Millwall 99 I was there that day and millwall got seriously battered outside the ground that day
We were 900 strong by 9 am didn’t know what hit um ✊🏻
Took some bottle for millwall to come under the grandstand an boot the doors open,unfortunately for them they couldn’t have bumped into a worse crew that day
@@stephendavid8031 yeah I was in the front when they burst out a load of them got seriously hurt that day they were all sparked out on the floor
Was waiting to go into the grandstand and 2 Wall tried to get in they would have got killed if it wasn’t for steward
Seen the video it would have been an embarrassment if Cardiff hadn't done Millwall under that stand must have been a thousand on to 20/30 wall that got out so wall get my respect here
Could listen to this lad for hours, much respect mate good luck for the future.
Good firm Cardiff always have been they are right up there 👍⚒️
this fella speaks the most sense I've heard by a hoolie in years. I was in Cardiff for the Millwall match when we ( United) won in 04. We had a v good turnout that day. Boro got the better of us in 97 at OT- these things happen. just like swansea never really looked for it in Cardiff, not many came looking for it in Salford back in the day. As JE says though, the odd loss is important, it gets rid of the hangers on which always latch on to big mobs like United & Cardiff, a bit of a kicking gets rid of the deadwood. 40 Wigan caught a few of us out on a non match day once & it served the purpose of removing the deadwood that was attaching itself at the time. PS it's a miracle to hear anyone give United any credit so fair play.
Always rated Cardiff remember going to Ninion Park with us West Ham respect had good times back in the day respect from a Hammer 👍⚒️⚒️
Top interview guys, all the best from South Manchester 😊
Nailed it it's how game you are you stick together no running one gets done we all get done
Worked with this fella onsite in Abergavenny. He’s a character
Cardiff, great city, great people, they have no false front very down to earth people. Always a great away day and good night out.
From a Forest fan (not a hooligan)
big up Dave
Go to Cardiff nearly every week now absolutely love the people there and the place
Cardiff are the best I’ve seen at stoke respect 👍🏻
Ahh Stoke and the famous Nifty Fifty.
Mad reputation as the fastest on their toes in England!
Swans fan here, great listen this and a great podcast too - keep it up Cullan and the team!
Bigbup podcast let 2 out next weekend .. also content with the yank hooligan and evo this weekend unmissable
Was there at Cardiff 94 and also first in the doorway at Swansea the Yr after. Happy days
Cardiff has always been a handful. Loved the 80's.
Absolute top man loved the podcast, no bullshit tells it how it is .
Just listened to this had uncles in frontline always said no weapons just hands feet there thing pal said good days he said they turned up everywhere and up for it respect to Cardiff lads
I went to Cardiff back in 77 78 and we got the best of them but years back they had one off the best firms going top firm
Always remember the 70.s when man utd came down they built the fence on the grange end separating us from the bob bank was amazing could tell you some crazy storys even when chelsea tryed to take the grange end them days were crazy totenam had a huge hard crew could tell you bigger storys than you could imagine let me tell you and millwal O.M.G .
There was 30 from Port Talbot and some from Cardiff, who got chased into the sea by 40 jacks.They had been bringing it all day, and copped it against a decent Jack mob
Love this podcast! Definitely one of my favourites now. 👏👏
Went with Leeds for the FAcup match in early 00s and have to say the atmosphere was intimidating, electric proper old school ground Ninian.... didn't see any trouble as we lost and Cardiff were in dreamland but things would have been different no doubt if we'd have won
Big respect for this guy but for me it was all about our club, the football always came first, the violence second. I did it cos i love cardiff city fc. Its in my blood, born and bred. Good interview this, said it how it is 👍🏽
Knuckledragger u wana grow up bellend !
Double Double yu nugget
I miss the 80s mid 90s, llanrumney blues now Malaga living forever keeping the faith CCSC.
Andy Nicolls (Everton) was definitely a football lad. No getting away from it, very well known in those circles.
Yeah andy is well respected by boro
Thanks David x
🙏🙏
Andy nicholls is welsh
So what
Soul Crew gonna be even more of a handful now they’ve got Derek Diablo 😂
Had some good fun with your lot at Hereford over the years
I was present with some Newport lads( who were Millwall fans) first game of the season 1999..3 pm KO....what were they thinking...some Mayors parade so Old Bill stretched to say the least. Wall had a good turn out, very game but Cardiff were out in full force....so respect both ways....you don’t get many days like theses ever. Full on from start to finish with helicopter landing in the park on the way to the ground lol.....a massive cast iron drain being lobbed over between both sets....could have seriously hurt someone if it had connected.....I remember getting the gates open after the game with and Cardiff literally frothing at the mouth..hahaha...crazy day.
Brilliant content again well done jon evans great story 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks justin
Many a great day/night in Cardiff , love the South Africa bar in the centre , seen them a few times in Wigan , peaceful the last time as they brought a firm into the centre , had a good drink with them ...despite a young one trying to pick pocket one of ours ,,,great days
2016 Euros n this geezer still riotin' 😂
Thought Jonathan may have given a mention to a mad day in Bradford in the mid 90s. Good listen with none of the usual bragging or bullshit. Top man Jonathan
Big things coming very soon Gareth ! Hope your weel
@@thecentralclub all good man
Was that the one that was last game of the season

