Product Description
EVERYWHERE WE GO gives the most remarkable and frightening insight into the behaviour of the football thug. Written by two people who know the world of the hooligan from the inside, the book features many first-hand accounts of incidents, from both perpetrators and victims, that make chilling reading. It builds up to provide the most comprehensive look behind the matchday madness that has yet been published and, among other subjects, explores how the 'firms' operate, the involvement of the far right in football and the issue of racism.

Format:Paperback
A good book, I was doubtful at first, but eddie and dougie progressed from justifying the violence, to explaining the reasoning and in the end offering solutions based on the knowledge that "we should know"... The England v Ireland game and Hillsborough disaster were particularly well explained.

What goes on in the mind of an english hooligan? This book, written by two former hooligans, tries to show us why some people use football as an excuse for violence. It consists of the personal reports from the two authors and many contributions from hooligans from England. These hooligans have sent in their own stories of how and why they assault other people in connection with footballmatches. If you're really interested in football, then you also have to realise that violence on the terraces is a major problem. This book gives you an idea of the way hooligans work and perhaps how this violence can be avoided in the future. It is an interesting book because it gives the reader an in-depth view of violence seen from the the hooligans point of view. You may be appalled by some of the brutal stories, but you get the answers to why people act that way. There aren't many books on the market concerning this subject, so if you want to know more then this a good place to start.

Format:Paperback
absolutely brilliant this one. for me -as a german football fanatic- it was the best book i ve ever read about hooliganism, its backround and its reality. unfortunately in germany no book such like these of the brimson brothers exist, it s a shame that they haven t been issued in other countries than the uk. i ve got a soft spot for the english football, the english supporter s passion and -well- for the english laddishness as well. if you share the same interests this book (as well as the others written by the brimsons) is an absolute must.

A silly book
Basically, a collection of stories sent in by readers. Written by two supposedly ex hooligans (even though nobody has ever heard of the two of them). Read more

The cause of so many problems.
Enjoy this book on any level you can - BUT don't forget it's people like the Brimson brothers who ruined football for the rest of us, for ever. Read more
