About this deal

But he was undaunted and, together with wife Jane and two pals, they set about finding a way to see the game they weren't allowed to attend. The Rileys made their way out of the stand to get some refreshment, and spotted a fellow Blue, one of an estimated 30 to 40 who got in that night, by hook or by crook. The three points belonged to the Blues and, while they narrowly lost their next game, another exhausting trip to south London four days later, to play Crystal Palace, the Millwall result was crucial. City have moved onwards and upwards, and Keegan was in no doubt that the victory at Millwall was crucial.

In fact, 30 to 40 City fans HAD managed to find their way into the ground, blending in with the locals, desperate not to miss a match which would prove to be a turning point in the season.It was a terrible atmosphere – it wasn’t the entire crowd but it was bad. They probably thought it gave their team an edge but I’m not sure it did, it just wound up the City players a bit more.” Says Bernstein: “Kevin was sent off and came and sat next to me, in the directors’ box. We were taking a lot of abuse from the Millwall fans, things were thrown, and signs were made. Not very nice! When we scored, it was the easiest thing in the world not to celebrate, because it was about surviving. The sound of the ball hitting the net will live with me, because you could hear it hit the nylon, it was that quiet.” The steward said it was just as bad in there, and she was right,” he said. “But we did move and were behind a family, whose young girl – maybe six to eight – started scratching under her arms and making monkey noises when Shaun Goater came over to our side.

City chairman David Bernstein also remembers the night well, as he was on the team bus as it made its way through south London, like a stagecoach with a cavalry escort rattling through Apache country. We tried to join in, just to avoid anyone looking at us – in the end we probably over-egged it a bit!” says Sean. I knew a City fan who was a postman in south-east London, so he had the right postcode and was able to go to the ground and buy four over the counter. He sent them up by registered post. So when City’s team coach – guarded by a strong police presence - made its way through the tight south London streets to the Den, they knew they would not have the comfort of their loud away support. We had really good players, who were always going to score goals, and Keegan was perfect for that team.”

The City fans who quietly made their way out of the game managed to contain their joy – for a while.
