Product Description

Skinhead Times, 1994, issue 9

Well 'ard!

Product Description

It is all right for the mugs in their executive boxes and expensive seats to moan about football hooliganism. They've never had to defend their end against rival fans or fight their way back to a train station after an away game. But skinhead Paul West and his skinhead crew don't care what others think of them anyway. They live in a violent football hooligan world that sees them do battle with football casual gangs, other skinheads and rival supporters. A world that is slowly torn apart by football violence, a certain girl, and betrayal. Richard Allen style pulp fiction!

Good to see this on Kindle 29 Sep 2011

By Pivot Hearts

Format:Kindle Edition

Good to see this book on kindle. A good enjoyable read and classic pulp fiction.

Hope this works out for ST Publishing as I was always grateful to them for publishing my attempts at writing.

Saturday's Heroes 30 Aug 2011

By Marcus Blakeston

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

The paperback version of this got a bit of a slating for being a cheap ripoff of Richard Allen, but I think that's more than a bit unfair really. Richard Allen didn't have a monopoly on Skinhead characters, and at least this one is written by someone who actually knew something about skinhead culture (unlike Richard Allen himself). The difference between skinheads and boneheads, for example, was obviously beyond Richard Allen's comprehension.

It's not classic literature, and was never intended to be. It's a short (much shorter, even, than Richard Allen's books) story featuring the type of characters few people seem to be interested in writing about, aimed directly at people who identify themselves with those characters.

You get pretty much what it says on the cover - skinheads, sex, violence and football. Anyone expecting to find some deep, profound meaning is looking in the wrong place.

You must read this! 12 Jan 2000

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Another one of my fave footie books - and at �3.95 its too good to miss. This is the story of a skinhead gang who fight at football games which conjours up images of Richard Allen, but this is far better. The writing, storyline and characters are all more realistic and if this had been released last year instead of a good few years ago it would be massive. Loved it.