Great podcast lads,,good too see Jonny doing good,,top fella,, great watch,,

Best video you have done yet. Get him on again and ask the question about the brawl with the Moroccans, think it was in the late 80's early 90s ?? Also any more stories of Wales Away??? Would love to see this guy back on your podcast. Clearly the real deal.
Big love mate yeh youl defo see more of him! Stay Central
Top podcast mate probably better than the abraham podcast mate..Jonathan is a top fella keep up the good work bro

Sick podcast 👌 nice to hear him about United herd stories about that firm that day down Cardiff proper heavy mob
Thanks for the respect for Boro you have Jon, my mate was at the game you mentioned and in his own words "Those fucking Welsh are mad bastards and game as fuck" UTFB :)
Respect..boro boss firm boss lads..had brilliant time with them..

RIP Lemmy ! UTC
Big respect from Pompey 👌
Great listen .
Used to go over the Den years back and Cardiff would turn up year after year without fail and year after year, they'd fail to make it past The Railway Tavern. Went there once with Millwall and it was like Zulu - fighting all the way back to the station. There were thousands of them. Cardiff were game and that was all that mattered.
Big up Jimmy respect is mutual
Funny how you day Zulu, shoe in the other foot type of thing for the welsh
As a Hull lad I don’t rate swansea, they jump on stragglers & have no bottle. Cardiff are a different story.
Just been last Saturday . Weak 💙💛💚🏴
@@anthonycox3493conclusion on one visit, sure kid.
Totally the opposite lad. This dole crew bunch are shit houses...and what an embarrassing video this is
You’re a fine one to talk. Hull, one of the biggest shithouses ever, thirty of your lads jumped two innocent Swansea lads in April 2023. There’s footage on UA-cam. Don’t worry, we don’t rate hull either, Grimsby and Lincoln far more game than you tigers. Mauled by the Tigers. How fuckin embarrassing
@@anthonycox3493different days different stadium
Remember 95 welsh cup final 40 of us in Cardiff pub soul crew came went off big time outside pub we won game aswell
Evo.. Recall the Soul Crew U5s days, you certainly learnt the hard away fast.
Kitchener Rd/Grangetown...
Chuck he said he remembered and also he said there’s a wall in grange where it still says UA-cam troop from82
Youth troop
Yes mate..can remember them days..learnt fast..respect
Top class podcast and a good honest account from a genuine top lad .Met Cardiff a few times with bwfc and I have always rated them and probably one of the top firms of all time when hooliganism was at the forefront.
Big shout out Ian! Stay Central
Thxs lad for the coment....proper days..Bolton were no mugs either..respect...
I’ve always said myself, Cardiff in the 90s would’ve done anyone, respect from an Albion fan👊🏻
Up the n40 had some of the best rows with you boys great 👍
big up Stoke
@N40 top mob stoke had some run ins with your lot,you’ve also come to Cardiff looking for it not many can say that respect ✊
Stoke always game with massive numbers..
Good old days
Hi one John, looking good pal
Glad you liked the this mate!
Anymore podcasts with old school hooligans like this ?
Annis Abraham .. more to come aswell
Blue army blue army ⚽💙
Neil Williams was a Wrexham frontline Kop legend. Sadly Neil passed away in 2019.
Ginger hair lad?
@@je6521 That's him proper old school sadly passed a couple of years ago.
@@andynicholls2639 thxs lad...how did he die?..yeah he was a good man..didn't know him really well..but did bump into him a few times...p.s hope you didn't take offence to the comment i made on the podcast about you..i am sure you've had worse said or done to you mate..respect tho..
@@je6521 Natural causes mate but he'd lived life to the full...proper football lad. No offence taken comes with the territory of doing the books etc can't please everyone. Catch you for a beer next season when we get relegated!
@@andynicholls2639fucking hel l sad that ...yeah defo have a beer mate...think we got more chance of us going up then you coming dwn tho..😀..take care mate
Top boy big respect 👍🏽❤ CF11 9..

