Book Description

Publication Date: 10 Jan 2002
Hull is England's forgotten city. Its East Coast seaport trawlermen and dockers have long prized a culture of heavy drinking and hard fighting. Against this backdrop, the Swinging Sixties left a legacy of skinhead, suedehead and bootboy gangs who roamed the narrow streets and sink estates, warring over turf and for local pride.

Divided by their support for the city's two rugby league clubs, only one banner could bring them together: that of Hull City FC.

More than a hooligan memoir, City Psychos is an extraordinary account of growing up among the tribes of a gang-oriented city in an era when football violence became a national phenomenon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read 19 July 2003
By shouldknowbetter
Format:Paperback
OK, Hull might not be the most fashionable club in the country but this is certainly one of the best, most honest and genuinely funny hooligan books available. For once the author dosen't portray himself or Hull's followers as an all-conquering army, refreshing and highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the best of the hoolie-biogs. 16 Nov 2002
By Dougie Brimson
Format:Paperback
There have been many 'hoolie' biogs in recent years, some have been great, others have been... not so great. But in City Psycho's, we have one of the best. This book is simply superb.

It is well written, brilliantly paced and like the wonderful Chris Brown book 'Bovver' evokes memories of times and places that many older fans of the great game will be familiar with.

One of the early highlights is the description of how a 12 year old lad (the author) and his mates skirted around the man firm in a desperate bid to get recognised and ultimately accepted. The scene with the Nivea face cream is genuinely laugh out loud funny.

Whatever you do, buy this book because it should be in everyone's collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting history of Hull hooligans 23 Jan 2003
By Mr. D. Batte
Format:Paperback
As a mad Hull City fan its hard to find many books on the club- when will keith Edwards write his autobiography ?-
This details the history of Hull City hooligans over the last 30 years. The main crticism is its repetitive as most battles sound the same despite involving different clubs fans. Yes i can remember a lot of the clashes re-counted as an observer but for a genuine fan craving insight to the club its not for you. But for anyone intrigued as to how City's element started and continued its a must. Credit to Shaun for writing it after all Hull City have still to set the football world alight.
