I was lucky enough to be in the heroes room for the Brighton game , when you go out to your seats the emotion and pride to the whole ground with all the flags waving is unbelievable..shame we didn't get the 3 pts..😢😢
During Euro '96 West Ham famously tried to stay apart from the others (and have a private battle with Milwall), and it has been documented in some online forums over the years. Old animosities do come up now and then.
That even applies UK wide. I remember the heart warming moment in Euro 2016 when the Russian fans started trying to cause trouble with both the English & Welsh fans. They teamed up and started singing "F*ck off Russia, We're England & Wales"
A lot of this footage is very old - 70s and 80s games. The passion is still there but there’s not so much violence these days as clubs can issue lifetime bans if fans are identified as being hooligans.
I'm a seventy four year old lady!! Football to me is a way of life!! I just love it. The feeling of supporting your team and following them all over the country is beyond passion. I can't follow my team any more due to ill health, but that feeling of love and pride never leaves me.❤❤❤❤
I support Barnsley I can have supported them all over the UK UK including Swansea and Cardiff ninian park but obviously not the world like Liverpool man utd and city world club cup and thanks for the last playoff final at the old Wembley 4-0 at your stadium good day
Match days in Newcastle are genuinely some of the best days of my life. Not just the noise of our own fans but seeing opposition fans having a good time and enjoying our city too is great. I don't want us to be the craziest, I want us to be the friendliest and a lot of opposition fans will tell you we are a good place to visit although a little far it makes for a good away day for most fans I would say. I have genuine love for my city and my club and I want it to be represented well.
Even though you're the much better side it's still always a brilliant day derby day 🤣 the last 1 was atrocious on our part but still a very tense affair 😂
The West Ham - Millwall rivalry is historic from the beginning of the 20th century and started between rival groups of dockers from shipyards on the east end section of the River Thames.
One of my best memories was not from a derby match. I was walking along the Birmingham Road end of the West Brom ground with my son. Albion were going through a bad patch (not unusual). Coming the other way was another father with his son. The son was crying his heart out and pulling against his dad. The dad stopped and said to his son 'If you don't behave, I'll take you in there and make you watch them'.
Stupid thing is, Saturday they’ll be kicking ten shades of poop out of each other, then Monday they’ll be back at work together, laughing and joking about it, great friends.
Makes me proud to be British 😂 just the pure passion for the club and team you support! It’s not just a game, it’s a way of life. On the 10th of August theirs a Manchester derby in London and I’ll be there to back the Blue Boys! CITY CITY CITY
Im from Oxford and im so glad our derby with swindon is on here. Honestly it is one of the most violent in the UK and most passionate. We are both just fairly small clubs with swindon being league 2 and Oxford hopefully being in the championship next season as of this Saturday
From the other end of the A420, I agree with this comment. Two "small" clubs totally hating each other. Wouldn't have it any other way. 😂 Swindon wins - 24 O****d wins - 17 Hope you get absolutely trashed at Wembley!
@@lawtonify yh there is still a lot of hatred but, as the villa of your example, we are doing so well that we feel like its not even worth entertaining the idea of it being competitive, but for the fan base we have a lot of hatred and swindon is just such a shithole
You do realise most of the camera footage was ancient, like 70s&80s, the most modern footage i saw here was 10- 15 years ago. I worked at anfield , liveepools ground from 2016-2020 , and the derby happens twice a season, if youre in same division , possibly 3 times, if u draw your derby team in a cup competition.
Not fans. Thugs. It's the reason I have zero interest in football. Less common than the 70s and 80s but these fans still goad each other with the intention of a fight. No respect for the team, the sport or others. The chants are as bad. If you said on the street what is said in stadiums you would be locked up breach of the peace.
@@nick7076 An overwhelming majority of football fans are not thugs. It is just sad that they get lumped in with these utterly disgraceful excuses for human beings.
To call all football fans thugs is an front to those who truly support their team. The majority of fans nowadays go to watch their team play. I've been going to watch my team play for over 50 hrs and never seen our supporters fight with others. I'm not saying it never happened, I've just not seen it.
@@blueray1878We have to respect a Life long Fan like yourself!! I mean following your team for a whole 50 hours you must have had some ups and downs in the whole 2 games you attended 😂😂😂😂
If you are coming over for the summer, you may not catch a match until late summer. Football is s winter game and starts around the first or second week of August.
As a Birmingham City fan, I've been at most of these derbies, the earlier games, with the penguin kit, you can see Kenny Burns in action and Trevor Francis, aka God, good old rivalry, can't beat it, SOTV

little bit histroy of the tyne-wear derby, it goes back as far as the english civil war in the 17th century where both areas fought against each other for king and parliament.
