremely well and holding them
(35:06):
off and they both got draws out of it. Do
you think that's what we set off with Alex on Saturday?
Speaker 8 (35:14):
I think if you know anyone that was at the
game and see the game, you could see the QPR.
We're in obviously on a good run of form. They're
not a bad side, poor side at all. But we've
got a very good back four. You know, Crame has
been an absolute revelation to me. He was good last
(35:35):
season as a right back, but he's certainly an even
better center after me. And he's a perfect fall for
Cooper because Coops he's not the quickest on two feet,
and I think Kramer covers the ground pretty quickly. But
with the old heads of Cooper and Leonard, with Kramer
(35:55):
and young Zach Sturge there, I think we've got a
very good for I felt so sorry for a long
ago though, aim And when he got injured because he
was the guy that was sitting in front and picking
up all the pieces and making it difficult. And we've
Billy Mitchell, who has also been a revelationist season to me,
(36:16):
like you know, with his energy and also he's passing
it was. I think there probably was a tactic there
to try and sit and hit him on the brake,
and to be to be fair, I don't think we
played our best football, but it showed exactly what we
are at this moment in time, which is a very
(36:37):
difficult side to be who and now are getting that
bit more creative at the other end of the pitch
than what they was last season. I believe if Fingers
crossed that we can keep disease and both him and
Bellow fit because they both give us that width. And
thankfully Ivanovitch got off the mark and hopefully he goes
(36:59):
on the goalst on. But I think coming back to
the question which was about whether we sat, as just mentioned,
I think Alex Neil does his own work on teams
as well, because there was a lot of man for
man marking going on, and I think there was a
definite emphasis on stopping them from playing through the middle
if you like, which we You know, it was a
(37:22):
two to one win that should have been perhaps a
bit easier than to one, but we'd always take that
where it was a good battling performance and a little
quick mention that the goalkeeper and made an outstanding save
in the first minute of the game, which you know,
we could have made a complete difference if they had
gone in so quick mention here as we were talking
about it back forth.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Yeah, we'll have a chat about goalkeepers when we reviewed
the start game. But Dave, for you, who was the
I suppose dying a mode that was directing that game.
Speaker 9 (38:00):
Well, it's difficult to actually point out a mid a controller,
a midfield dynamite's there was a lot of different people
affecting the game. Disease on the wing was a pain
for the for the their defense. And Billy Mitchell to me,
(38:25):
was an absolute gem. He's he's picking up players with
long balls and was absolutely wonderful. So for someone of
his age, he's actually grown his statue in Marview and
it's becoming a really good player. And I think he
could be the one that could be that player moving on.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Yeah, I think he got he's got an opportunity to
do that, There's no doubt about it. So Asease was well,
basically looking as if he was on fire. It wasn't
probably any way to describe that. But how do you
see the rise or the return rather and.
Speaker 13 (39:13):
The of.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
And man Ivanovitch.
Speaker 10 (39:17):
I thought that's the first game he started looking like him,
his old self.
Speaker 14 (39:21):
Was it.
Speaker 10 (39:22):
Really It's great toe him pop up with a goal.
But he's working hard as well. You know, the goals
haven't come yet, but he's you see, he's putting in
the effort.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, so he's trying and he's moving and he managed
to get that. I suppose goal at all strikers want
to get and tuck it in with his head as
it bounced through to him in the clear space of
the goalkeeper and into the net. Right. So, Tuesday, buoyed
(39:54):
by that win at Loftus Road, we faced another high
flying team that occupied a championship slot above US, Stoke City.
Then all of us on the show last week said, yeah,
it was going to be a win for Milwall. Did
you think it was going to be as easy as
(40:17):
it really? Pound down?
Speaker 8 (40:21):
I think, as I said to Wez earlier regarding the
Stoke I see the interview with Mark Robbins afterwards, and
as any manager is, I suppose he was berating his
side about how they played and what they didn't do
and whatever. But I've got to say that first half
against Stoke for me, is the best I've seen Millwall
(40:41):
played for quite some time and it was no surprise.
I suppose that mainly the threat was coming from either wing,
with Bellow, who I thought was absolutely on fire, and
I heard that they gave men at a match to
a disease. But who was good but fought Ballo. He's
(41:02):
been decent in the game so far, but I thought
he was exceptional against Stoke. That the fallback on Stoke,
he didn't know where he was. But I thought that
that first half as a complete performance was exceptional and
you have to take into the count aim. And we
started that game with a completely new midfield compared to
the Loftus road game, with Billy being ill with sickness
(41:26):
and for Masimo unfortunately out for the rest of the season.
With an acl now being came Caspar who came on
a loft Us but run out of steam, shall we say,
and somehow managed to keep going in that the full
game with at Stoke more or less to the right
at the end and the young French led dell boy
(41:46):
is is a revelation to he looks like he's been
a championship player for years, so it all bows well.
But I thought all round as a team performance. The
Stoke first forty five minutes is the best of the
season so far. It wasn't bad second off, but they
was just exceptional first.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
Well, let you know that Kevin Bremner said if he'd
have been playing, we would have put six pas Stoke
and we had the opportunities and he pointed him out
to me every time. So there's got to be some
improvement if Kevin can pick out that sort of situation.
So let's say Kevin gets his message over to his
(42:26):
fellow scotsman Alex and they do better next time.
Speaker 8 (42:32):
Imaginally we'll get his message up.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Dave. Yes, the time, I suppose is interesting because this
was the second game that we've had young mister croc
well not young mister croc the older goalkeeper of the
too mister Crocam in golf for us, if he was
comparing contrasting Croakum and Bender, what would you say, Ah,
(43:03):
the best bits from each and perhaps they're not so
best bits for me?