You come across as a good bloke john,how footy has changed these days !!!
Amen Bobby!
Top man Ev , the Canton chip shop case thrown out of court , due to witnesses from Hereford failure to appear , good old days !
Big up russ! Love
Funny about Forest we are the worst cos of what was said in a book. Bill Gardner said Forest was a very hard away day. Just depends on you’ve experienced I suppose
Took me a while to get there but I finally see what he means.
Meaning? Lol
I remember our fans kick off in old ninan park against stoke
👀👀
Quality podcast.. spot on about France as well 👌👍🏼 them Russians were different breed
Thanks Shane! I bet, Stay Central
My dad there man❤
What a guy! Big up dan
big evo
Love you dan xx
Love u dan xx
Your old man talks straight no bullshit !! U should be proud mate respect ⚒️
Soul crew top boys. Met up with Notts County and Mansfield... even England. Good lads
Big respect x
When do the soul crew drink with Mansfield ? :)
I never said drink...
@@redhillred1980 meet up for a coffee ? :)
@@G.E.MTFC_ Mansfield don’t go with Cardiff 😂😂😂
Mansfield - forest
I think Cardiff are undoubtedly right up there, though I think most clubs would say when they have their best mobs together, they rarely get done, and its always when they have reduced numbers or only a few faces.
Yes Nicholas! Stay Central
Soul crew got done in Manchester at England game runners
Of course..if you got the right boys with then no you shouldn't get done...fortunately for us we had 30 lads who could row football or no football
@@soulokeh61 jog on..mug
@@soulokeh61 my friend,there is no point in trying to get through to a Cardiff fan they are all deluded ,everywhere they go they have done everyone! I'm a Swans fan and the times we have done them on their own soil and our own they can never admit to it. Yes they done us on many occasions but only when they had large numbers,but at least we can admit when we were done!
Really interesting content. Though lots of contradictions. He mentions there was 900 Cardiff outside Martha's in Swansea but being out numbered was no excuse as to why swans got battered. Then he used being outnumbered as an excuse at Newbury races??
There were more Cardiff at Newbury than Swans
I've never met such story tellers
Im a jack and i went in the bob bank when cardiff played leeds. They were singing in the swansea slums then too. I was on strict orders from my friends from the mellons to stay hush 🤣🤣🤣
I was there
@@thecentralclub it was fire in all fairness. Electric atmosphere 🏴
*The Mellows ;)
@@berlinocelot aye costa da mellons. Beautiful part of cardiff 🤣🤣. I lived there for 18 yrs and fecking loved every second of it. Best 18 yrs of my life ❤️

It was indeed. Stay Central
I used love cardiff playing merthyr in the preseason friendlies I remember the Wyndham pub windows going went through the merthyr soul crew
Great watch that Top lad Jonathan get nils on next mate 👍
No need for that we dont need to cheapen the show by having two faced snakes on like that his whole family are muppets
Jonathan & nils bothed with my mate David White
I was at that Welsh cup final game. I’m sure it was Wrexham against Hereford. I went with my brother and old man. It kicked off on Westgate Street. Loads of Cardiff inside the Arms park.
I was at Hereford wrexham game Hereford bus pulled up at traffic lights we in pub there windows started going in on bus
Man like Colonol Bulbacello🏴