I'm a Birmingham City fan (number 1 rivalry in the video, against Aston Villa) and was at a couple of the games in this compilation as a kid/teenager. my dad used to take turns taking my brother and me to the home games and we'd always have mad competitions for who got to go to the derby game. Even more than wanting to see the team play Man U or Arsenal or Liverpool, the one you wanted a ticket for was the derby game because it was always so much fun. Birmingham city's 'hooligan group' (almost every club has its own official group like this, of varying sizes, even holding reunions and things years later in many cases for the older guys) are called the Zulus. My dad plays golf with quite a few of the older guys now, many of whom are in their 70's, and had quite successful careers and seem quite sensible, and then you'll be out for a drink with them and suddenly it's like 'ah this is johno, he once pulled a urinal off a wall and threw it through a pub window. Now he runs a printing business'. Mad. Even the older guys, you know not to mess with.
I'm a West Brom fan and when we played Wolves a few months ago, it was the first time in 12 years (with fans in the stadium, last time we played them it was in covid) and it was proper nasty. There's a few videos of the violence on this site. Never seen anything like it before
The movie 'Green Street' from 2005, is about soccer violence.Elijah Wood is in it,playing an American who visits his sister in London,and gets caught up in it.
The ‘Old Firm’ derby in Scotland (Celtic and Rangers) has to be the most vicious. For several years in a row between the 90’s and 2000’s at least 1 fan died every time they met. Not at the game but in the aftermath or prior.
You mentioned it on the very day The Old Firm were playing. It's not as bad these days. My workmate took her 7 year old for the first time and was just checking with the teacher of my class if she took her 10 year old. The answer was yes so it went ahead. They both support the hoops.
Mate, stop messing around with this there is only 1 Derby in Britain. Celtic , Rangers is on a different level there is really nothing that’s gets anywhere near
You asked if these games are rare. It depends what league the clubs are in, if they're in the same league (example, Man Utd and Man City are both in the Premiership) then they will play each other twice a year, once at each club's stadium, plus the possibility of playing against each other in other competitions. If they're in different leagues then the Cup competitions are the only opportunity until one of the clubs is promoted/relegated. But there are so many derbies that derby games aren't rare at all.
I'll have to dig that out now, ventureout. T'was funny. Not for the horse, mind. i think they had him up for it, so it will have cost him a goodly shilling.
I'm a Portsmouth fan and derby day is real. The atmosphere and tension so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife. My Dad grew up in Pompey and said they had beef back when he was young. Portsmouth has a Naval port and Southampton has a Commercial port and they are close to each other the rivalry is old and deeply rooted.
Football is more than a game, its family for some and a love of a home town. Some of these rivalries are hundreds of years old. Like in the US you have the North South divide or the East West coast. In the UK it town on town and sometimes a divide in a town or city depending on the size. But it always comes down to Football even those who don't like football.
In the U.K. Derby is pronounced DAR BEE ( with an A) and this includes the City of Derby and the Derby horse race. Most of these clips are from the 1970/80 and 90’s when the hooliganism was much worse than now. The intense rivalry is still there but more low key these days.
My Dad was a mounted policeman In the 70’s & 80’s doing football matches in the Birmingham area. The height of football hooliganism. He told me some stories,
Them clips are off years ago, it’s not quiet as violent these days but fans still hate each other on match day and week or so leading upto a derby, but the best derby in England is Tyne wear derby ( Sunderland Newcastle)
I'm 61 yrs old, supported Liverpool for decades, got leathered by a gang of Everton supporters whilst waiting for a bus when I was a teen. Football isn't like that these days thankfully, there's still banter but violence is rare.
This list is null and void because it does not include the South Wales Derby: Cardiff v. Swansea. And yes, both Welsh teams but playing in the English football league, and it is much more vehement and passionate than at least half the ones listed here.
True. It also doesn't include The Old Firm, Rangers v Celtic. I know this is about the English Leagues, but there is NOTHING like an Old Firm Derby. I'm English and I've been there!
Agree. Not sure how stuff like swindon and oxford make it on but SWD doesn't. I'm a stoke fan and potteries derby higher than a lot of these but it's rare and less well known.
Yes good point. A lot depends on the frequency of the derbies. So the likes of Arsenal v Spurs, or Man Utd v Liverpool play each other every season. If two rivals are in different leagues it's different. I'm a Saints fan, so the South Coast Derby against Pompey hasn't happened for more than a decade!!. It was quite funny at the end of last season, when Pompey won League One and got promoted to Championship. They thought they would be playing against Saints next season, until we won the play off final against Leeds and got promoted back to Premier League!!
'Derby Day' was originally a famous horse race, and another British sporting institution (second in horse racing only to the Grand National.) Rugby league has its 'derby' matches also. It's come to mean more these annual contests we have between two teams in the same city, but oddly the city of Derby itself only has the one club. Derbies are more common in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow.
I've been a Liverpool fan since a very young age (thanks to my dad). I am so happy my dad raised me to be a red. I couldn't imagine supporting any other club, I genuinely don't think any club comes close. There's something about scousers (people from Liverpool) that make this club special. Live and breathe the game.