Speaker 9 (43:09):
Well, personally it's just marveew I think that Crocam is
a better goalkeeper than Bender and ys older, but he
seems to have a bit more command of his area
and Bender doesn't seem to do that. I get very
(43:30):
nervous when we're on our back foot and balls are
coming into the area that there's going to be some
sort of slipwall. So it is a bit of a
contrast between the two. But what I had to mention
about the game on Tuesday night was that Cooper was
(43:50):
an absolute general in defense. He had that the back
four and the defense fully on it for the whole
of the game and was at the back for he
was the man that stood out above the rest. So
it was it's good to see that that's confidence in
(44:13):
our defense was visible. So yeah, that's my opinion.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Okay, okay, where would you say we needed to improve
over those two games?
Speaker 10 (44:24):
And it feels a bit harsh, you know, after the
way we've improved. You know, it's Tuesday from Saturday. But
back to Ivanovitch, I think it would be good to
have some goals from strikers. I think, now we've got
the wingers, it's looking good putting the balls in and
you know, if I'm a little bit greedy, some goals
(44:45):
from midfield running into it.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
So you're definitely in the Bremner. Well, let's see what
happens when Saturday comes to the den and when we
host Leicester City, well they have a yo yod for
a few seasons between the Championship and the Premier League.
They're not performing as anticipated. They have drawn four of
(45:10):
their last six games, recorded one win at Swansea and
suffered a loss at Hole. We have won four of
our previous six, drawn at Swansea and lost severely at
home by four goals to Coventry who are at the
top of the league. Might you our injuries are mounting
a game, but do we have enough strength in depth
(45:31):
to make it four wins? On the spin, the books
had Leicester at eight to five to win, a draw
at nine to four, and a Millwall win at seven
to five. Tight odds, tight game. What's your reckon? Team
said over to you, and don't keep it.
Speaker 8 (45:47):
Too long now, I reckon that. It says it all
there in the statistics that they're not an easy side
to beat Leicester, But then they haven't been winning Minigue
and they lost that Hole the other night. But you
know it's Lester and there is still a big name
in this division. And that's when mill will come to
the four normally, And I've got my fingers crossed as
I'm saying that as a dumble to put the mocks
(46:09):
on them, but I do do fancies if we can
play anything like we did against Stoke, and I've gone
for a two to one win for the Lions.
Speaker 9 (46:16):
Yeah, great stuff, yes said, less than a top team.
They won the Premier League at some point, so they're
not to be sniffed at. But when you drop down
into the Championship, it's a different ball of wax. It's
(46:37):
a different game, so it's going to be type I think,
as said, it'll be a two to one win, two
one win.
Speaker 10 (46:46):
Okay, how about you and I for another home win
At the moment, I think we've been improving, you know,
the last three games, we've been improving with everyone, so
I fancally asked for a two home win.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Well, that's good stuff and hopefully that's exactly what we'll get.
As for me, I've managed to get the predictions from Bethany,
who was due to be on the show this evening
but due to not being so well, she sent the
(47:20):
predictions to me and she's gone for a two to
one win as well, so that's not too bad. So
interesting thoughts. Let's move on and talk about Ted, what
are you going to do and talk about? Now?
Speaker 8 (47:38):
Well, we're going on to the next two games of
for the Prediction League this week, the first one being
Ipswich versus West Brom. I for some reason, unbeknown to myself,
have put this down as a two two win two Ipswich.
But we said that they lost three milk Child the
other night, they might come out with a bit more
(47:59):
firing their belly on on Saturday. So what do you reckon? Andy?
Speaker 10 (48:05):
I got a tight game for this one.
Speaker 7 (48:07):
I've got a one all for that.
Speaker 8 (48:10):
Yeah, I think that's a bit more sensible. Dave, what
do you reagon?
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Yeah? I think.
Speaker 9 (48:18):
If such a little bit of hea day after the
defeat Word one and West Roe, they need to get
a win. So I'm going to go with a two
to one win to West Brom.
Speaker 8 (48:30):
Wo won West Brom from Dave? And what about Bethan
the Aimen.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
She's she's scored it as one one, she's.
Speaker 8 (48:38):
Gone one one. Okay, moving on the final game and
it's Portsmouth against Stoke and I haven't seeing Stoke the
other day. Won't be a talk surprise if they do
have a reaction for Portsmouth are quite tricky I hope.
So I've gone for a one on drawer.
Speaker 10 (48:55):
What do you reckon, Andy, I've gone for an away
win two one star, I can spokeing one and really
bounced back after Tuesday night.
Speaker 8 (49:03):
A gained a very good prediction. Now of you know,
we've done more predictions before the other night. I think
I would have gone like that. But anyway, Marthaul, Dave,
what's you reckon?
Speaker 15 (49:14):
Well?
Speaker 9 (49:15):
After seeing Stoke in the week, I think they're going
to get a one nil win at Portsmouth one nil win.
Speaker 8 (49:23):
Right, And finally, Bethany Amen, Yeah, Befany said to too.
To too with Befany, good dog.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
That's all the predictions, don So. We also have a
prediction from Nick whive T, best mate on the Facebook
mill sic side. Let's hear what Nick predicted.
Speaker 15 (49:46):
Hello, these are my predictions mill Will one Leicester one,
it switched to West brom one and Portsmouth one Stoke nil.
Speaker 2 (49:59):
Thanks well, thanks Nick, you've put the cat amongst the
pigeons there with some of those predictions. Anyway, we must
thank Dave Hart who collates the results and produces the table.
But before we hear from Bethany Warren, we will listen
to this young lady.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
