Product Description

Product Description

Andy Nicholls is known to every football intelligence officer in Britain. For twenty-five years, he was one of the most actrive hooligans in the country, a leading figure among the violent followers of Everton FC

Classified as a Category C thug, the worst kind, he amassed more than twenty arrests and has been deported from Belgium, Iceland and Sweden. His terrace fanzine was closed down by the authorities and he was banned from every ground in the UK.

Revealing the truth behind the vicious knife attacks of the so-called County Road Cutters and the bitter Merseyside and Manchester rivalries that left scores injured, SCALLY caused a storm of controversy on first publication. It is widely acknowledged as the most revealing, most shocking book ever written about soccer gang culture.

Having read most of the first generation of hoolie books, where the authors always seemed to give a good kicking to every firm they ever met regardless of the numbers, it was refreshing to read an account from someone who wasn't afraid to say he was put on his backside a few times. Nicholls has probably had the benefit of learning from the mistakes of his predecessors and shows some degree of humility in the various tales he tells. This makes for a more honest and believable read than many of the other titles available in this ever increasing genre. Yes there's lots of reference to, '...80 of our top boys were met by 150 of their mob etc' but it never descends into the realms of superhero-style fantasy where he is battering whole firms on his own. The book is well written and gives detailed, and often humourous, accounts of various clashes they had, both on home soil and in Europe, over a number of years. One of the best books of its kind that I've read, and that's discounting the fact I'm an Evertonian!!

having never been a part of the hooligan side of football i found most of these types of books over the top,for me football away days have been about the banter the beer and having a laugh not going home to the mrs and kids with black eyes,back in the 80s you couldent help but bump into trouble now again and some of the tales i found to be bigged up but in this book theres a refrence to a game that i was at and in fairness to the author as i remember it he got it spot on and i have no doubts mr nicholls has told the truth hear to the best of his memory so if you read the hoolie books andys has to be the best ive read to date and as you read it you start to feel as you know a bit more about him and i for one am pleased hes found some thing in his life to make him happy,nice andy..