I'm a City fan but went to the old Poly in Sunderland and as City and Sunderland generally get on I spent a fair few Saturdays at Roker Park in the late 80s. Even today my second team is Sunderland and I expected something similar to City vs the Rags and then I experienced the visceral hate of the Tyne and Wear derby. Great times :)
Im Not from the UK and I don't have a UK team I support, but I can tell you that Millwall (was a part of the video) were considered the maddest and most violent for decades. There is much to find about them on yt for you to watch and react on.
@@timg5011 I don't know for sure, it could be both......I'm from just outside Leeds but I'm a Man U fan, but I've definitely heard my Leeds mates sing something similar when we've had a few watching the game in the pub.
The football season runs from August to May (this season ends May 19th). The FA cup final at Wembley stadium is 25th May, which is in London. Summer is usually international tournaments. This year is the European international tournament UEFA EUROs 2024, which starts 15th June and is being held in Germany. After 25th May, you won't see any football in England until the 2024-25 season starts.
One thing to note not many other commenters mention is the fact that many of these rivalries exisited long before proffessional football. For instance Liverpool and Manchester, over the lost work from Manchesters canal that they built. Or Millwall & West Ham, which was born out of competing for Dock work.
As a Birmingham city fan I've been to many derby's over the years and the funny thing is during the week you work, drink, go to school even have family that support that other lot and for the most part you all get on well, but come deby day it turns to pure hate, I've fought friends and I've seen families fighting one another. No one can explain why It just happens.
I'm BLUES (Birmingham City) fan and have seen some bad stuff when we play the vile for nearly 50 years now. You have to be smart - no colours and keep your mouth shut outside the ground. So I have never had to fight someone.
Been to many Manchester derbies as a Red and back in the 70's and 80's they were great 'fun' !! Running battles and skirmishes all over the place, and us Reds nearly always out numbered the blues!! We were 19, 20+ years old and didn't have a care in the world, we lived for the match on a Saturday !!
The rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland goes back to the English Civil War. It's much more than just a rivalry between two football clubs in the same region. Howay the lads!
A lot of the bigger Premier League derbies will happen twice a season home and away. But when one or both clubs are in the lower leagues it can be a rare event limited to cup draws or the occasional season in the same division. The last time my club (Southampton) played our rivals (Portsmouth) was 2019. We won 4-0 away
Hi just watched the football rivalry vid really good but one of the worst rivalry in Britain is the south Wales derby between Swansea and Cardiff the first ever clubs in Britain to be banned from each others grounds don't know why it's not on there cheers
I have scene this in Southampton a few years back, with Manchester United visiting Southampton, there was a huge police presence even with horses around 1 pub filled with United fans who were singing and chanting and that was in Southampton City Centre, I quickly made it out of there, I didn't stick around.
I support Royston Vasey, we play Barstoneworth United next Saturday at home. It's critical that we win so the team will be having meat pies and two pints of bitter each before the match to build up their strength.
My grandmas house is right next to the Millwall stadium and she often tells me stories of people coming from the match and running through the houses in the area, I also remember her telling me about a horse running through someone's house on the street.
She should of lived next to the OLD DEN, which Millwall left in 1993, which is half a mile away which was 5 times more sinister hence Millwall breaking the existing Football League Record with 59 successive Home games unbeaten between 1964/67.:)
There's a clue to Britain's tribal nature in the passions a Derby brings out. We reserve our greatest fire for our near neighbour, as he's the one we have the longest history of fighting with.
The next premiership football season starts August 17th this year, the lower leagues a week earlier. If you're visiting in July, teams will be playing pre-season friendly matches you can go to. Also some of the top Premiership teams do a pre-season tour of the US. Check out their websites you may find a game near you.
I’ve been too a few of them Oxford v Swindon games. It’s exactly how this video showed it. Old Bill everywhere. The maddest thing is most of these videos were filmed about half 11 in the morning. Most of these Derbies are played at lunchtime, trying to avoid people having a few to many beers. This obviously never works.
Leeds vs Man United is underrated, probably a bit far to be considered a derby, but certainly a heated rivalry. The most policed game in Premier League history last year. Over 800 police for one game.
6:33 I was at that game. Leeds fans blamed for setting the chip van on fire but it wasn't the fans at all. There was something wrong with their gas burners, the chips weren't being cooked. Loads of fans complained about the cold chips but the owner told them to sod off. Next thing it was up in flames. TV at the time said Leeds fans had brought gas bottles to the game to set it alight. What? They snuck a few gas bottles in and nobody saw them? Ridiculous. There was a fault and the van set on fire. The police made us go onto the pitch to get away from the fire. Not a pitch invasion as the TV said at the time. Then the fans running at the home fans. Nope, the police charged at us with horses. Trust me, you see a line of police horses charging at you, you run in the opposite direction. What a day that was. Could tell more stories about that day but this will suffice.
I’m a Wolves fan and the stupid thing about the derby of Wolves and West Brom is, match day they want to kill each other and then come the next working day, we’re all mates again, just with the usual football banter and who’s ever won has the bragging rights.
A lot of these derbies happen very rarely now so it makes it more intense when the two teams play each other. I was at the West Ham v Millwall league cup game and it was kicking off round East London and beyond from about 4 o’clock until nearly midnight. I have been to three old firm games and as someone commented on here most of the trouble there happens well away from the ground after the game in the pubs and town centres around Glasgow.
