  • I had a quick google, some bloke on wikipedia has heard of them but apart from that not much
  • B-Mob were quite big in the 80's, we also had Charlton youth which were quite well know. Firestarters I havnt heard of. There are still proberly a few people out there who proberly associate there selves with the firm.
  • Never heard of Firestarters, maybe they are a younger lot but back in the early seventies there was Clockwork Orange and Open End Clan who used to terrorise the away fans by mixing in with them.
  • I've been around since the 1970's but have never heard of the fire starters
  • only came across the firestarters on a google search, never heard of them personally. Doesnt sound like anyone has.
  • They don't sound like they have set the world alight do they
  • All posts that glorify hooliganism will be extinguished

    And it is quite well known that some B mob try and pass themselves of as youth now days!! ;-)
  • I genuinely didn't know that Charlton suffered from any form of organised moronic behaviour. Thought we had from time to time a few spontaneous idiots.
  • What's with the 'cockney' bit anyway? A south Londoner is not a cockernee!

    MOG will remember that ;-)

    How so? Why Cockney aswell?
  • Never heard of the Firestarters, I would imagine the 'Cockney' is because the London connection...

    Back in the 70's we were simply known as the Charlton Boot Boys, we had a song but I can't remember the exact words, I think it started...

    We hate Benny Fenton and the Millwall Den...
    Blah blah blah...
    Blah blah blah....
    Coz we are the Charlton Boot Boys...

    This was followed by a mass of manic bouncing up and down and la la la's....
  • "Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
    Have you heard of the North Bank,Highbury
    Shanks said "No, I don't think so
    But I've heard of the Charlton Aggro...."
  • It is

    We hate Benny Fenton and the millwall den
    love Theo Foley and the covered end
    took Manchest United and beat up the kop
    coz we are the Charlton bootboys

    Pathetic really that I still remember the words.

    Talking of the todderlers lol
  • Dont hear mention of the Covered end clan either...I even had the t shirt circa 1975
    :-)
  • what about the S.E.S then ?
  • How comes Chris from Sidcup, Johnnybev etc ain't on this thread throwing a tantrum about naughty Charlton lads and how they are scum? Probably say it's Millwall's fault.

    If a few if you were active back in the day, any of you got any decent stories from the 60's to 80's?
  • Never been "Active" mate, personally always been a coward......

    They probably will now you've shown up...

    And you're right about the spanners being a bad influence...

    My mate at school was a staunch Spanner fan and he once persuaded me to bunk off school to take in an evening game at Swindon around 1968/69, we got a lift down in what can only be described as a cattle truck and it was so tightly packed you couldn't fart without your ankles swelling up...

    We stopped off at some boozer for a pit stop, a quick punch up and back on the truck and off again, the match was complete mayhem, don't think I saw any of the game, Spanners got beat and it all carried on outside for ages, the journey home was just as eventful and we got dropped off in Camberwell about twelve O'clock and we had to walk home to Woolwich, when I got in the old lady when right off it and started lacing into me with a shovel better than any of the Swindon mob did...

    It was my first real adventure of being 'active' as you put it, gave me the taste as it were and now I come to think of it, totally Millwall's fault...

    The funny thing was my mate was one of the quietest and unassuming blokes you could ever meet, lived with his gran who he doted on, always did his homework, a right swot, once we got to the game he was like a complete nutter, I was completely gobsmacked...

    They say it's the quiet ones you've got to watch out for...
  • Sparrows - chasing 40 Millwall out of the Valley back in 80-81 when we played Barnsley was pretty good as I remember it. Having realised they weren't going to be able to get away with bullying us in the Covered End (this time), they congregated around the Barnsley fans hoping to swell their numbers. We came around the ground and Barnsley weren't interested. Millwall began to melt and it turned into a full scale scarper! The sight of a number of them trying to climb the muddy hill behind Valley Grove in their black shoes, Farah slacks and Gabbicci jumpers will never leave me. Gold chains bouncing up and down as they clawed at the mud to get away. Your boys never came back to Valley again for a non-Millwall match after that.
  • RedZed - I have found the majority of lads aren't the lairy ones on a Friday night who cause fights and are gentlemen/decent people in most other aspects of life...but go to the football and a switch flicks inside them, anger, passion etc that doesn't boil over during the week does on a Saturday! Strange!

    Cardinal - was it 77 when 'wall turned up at the Valley when you played Spurs? Made infamous on the panorama doc, not many wall there.

    How many Charlton were going after the 40 Millwall? Was that a Friday night game? Funnily enough I bought a Gabbicci polo shirt the other month!
  • If you have read Andy Nicholls (Everton scally hooli) book, A-Z, I wrote a fair amount of the Charlton content, I am no longer active.
  • Did you have to write it twice?
  • stop stammering.
  • Yeah DA9 show me some brief..........lol
  • Da9 mate i prefer the other bit written by a very youthful none active veteran.
  • Watch it lads - SLL is a peeler. Don't say I didn't warn you.
