Probably. Hillsbrough had nothing to with the game or fans. It was a horrendously managed sporting event where the powers that be. 'Forced' too many fans into a full part of ground. Causing overcrowdimg. A crush. Deaths. All football hearts go out to Liverpool after Hillsbrough.

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.

[@ShaneWalta]

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.

[@timcliffsmith]

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.

The last time my club (Southampton) played our rivals (Portsmouth) was 2019. We won 4-0 away

[@fatfruit43]

Exeter v Plymouth is probably a separate video for that rivalry

[@garyballared2077]

you cant pick a team it picks you

[@dianewatts486]

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.

[@finchpyn]

One of, if not thee most passionate clubs in football, everyone hates Leeds, and they feed off it. Nobody comes close to

[@jasontaylor9076]

We all hate Leeds scum We all hate Leeds scum 😂 I'm a Leeds fan btw 👍

[@user-lx9jy7cy6r]

Was at the Swindon/Oxford clash. 🤬😳 It's a lot calmer these days. Beer and football do not mix. Hundreds of years of rivalry when you live next to the ground. Sometimes, you feel like you are surrounded😮

[@GazGaryGazza]

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

[@FridgeCommando]

It doesn't mention Scottish football, biggest derby of all, Celtic v Rangers.

[@Nebularsz]

I'm guessing you don't read? it literally says derbies in ENGLISH football, not the uk

[@FridgeCommando]

@@Nebularsz I can read, and I can write, I fully understand the title, the fact is, my statement was correct, it does not mention Scottish football. If you are looking for a spat, forget it, no interest in corresponding with somebody trying to seek attention. END.

@@FridgeCommando why would it mention a Scottish football team when its about English football teams? Of course it doesn't mention a team from Scotland when the video is about English teams >..

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.

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.

Tottenham vs arsenal play each other at least twice every season and arguably the most entertaining games in the english prem, also the most hated footballer is a guy called sol Campbell. He was the Tottenham captain and after saying he would never leave he joined arsneal their biggest rivials, the first game he played against Tottenham he had to be police escorted in and out the ground, check it out 👍🏼

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.

There is nothing better than a Derby 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Was missing my clubs for a long time and why I started traveling round Europe to experience different ones 😀 Eventually my mates convinced me to start documenting them on here

[@steoneste]

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.

[@bravo2966]

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.

[@davidsearle8811]

If you come over in the summer be sure there’s a game on. Season finishes soon. Mid August it starts again.

[@samsativa245]

If you wanna go to a game in summer you'll have to wait til August when the season starts

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Joel. When I go outside Yorkshire, with my name, someone usually says "Leeds United!" I am however a Bradfordian and Rugby League fan. That fire in the video was at Odsal, the rugby ground. City were playing there after the fire you saw previously at Valley Parade. Some Leeds fans had set a chip van on fire and were taunting the City supporters with "Fire!" I know that is not representative of all supporters, but for me it is always the thing that comes to mind, because of where it was. For a lovely example of a Leeds fan, see Lucy on Benidorm Stuff channel. You really should go there to see British folk on holiday. If there are no football games, it being summer when you visit, come to a Rugby League game.

[@-heathen-3622]

The most hilarious part of the video is there's no mention of cardiff and swansea... the only 'bubble trip' in the efl.

[@siroswaldfortitude5346]

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.

i respect your decision to take your time choosing a team to support. must be strange having to choose at your age as, here in the uk, we choose at a young age, influenced by friends or family. im interested who you choose. love the music in this vid. but tbh... requium for a dream would make a baked beans advert seem epic!

A real/true derby are 2 teams from the same city, so most of these don't even count as proper derbies. The Sheffield derby restarts next season and believe me the weeks build up and derby day is horrendous the rivalry and hatred are off the scale. WAWAW

The Derbys between rival teams in the premiere league are held every year. There’s the first leg and second leg and each leg is played at one of the stadiums of the two teams so each team gets to play at home once and have the home advantage. It is not a rare occasion. I used to live about a mile or two from the Main Road stadium where Manchester City used to be, before they moved to Etihad and I remember standing outside my house hearing the roar of the crowd all the way from the stadium, it was brilliant!!

depends which part of the league your in, but if both teams are in the same league, then it takes place twice in the season once at home and once away

Got season tickets at the Emirates so been many times. Defo a good atmosphere in the NLD. To be honest doesn't matter what derby game you go to, all have a different energy to them.

[@jakeb1992rjeb]

The home fans used to wait at the train stations and bus stations for the away fans to arrive back in the 70s and once the police started protecting those areas the different fans used to organize places to meet so they could fight. There was little cctv back then so the men where allowed to be men and knew the violence they stepped into. That was the passion they had. Pride was a much bigger thing back then. The sport l still has it but in a different way and probably a more sophisticated and friendly way. Some scraps still happens but it’s mainly now just young rowdy lads chanting in stone island jackets