Cardiff v swansea derby should defo be up there. Cardiff and proud 💙 take a look at the european football derbies theyre special too mate, not forgetting the south american ones also!
It's funny that you chose to make the video today. Today is the day of the biggest derby in Britain, namely the Celtic/Rangers (known as 'The Old Firm') game. Not only rivals in Glasgow they also have cultural and religious differences. Games between these two have been know to cause riots... in Belfast! They usually meet four times a year though so it's not a rare occasion.
Raised in Canada by a Rangers fan with a Rangers room, every stat from every Celtic match-up on the wall. As for Scotland matches, did you know the Hampden Roar can be heard from France?
Fans from Northern Ireland going over on the ferry and coaches still have to be kept apart with schedules for one side and other schedules for the other!! Otherwise boats and coaches and fans will be wrecked, again 😅
A football Derby (pronounced Darby in the UK) are matches played by teams which are local to each other or very close, such as Man united vs Man City, or Liverpool Vs Everton or between London teams. The name comes from the city of Derby (Darby) where an annual game of football was played between two ad hoc teams through the streets of the city with a goal at each end, the teams had many players and involved lots of beer drinking, fighting and other violence and lasted a whole day. It was eventually banned when it became too violent, but official matches as I described are still called Derby matches unofficially, the name stuck.
I'm a Bradford city fan, and in west Yorkshire, it's a bit of a 3 way thing with Leeds and Huddersfield. That chip van you see happened at Odsal, the year after the fire at Valley parade which killed 56 fans. The rivalry between us and Leeds intensified after they did that. I actually work at Sheffield Wednesday, and next season the steel City derby is on. That's gonna be electric. Maybe you should try to get to one of the games. You'll have a blast.
Was at all the West Ham Millwall games, and boy were they fun. Fyi the fighting is actually the local firm defending and protecting their local community and the scarfs (fans that go with families etc aka defenseless ones). It's not about fighting because we lost or won
When you lose one of these games, it sucks to be an adult going to work or a kid going to school. You can even suffer in your own household if a family member supports the team that beat you. It's brutal but a way of life.
Football is for the fans. Watch Take Us Home a series about my team Leeds United. It shows how engrained a community is in their team. Leeds fans had a reputation for violence and the team in the 70s were widely known as dirty Leeds. We are turning that round although we're still the team everyone loves to hate. The waiting list for season tickets is above 20 thousand people. We're owned by the 49ers with Russell Crowe and Will Ferrell being in that group too. If you're in Yorkshire during the season I'll take you to a match.....well done on your videos.
West Brom fan here. The rivalry in football is real. I’m more of a hippy now. I love all teams. These people probably work together in the week and hate each other on match day
Hi Southampton v Portsmouth is a big one. The two city's are only about 20 miles apart and we hate each other. I live next door to a Pompey fan and the atmosphere is hostile LOL Up the Saints.
People watching this..west ham/millwall match..i worked in that pub The Queens ..and it was mental when Millwall came to Upton Park..one time got so bad the police on horse's came in the pub..was scary ..something i will never forget growing up in Upton Park
It's actually not that bad these days. Millwall's team had a terrible reputation for fight starting. But the everyday game of footy is nowhere near as portrayed in the vids.
Im a Blades fan (Sheffield United) and listening to our local radio show here in Sheffield, they mentioned a Blades fan who is reported to hate Sheffield Wednesday that much he refuses to recognise the actual day of the week and calls Wednesday the day before thursday or the day after tuesday! 😂😂 Thats on another level! Whether or not its genuine I dont know but it made me laugh when I heard about it! Totally bonkers 😂😂
Derby matches were always eagerly looked forward to and dreaded in equal amounts, very tense affairs, often the hype outshone the actual football and many ending in 0-0- draws with either side scared to make an error. Locally it was all about going to work the next day and having bragging rights, taking the piss out of your workmates if you'd won and they'd lost

The West Ham - Millwall rivalry is historic from the beginning of the 20th century and started between rival groups of dockers from shipyards on the east end section of the River Thames.
Ive been to loads of Blues (Birmingham) vs Villa derbies and they are always tense, highly charged and often violent
Wouldn't have it any other way..
Took an ex gf to the Sheffield derby...she's a villa fan...
She said "this is worse than villa V Brum...and we stab each other"
🤣🤣🤣
To sum up a villa blues derby
1. Dion Dublin headbutt on Robbie savage
2. Blues fan running on the pitch and smacking jack grealish 🤣

One of my best memories was not from a derby match. I was walking along the Birmingham Road end of the West Brom ground with my son. Albion were going through a bad patch (not unusual). Coming the other way was another father with his son. The son was crying his heart out and pulling against his dad. The dad stopped and said to his son 'If you don't behave, I'll take you in there and make you watch them'.
