History

Early rivalries

Football League
teams.

Millwall were founded in

the Football League
in 1893.

Charlton Athletic's early years were somewhat hindered by the presence of Woolwich Arsenal, who were the closest team in locality and were well supported. Charlton spent the first years of their history playing in non-professional leagues and did not play either Palace or Millwall.[4] Eventually, Woolwich Arsenal moved to North London, losing the 'Woolwich' from their name, in 1913.[6] The same year Charlton adopted senior status. They became a professional team in 1920, joining the Southern League.[4] Both Millwall and Crystal Palace joined the Football League in the 1920–21 season,[3][5] playing in the Third Division, while Charlton Athletic joined the year after for the 1921–22 season,[4] finally competing at the same level as both their South London neighbours. Wimbledon became a Football League club five decades later in the 1977–78 season, playing their first South London derby against Millwall in 1980.

Four in the same league

There have been two occasions where four of the current five South London teams have played in the same league together. In the 1985–86 season, Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace, Millwall and Wimbledon all competed in the Second Division. Charlton finished 2nd and Wimbledon 3rd, both being automatically promoted. Palace finished 5th and Millwall 9th. The 1989–90 season signifies the only time all four teams competed in the First Division together, the top tier of English football. Wimbledon finished the season 8th, Palace 15th and Charlton and Millwall were relegated, finishing 19th and 20th respectively.

Ground sharing

During

The Valley and Selhurst Park. In 1984 Charlton went into administration. The club were forced to leave The Valley just after the start of the 1985–86 season after its safety was criticised by league officials. The club began a groundshare with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, which lasted for six years until 1991. After another year groundsharing at West Ham United's Upton Park, Charlton moved back into The Valley in 1992. Wimbledon groundshared at Selhurst Park from 1991 until their relocation to Milton Keynes in 2003. The campaign of Wimbledon's fans against the relocation led to the formation of AFC Wimbledon
.

Charlton Athletic v Millwall

The teams first met in 1921, with Charlton winning at

The Valley 2–1, completing the first Football League double over their local rivals. Millwall hold the record for the longest unbeaten run between the teams at 14 games.[20] Between 1922 and 1930, the Lions won eight and drew six.[20] Charlton's longest unbeaten run against Millwall is six games, between 1934 and 1968 they won three and drew three.[20] The longest period the clubs have gone without playing each other is 31 years (between the 1935–36 and 1965–66 seasons), due to being in different leagues.[20] Millwall also have a run of 12 games unbeaten between 1979 and 1992, where they won six and drew six. Millwall have completed a League double over Charlton ten times (in 1923–24, 1924–25, 1931–32, 1932–33, 1968–69, 1970–71, 1971–72, 1988–89, 1992–93 and 2019–20) compared to Charlton's three (in 1921–22, 1934–35 and 1995–96).[20] Millwall have the most wins in a row in the derby with five (twice). Charlton has won two games in a row (four times). The teams didn't play each other for 13 years, competing in different leagues between the 1996–97 and 2008–09 seasons. Millwall are currently on a twelve-game unbeaten streak against Charlton (their joint-second longest), with seven wins and five draws spanning 26 years (1996–2022).[20] Many Millwall fans do not consider Charlton a serious rival due to the one-sided nature of the contest.[21] The Lions have won 37 (50%) of the 74 league fixtures between the teams spanning 101 years, with the Addicks only winning 11 games (14%).[22]

Crossing the divides

Managers

Division Three (south). The following year saw The Lions playing in the new Fourth Division
in which they finished 9th. Seed resigned at the end of that season, but stayed with the club as a director until his death on 16 July 1966.

Alan Mullery was in charge of Charlton from 1981 to 1982 and left to take the helm at Crystal Palace, where he remained manager until 1984.

Bolton Wanderers
.

Iain Dowie was in charge of Crystal Palace between 21 December 2003 and 22 May 2006, when he was allowed to resign from his post, apparently to return to northern England because his wife was homesick. However, eight days later Premier League club Charlton unveiled Dowie as their new manager. Simon Jordan, Palace's chairman, immediately issued Dowie with a writ, claiming that he had misled him about his reasons for leaving the club; Dowie, however, insisted this was not the case, and was publicly backed by Charlton chief executive Peter Varney, who branded the writ "a sad and pathetic publicity stunt", and chairman Richard Murray, who was adamant that his legal team could find no grounds for the writ to be upheld, and suggested that there may be more personal reasons behind the writ being issued. The case was heard in the High Court in the summer of 2007 where a judge ruled that Dowie had lied when negotiating his way out of his contract. His spell at Charlton was largely unsuccessful and they parted company on 13 November 2006, after just 15 games in charge.

Ian Holloway took charge of Crystal Palace in November 2012.

Kevin Philips in extra time. On 23 October 2013, Holloway left the club by mutual consent after less than a year in charge.[31] He managed to gain only three points from their first eight games in the top flight.[citation needed] On 6 January 2014, Holloway signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Millwall, taking over from Steve Lomas.[32] On 6 January 2014 he signed two-and-a-half-year deal with Millwall, taking over from Steve Lomas.[32] He guided the club to Championship safety for the 2013–14 season as Millwall finished 19th, four points above the relegation places. In the 2014–15 season, as Millwall dropped in the relegation places in The Championship, Holloway admitted that he had become an unpopular manager with the Millwall fans.[33] On 10 March 2015, Holloway was sacked, with the team second from bottom in the Championship and having lost five of their last six games.[34] Former Charlton player Gary Rowett became Millwall manager on 21 October 2019.[35] Rowett played 13 games for Charlton in the Premier League before being forced to retire through injury.[36] Former Addicks player Johnnie Jackson managed Charlton from December 2021 until he was sacked in May 2022. Later that month, he signed a two-year contract as AFC Wimbledon managern.[37]

Players

Players who have played for at least two of the four clubs are listed below. As of 18 August 2012 (the last game he played for Millwall),

Darren Ward has played the most games for South London teams, with 317 appearances in total (232 for Millwall, 69 for Crystal Palace and 16 for Charlton). Peter Burridge
played 114 games for Palace, 87 for Millwall and 44 for Charlton. He holds the record for most goals scored by a player for South London clubs, with 104 in 245 appearances.

Notes

  1. The Den
    . The first ever meeting between the sides was on 17 November 1906, another 3–0 win for Palace. The Lions were still based in East London at that time, and did not move to South London until 1910.
  2. ^ 64 games played between 1980 and 2004 by now-dissolved club Wimbledon F.C. against Charlton, Crystal Palace and Millwall have not been included in this total. Wimbledon won 25, lost 23 and drew 17 games against their South London rivals. All games played by AFC Wimbledon are included in this total.
  3. ^ Only first-team games are included in Sutton's total. Sutton's 3–0 win in the Football League trophy on 31 August 2021 against Crystal Palace U21s is not counted, as Palace fielded their academy and not a first-team squad.
