During the early 1970s Millwall boasted a truly brilliant side, now remembered by Lions fans as "The Class of '71". This was a side that boasted the inspirational Harry Cripps, Dennis Burnett, Derek Possee, Barry Kitchener, Eamon Dunphy, Keith Weller, Doug Allder, Alan Dorney, Bryan King, and more. They missed out on promotion to the old Division One by just one point. In 1974 Millwall hosted the first match to be played on a Sunday with Fulham being the opposition. To get around the law at the time, admission was gained by "Programme Only". On production of a matchday magazine, the bearer was then sold a team sheet bearing the words "Official Programme". The programme was sold for the same price as admission to the ground. Millwall repeated this exercise against Fulham on 27 April 1982, hosting the second game to be played on a Sunday.