Stupid thing is, Saturday they’ll be kicking ten shades of poop out of each other, then Monday they’ll be back at work together, laughing and joking about it, great friends.
that's the point, match days we go to war & when the wars over we go for a pint
@@dezzhoudini9046 “Go to war”, have a word with yourself! 😂
Very true
Makes me proud to be British 😂 just the pure passion for the club and team you support! It’s not just a game, it’s a way of life. On the 10th of August theirs a Manchester derby in London and I’ll be there to back the Blue Boys! CITY CITY CITY
Im from Oxford and im so glad our derby with swindon is on here. Honestly it is one of the most violent in the UK and most passionate. We are both just fairly small clubs with swindon being league 2 and Oxford hopefully being in the championship next season as of this Saturday
From the other end of the A420, I agree with this comment. Two "small" clubs totally hating each other. Wouldn't have it any other way. 😂
Swindon wins - 24
O****d wins - 17
Hope you get absolutely trashed at Wembley!
we got promoted, some great away days next season. Up the yellows
Birmingham city fans will disagree...lol....ours still goes on when we don't play lol...
@@lawtonify yh there is still a lot of hatred but, as the villa of your example, we are doing so well that we feel like its not even worth entertaining the idea of it being competitive, but for the fan base we have a lot of hatred and swindon is just such a shithole
You do realise most of the camera footage was ancient, like 70s&80s, the most modern footage i saw here was 10- 15 years ago. I worked at anfield , liveepools ground from 2016-2020 , and the derby happens twice a season, if youre in same division , possibly 3 times, if u draw your derby team in a cup competition.
The essence of a true English football fan - born your team, live your team, die you team no others matter!
Not fans. Thugs. It's the reason I have zero interest in football. Less common than the 70s and 80s but these fans still goad each other with the intention of a fight. No respect for the team, the sport or others. The chants are as bad. If you said on the street what is said in stadiums you would be locked up breach of the peace.
@@nick7076 An overwhelming majority of football fans are not thugs. It is just sad that they get lumped in with these utterly disgraceful excuses for human beings.
To call all football fans thugs is an front to those who truly support their team. The majority of fans nowadays go to watch their team play. I've been going to watch my team play for over 50 hrs and never seen our supporters fight with others. I'm not saying it never happened, I've just not seen it.
@@nick7076 If you think people should be locked up for singing songs, then maybe they're not the ones with the problem.

Spur's vs Westham/ Any team vs Millwall/ The Tyneside Derby all come to mind for hooliganism in the 70's & 80's

@@Paul.swanseavilla Was you around in the 70s and old enough to travel to away games?
If you are coming over for the summer, you may not catch a match until late summer. Football is s winter game and starts around the first or second week of August.
The season may even start a bit later this summer because of the Euro.
May be he should start with a pre season friendly just to be safe hahahah
17th August apparently.
As a Birmingham City fan, I've been at most of these derbies, the earlier games, with the penguin kit, you can see Kenny Burns in action and Trevor Francis, aka God, good old rivalry, can't beat it, SOTV
little bit histroy of the tyne-wear derby, it goes back as far as the english civil war in the 17th century where both areas fought against each other for king and parliament.
I'm a Birmingham City fan (number 1 rivalry in the video, against Aston Villa) and was at a couple of the games in this compilation as a kid/teenager. my dad used to take turns taking my brother and me to the home games and we'd always have mad competitions for who got to go to the derby game. Even more than wanting to see the team play Man U or Arsenal or Liverpool, the one you wanted a ticket for was the derby game because it was always so much fun. Birmingham city's 'hooligan group' (almost every club has its own official group like this, of varying sizes, even holding reunions and things years later in many cases for the older guys) are called the Zulus. My dad plays golf with quite a few of the older guys now, many of whom are in their 70's, and had quite successful careers and seem quite sensible, and then you'll be out for a drink with them and suddenly it's like 'ah this is johno, he once pulled a urinal off a wall and threw it through a pub window. Now he runs a printing business'. Mad. Even the older guys, you know not to mess with.
I'm a West Brom fan and when we played Wolves a few months ago, it was the first time in 12 years (with fans in the stadium, last time we played them it was in covid) and it was proper nasty. There's a few videos of the violence on this site. Never seen anything like it before
As a wolves fan I hate the derbies it's the same when we play Birmingham
Villa fan here... that's all i have to say
f*** you West Brom lol
The picture on the thumbnail of this video is from the WBA v Wolves match in January. So much violence
As a wolves fan whoever put our derby in 11th place is a tool
Yeah spot on I'm Albion and our derby is as hostile as any other.
The movie 'Green Street' from 2005, is about soccer violence.Elijah Wood is in it,playing an American who visits his sister in London,and gets caught up in it.
its football you american nobhead, if you are saying it to explain them i apologise
Absolute banger of a movie aswell, got charlie hunman in it.
Absolute shocking film 😂
Nothing like real life
It's also garbage and nothing like real life. Proper trust fund kid screenwriter stuff.
The ‘Old Firm’ derby in Scotland (Celtic and Rangers) has to be the most vicious.
For several years in a row between the 90’s and 2000’s at least 1 fan died every time they met. Not at the game but in the aftermath or prior.
