I was at said battle and at the age of 18 it was fcking scary. Most of the lads there were from Manchester but there were 20 or so London blues there and in the 80's we regularly took a 100 or so to away games. A few of them were up for the fight.

I remember around a dozen black lads used to come up from London when the Governors were at it. Once Francis, Berry, Townsend etc got jail Citys mob dwindled. Didnt see much of these London lads again. Pretty sure they were originally Spurs who got the run around from our Young Governors at Euston after we went West Ham last game. (relegated). Spoke to some and they got on with our lads. Weve still got game lads who follow us from Midlands Wales, South. Not in the numbers them Red bastards have though.

What a silly question. Also, who cares? Surely the infighting among Londoners would keep them all entertained.
If silly questions were banned, this gaff would be a lonely place most of the time.
Don't see what's that silly about the question anyway.
The answer's no btw.
Yes there was and I refer you to the battle of London Bridge
This lot were the ultimate "bitters" They despised united and their London support so followed City (I use the word "followed" quite loosely)
They were a gang of nutters out for trouble
The Battle of London Bridge is where they gave Millwall a good kicking, however Millwall took their revenge in Manchester a few years later
Fair enough, well the first bit anyway.
I wasn't meaning City have never had any lads at all from London/ The South.
Even though the title of the thread is .....ANY southern hooligans, I took the post for asking if there was a cockney City firm similar to United, which is why I said, no.

Called themselves the cockney kittens after the cool cats. After a while people used to avoid the 9.30 from Euston on a Saturday morning.
Distinctly remember the Handbags At Hyde Park Corner incident. And if you weren't at the Swiss Cottage Set To, you're not a real Blue.

There was also a lad 'close to spurs' who was a main city player... posts on here.