Didn't want to bait you up mate..
Shout out to the old school Llanishen heads
Big the crystals crew
Big shout to fozzy big jullian mogsy jeff blower..all that crew top lads
As an arsenal fan the best I’ve seen is Cardiff Had some wars with them Followed by boro Millwall man United Stoke and recent hate to say it spurs! My pal lives in Cardiff and the people are different class!!
Big love Tony! Stay Central
Yeah haven’t the reputation like some but if you meet the right people there as good as any firm I’ve seen just don’t give it the large like some of these pretender hooligans.
Remember arsenal once at Paddington in the 80s ..they looked proper..denton and that lot..big up the herd...d30
Anybody that was doing it when it mattered knows arsenal had a proper firm. Remember having it outside the vic in stoke with arsenal proper toe to toe total respect. Cardiff also got a lot of respect for game as fuck
Real talk
Chrisssy! We need to do a shoplifting special 🤯🙈😆🙏

My old man says the scene was dead by 1979 when all the ponces turned up from the offices!? 😂🤷♂️ I guess old school is a matter of perspective. He ran with Pompey 72ish to 76ish, said going to Cardiff was mental! I think he said Cardiff? 🤔 said there was a big slope that went down to a wall that was a dead end as such?
Swear he says Cardiff? 🤔
Any chance of getting a member of the original Boro Frontline on,
One day, we’re doing more with Jon and some other and they have good contacts with the boro lads
@@thecentralclub Boro encounters would be good.👍🏴🏴🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
@ apparently the boro lads who made the Boro firm a top firm, (more respected and feared then our so called neighbours who both being city's have more in numbers but it's not how many men you have its how big thier balls are, lol) back to my point though its very rare to see a member of the Frontline on a podcast even though they have been victorious where others have failed they rarely go on about "back in the day" even though I'd love to hear about it, it's just the way it is, wish you the best of luck in getting one of England's top firms on your podcast, it would be such a rare treat it's guaranteed to get the viewers in, in my opinion anyway, UTB
Great podcast, genuine man 👍🙏
I remember going away with Walsall to Wrexham 2007ish I think and a Walsall fan decided to burn a Welsh flag in the town centre, absolute carnage man good firm.
I also remember Walsall having a go with Cardiff at the bezla 2004/5ish I think, never forget it I remember this big guy look like a maori with no front teeth came charging out and just jumped into the walsall lot and again carnage that day.
🤣🙏 those were the days x
Wxm Front Line 💯
Another good listen (off a jack), would be quality if you could get one of the boys from our side to have a say on the Swansea/Cardiff "differences"
Yes owen one of the more mature Jack fans who appreciates instead of trying to debunk or out the opposition!
I’d love to mate I have made enquiries but nobody has come forth
@@thecentralclub i know a bloke in work with me that is a former Swansea hooligan and said that cardiff city was the best firm he’s been up against he also said “ it hurts for me to say that “ genuine bloke aswell. would love to hear a Swansea prospective. i’m fascinated about the 80s and 90s early 00s hooligans.
@ Wayne kieft Swansea have never been rated an that’s a simple fact by hardly anyone in the game you make nobody’s top 5 and very very rarely follow wales as you know what’ll happen,as this lad says yes you’ve got a firm and yes you got some good lads but you’ll never be in Cardiff’s league,never have been,never will be again that’s a simple fact that 99.9% of the lads in the game know……you’ve very very rarely come looking for it in Cardiff and the docks lot man for man you’d not get near your biggest claim to fame is the swim away,throwing a few chairs in the 90s and turning up at the owain glyndwr when the game had started and chased a handful of drinkers whilst we used to swamp your place regularly and always go looking for it again a fact
@@stephendavid8031 bang on mate
@@thecentralclub Keep shut mate,you weren't even thought of back then or at least you were still running around with a napkin on and a dummy in your gob! You are just listening to people telling their fairy stories! I don't doubt that Cardiff had the bigger and better firm! If Swansea had the same numbers it would have been so different! But Cardiff certainly didn't always get it their own way! But their stories of events are always inflated and blown out of proportion! When it comes down to the Football who has the better team???? Say no more!