Its about english football not scottish football...
@@markowhit4604 yeah, I’d read the title and didn’t struggle deciphering that but cheers for pointing it out mate.
@@stuartmcinnes2903 so why you banging on about that pointless farmers league for? 🤣🤣
You mentioned it on the very day The Old Firm were playing. It's not as bad these days. My workmate took her 7 year old for the first time and was just checking with the teacher of my class if she took her 10 year old. The answer was yes so it went ahead. They both support the hoops.
Mate, stop messing around with this there is only 1 Derby in Britain. Celtic , Rangers is on a different level there is really nothing that’s gets anywhere near
Now imagine if Britain didn't have strict gun laws 😅
Our government wouldn’t be doing the shit that they are doing to us…… !!
You asked if these games are rare. It depends what league the clubs are in, if they're in the same league (example, Man Utd and Man City are both in the Premiership) then they will play each other twice a year, once at each club's stadium, plus the possibility of playing against each other in other competitions. If they're in different leagues then the Cup competitions are the only opportunity until one of the clubs is promoted/relegated. But there are so many derbies that derby games aren't rare at all.
True, not necessarily all that rare. But they definitely more spicy than an average match...
Genuinely laughed out loud at the "why's he trying to fight a horse?" comment
Horse Punch guy is still laughed about in Newcastle today.
I'll have to dig that out now, ventureout. T'was funny. Not for the horse, mind. i think they had him up for it, so it will have cost him a goodly shilling.

I'm a Portsmouth fan and derby day is real. The atmosphere and tension so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife. My Dad grew up in Pompey and said they had beef back when he was young. Portsmouth has a Naval port and Southampton has a Commercial port and they are close to each other the rivalry is old and deeply rooted.
Play up pompey!!

Cheers bud fingers crossed and if we don't do it we've got the Derby next season
@@dannygilding8938 Go Baggies 😅
Football is more than a game, its family for some and a love of a home town. Some of these rivalries are hundreds of years old. Like in the US you have the North South divide or the East West coast. In the UK it town on town and sometimes a divide in a town or city depending on the size. But it always comes down to Football even those who don't like football.
"My god what am i watching? Why is this guy trying to fight a horse?" Has to be the best thing ive heard on youtube in years....
In the U.K. Derby is pronounced DAR BEE ( with an A) and this includes the City of Derby and the Derby horse race.
Most of these clips are from the 1970/80 and 90’s when the hooliganism was much worse than now. The intense rivalry is still there but more low key these days.
My Dad was a mounted policeman In the 70’s & 80’s doing football matches in the Birmingham area. The height of football hooliganism. He told me some stories,
As a Villa fan, I went to my first Villa blues game back in 2018 when we won 4-2 and that’s the loudest I think I’ve ever heard Villa Park.
Love Blues Villa! Mental 😂💙
SOTC
I'm 67, followed Leeds home and away. Seen a few battles in my time.
Them clips are off years ago, it’s not quiet as violent these days but fans still hate each other on match day and week or so leading upto a derby, but the best derby in England is Tyne wear derby ( Sunderland Newcastle)
I'm 61 yrs old, supported Liverpool for decades, got leathered by a gang of Everton supporters whilst waiting for a bus when I was a teen. Football isn't like that these days thankfully, there's still banter but violence is rare.
This list is null and void because it does not include the South Wales Derby: Cardiff v. Swansea. And yes, both Welsh teams but playing in the English football league, and it is much more vehement and passionate than at least half the ones listed here.
True. It also doesn't include The Old Firm, Rangers v Celtic. I know this is about the English Leagues, but there is NOTHING like an Old Firm Derby. I'm English and I've been there!
Agree. Not sure how stuff like swindon and oxford make it on but SWD doesn't. I'm a stoke fan and potteries derby higher than a lot of these but it's rare and less well known.
Yes good point. A lot depends on the frequency of the derbies. So the likes of Arsenal v Spurs, or Man Utd v Liverpool play each other every season. If two rivals are in different leagues it's different. I'm a Saints fan, so the South Coast Derby against Pompey hasn't happened for more than a decade!!. It was quite funny at the end of last season, when Pompey won League One and got promoted to Championship. They thought they would be playing against Saints next season, until we won the play off final against Leeds and got promoted back to Premier League!!
'Derby Day' was originally a famous horse race, and another British sporting institution (second in horse racing only to the Grand National.) Rugby league has its 'derby' matches also. It's come to mean more these annual contests we have between two teams in the same city, but oddly the city of Derby itself only has the one club. Derbies are more common in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow.
There are even rivalries within the family, where members of the same family support opposing teams!
Yep! I'm a Spur's supporter & my dad is an Arsenal supporter. Can get quite heated around the NLD.
