THE BOOKSELLER 4 MAY 2001 The good, the bad, the beautiful game: a mix that few can explain and yet whenever football hooliganism breaks out, the government, the football authorities, the police and journalists are all too ready to offer quick-fix solutions - solutions that rarely consider the underlying causes of the violence. Contributors Include: Dougie Brimson: Best-selling author of Top Dog and Billy's Log Nick Lowles: Co-editor of the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight Richard Giullianotti: Author of Football: The Global Game Patrick Barclay: Football columnist with the Sunday Telegraph John Williams: Director of the Sir Norman Chester Centre for Football Research Alan Tomlinson: Author of Great Balls of Fire

I enjoyed Perrymans angle on the hooligan problem which on recent events over the last few days is very prominent but the book was spoiled for me some what by the inclusion of dougie Brimsons never ending waffle, about how he would do this or do that, put a sock in it he spoiled a good read.

Interesting to re-visit the debate now the image of English Fans abroad, and indeed the level of Hooliganism in our own grounds has changed.
Although 10 years on we should not be complacent, much of the book does seem to talk of a problem which newer Football Fans will never have had first hand evidence of.....and long may that continue.
Euro 2012 however will present it's own 'challenges', so a look back at (and an appreciation of the progress made since) the problems in Marseille and Charleroi/Brussels is a timely reminder. Let's pray that other Countries have been as successful at eradicating their own version of the 'English Disease' as we have ourselves, or next summer in Poland and Ukraine could see a return to darker days for Football Fans everywhere.

The book itself contains a very detailed and realistic insight into football hooliganism as a whole, mentioning the past present and possible future solutions to removing hooliganism from the beautiful game. The books content is superb, however the font in this edition is very very small, which could prove an obstacle for those with vision impareness.
