The two teams played against each other for ten seasons in this league.[3] The first contested competitive game between the sides was played on 17 November 1906, with Palace winning 3–0[3] although the fixture was not yet a South London derby – Millwall were based in East London until 1910. Up until that point the most successful team based in South London was Woolwich Arsenal, who were the first Southern member elected to the Football League in 1893.