I've been a Liverpool fan since a very young age (thanks to my dad). I am so happy my dad raised me to be a red. I couldn't imagine supporting any other club, I genuinely don't think any club comes close. There's something about scousers (people from Liverpool) that make this club special. Live and breathe the game.
im a sunderland fan been to a number of newcastle sunderland matches they were pretty wild in the 80s
Ha'way the Lads!!!! F.T.M
I'm a City fan but went to the old Poly in Sunderland and as City and Sunderland generally get on I spent a fair few Saturdays at Roker Park in the late 80s. Even today my second team is Sunderland and I expected something similar to City vs the Rags and then I experienced the visceral hate of the Tyne and Wear derby. Great times :)

The football season runs from August to May (this season ends May 19th). The FA cup final at Wembley stadium is 25th May, which is in London. Summer is usually international tournaments. This year is the European international tournament UEFA EUROs 2024, which starts 15th June and is being held in Germany. After 25th May, you won't see any football in England until the 2024-25 season starts.
As a port vale fan, I'm happy were on the notable derbys
My uncle played for you boys very long time ago...bernie wright
One thing to note not many other commenters mention is the fact that many of these rivalries exisited long before proffessional football. For instance Liverpool and Manchester, over the lost work from Manchesters canal that they built. Or Millwall & West Ham, which was born out of competing for Dock work.
Wednesday vs United is always very tense in Sheffield
As a Birmingham city fan I've been to many derby's over the years and the funny thing is during the week you work, drink, go to school even have family that support that other lot and for the most part you all get on well, but come deby day it turns to pure hate, I've fought friends and I've seen families fighting one another. No one can explain why It just happens.
I'm BLUES (Birmingham City) fan and have seen some bad stuff when we play the vile for nearly 50 years now. You have to be smart - no colours and keep your mouth shut outside the ground. So I have never had to fight someone.
Massive big up to Theo Walcott who did the 3-1 hand signal whilst on the stretcher.... COYG'S!!!!
The Epsom derby is the biggest, the only one where the use whips.
You haven't seen the Cardiff v Swansea matches..😂
Been to many Manchester derbies as a Red and back in the 70's and 80's they were great 'fun' !! Running battles and skirmishes all over the place, and us Reds nearly always out numbered the blues!! We were 19, 20+ years old and didn't have a care in the world, we lived for the match on a Saturday !!
The rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland goes back to the English Civil War. It's much more than just a rivalry between two football clubs in the same region. Howay the lads!
I've heard that before, but which mob were the parliamentarians ? I'll guess the geordies !!
Sunderland were parliamentarian.
And were also considered geordies before John halls 1994 speech.
@@stephenmcaloon6285they wasn’t considered Geordies by Geordies that’s for sure!
We are definitely not geordies. By birth I’m a geordie. But by choice I’m a Mackem
A lot of the bigger Premier League derbies will happen twice a season home and away. But when one or both clubs are in the lower leagues it can be a rare event limited to cup draws or the occasional season in the same division. The last time my club (Southampton) played our rivals (Portsmouth) was 2019.
We won 4-0 away
Hi just watched the football rivalry vid really good but one of the worst rivalry in Britain is the south Wales derby between Swansea and Cardiff the first ever clubs in Britain to be banned from each others grounds don't know why it's not on there cheers
Millwall and Pompey both banned each others clubs fans Many times
I have scene this in Southampton a few years back, with Manchester United visiting Southampton, there was a huge police presence even with horses around 1 pub filled with United fans who were singing and chanting and that was in Southampton City Centre, I quickly made it out of there, I didn't stick around.
I support Royston Vasey, we play Barstoneworth United next Saturday at home. It's critical that we win so the team will be having meat pies and two pints of bitter each before the match to build up their strength.
Two pints? Lightweights!
These are really old clips...the passion is still there but not the violence them days have gone...thank God and that's coming from a Leeds fan
Wigan Athletic Vs Bolton should be in this list. It's bigger than a few mentioned here.
💯 there is a list as long as your arm of nasty games in the lower leagues
My grandmas house is right next to the Millwall stadium and she often tells me stories of people coming from the match and running through the houses in the area, I also remember her telling me about a horse running through someone's house on the street.
She should of lived next to the OLD DEN, which Millwall left in 1993, which is half a mile away which was 5 times more sinister hence Millwall breaking the existing Football League Record with 59 successive Home games unbeaten between 1964/67.:)
Probably some of the worse fans ever.

Hi Joel, It's Cricket Season now, Stay safe.
There's a clue to Britain's tribal nature in the passions a Derby brings out. We reserve our greatest fire for our near neighbour, as he's the one we have the longest history of fighting with.
We dont play football in the summer
August has matches
Mid to late August
The next premiership football season starts August 17th this year, the lower leagues a week earlier. If you're visiting in July, teams will be playing pre-season friendly matches you can go to. Also some of the top Premiership teams do a pre-season tour of the US. Check out their websites you may find a game near you.
I live in Blackpool we have Fleetwood as a rival aswell as Preston seeing the fights is crazy

I’ve been too a few of them Oxford v Swindon games. It’s exactly how this video showed it. Old Bill everywhere. The maddest thing is most of these videos were filmed about half 11 in the morning. Most of these Derbies are played at lunchtime, trying to avoid people having a few to many beers. This obviously never works.
