This is a great book for any football loving supporter, as it looks at the life of a football supporter/casual during one of the most violent periods in British football history. (Based mainly in Scotland with Aberdeen's firm).
Throughout the autobiography, Jay, describes the life of a soccer casual, from the short journeys to the Schooner (pub) before home games, to the long distance ferry to Gothenburg for the most famous game in Aberdeen's history.
The book is full of escapades, described in such a way, that you can image the exact scene, hiding in a pub waiting for the moment that the Motherwell casuals are just passed the entrance waiting to be ambushed by the Aberdeen soccer casuals.
A good short read that will have you crying out for more!