Leeds vs Man United is underrated, probably a bit far to be considered a derby, but certainly a heated rivalry. The most policed game in Premier League history last year. Over 800 police for one game.
Not premier league game but Millwall v west ham had 1800 police in 2004/05. Think it's the biggest ever number of police at a game in England
Leeds are just shithouses
Leeds Vs Chelsea
Leeds v Millwall or Leeds v Cardiff.....ALAW
6:33 I was at that game. Leeds fans blamed for setting the chip van on fire but it wasn't the fans at all.
There was something wrong with their gas burners, the chips weren't being cooked. Loads of fans complained about the cold chips but the owner told them to sod off. Next thing it was up in flames.
TV at the time said Leeds fans had brought gas bottles to the game to set it alight. What? They snuck a few gas bottles in and nobody saw them? Ridiculous.
There was a fault and the van set on fire.
The police made us go onto the pitch to get away from the fire. Not a pitch invasion as the TV said at the time.
Then the fans running at the home fans. Nope, the police charged at us with horses. Trust me, you see a line of police horses charging at you, you run in the opposite direction.
What a day that was. Could tell more stories about that day but this will suffice.
I’m a Wolves fan and the stupid thing about the derby of Wolves and West Brom is, match day they want to kill each other and then come the next working day, we’re all mates again, just with the usual football banter and who’s ever won has the bragging rights.
I'm a albion fan and it's all just good fun and passion.
A lot of these derbies happen very rarely now so it makes it more intense when the two teams play each other. I was at the West Ham v Millwall league cup game and it was kicking off round East London and beyond from about 4 o’clock until nearly midnight. I have been to three old firm games and as someone commented on here most of the trouble there happens well away from the ground after the game in the pubs and town centres around Glasgow.
Cardiff v swansea derby should defo be up there. Cardiff and proud 💙 take a look at the european football derbies theyre special too mate, not forgetting the south american ones also!
Never did double over us
Sheffield united Vs Sheffield wendy is a Crazy derby. They sometimes have to get more police from other citys to have to deal with the numbers
It's funny that you chose to make the video today. Today is the day of the biggest derby in Britain, namely the Celtic/Rangers (known as 'The Old Firm') game. Not only rivals in Glasgow they also have cultural and religious differences. Games between these two have been know to cause riots... in Belfast!
They usually meet four times a year though so it's not a rare occasion.
I agree as someone who went to every game up there, it was crazy even as a female. Back in the day, it was scary at times.
Raised in Canada by a Rangers fan with a Rangers room, every stat from every Celtic match-up on the wall. As for Scotland matches, did you know the Hampden Roar can be heard from France?
Fans from Northern Ireland going over on the ferry and coaches still have to be kept apart with schedules for one side and other schedules for the other!! Otherwise boats and coaches and fans will be wrecked, again 😅
very poor meaningless derby indeed
Back when they used to give each other a full stand it was the best in the uk but with no away fans anymore its terrible such a shame
A football Derby (pronounced Darby in the UK) are matches played by teams which are local to each other or very close, such as Man united vs Man City, or Liverpool Vs Everton or between London teams. The name comes from the city of Derby (Darby) where an annual game of football was played between two ad hoc teams through the streets of the city with a goal at each end, the teams had many players and involved lots of beer drinking, fighting and other violence and lasted a whole day. It was eventually banned when it became too violent, but official matches as I described are still called Derby matches unofficially, the name stuck.
None bigger than the Tyne Wear derby
I'm a Bradford city fan, and in west Yorkshire, it's a bit of a 3 way thing with Leeds and Huddersfield. That chip van you see happened at Odsal, the year after the fire at Valley parade which killed 56 fans. The rivalry between us and Leeds intensified after they did that.
I actually work at Sheffield Wednesday, and next season the steel City derby is on. That's gonna be electric. Maybe you should try to get to one of the games. You'll have a blast.
It’s amazing to my team in here (Sunderland⚪️🔴⚪️🔴)
Hello marra!
Was at all the West Ham Millwall games, and boy were they fun. Fyi the fighting is actually the local firm defending and protecting their local community and the scarfs (fans that go with families etc aka defenseless ones). It's not about fighting because we lost or won
you cant pick a team it picks you
When you lose one of these games, it sucks to be an adult going to work or a kid going to school. You can even suffer in your own household if a family member supports the team that beat you. It's brutal but a way of life.
Football is for the fans. Watch Take Us Home a series about my team Leeds United. It shows how engrained a community is in their team. Leeds fans had a reputation for violence and the team in the 70s were widely known as dirty Leeds. We are turning that round although we're still the team everyone loves to hate. The waiting list for season tickets is above 20 thousand people. We're owned by the 49ers with Russell Crowe and Will Ferrell being in that group too. If you're in Yorkshire during the season I'll take you to a match.....well done on your videos.
One of, if not thee most passionate clubs in football, everyone hates Leeds, and they feed off it. Nobody comes close to
We all hate Leeds scum We all hate Leeds scum 😂
