Format:Paperback
The usual mountonus hooligan book "Grew up in the 70s, tough working class town, salt of the earth, mods, skinheads etc etc became a hooligan" However told with a lot more honesty than most of the recently published rubbish.
First of all, Marsh doesn't even attempt to come across as a pleasant character but rather a small minded racist thug (Reference to black people as "darkies" Asians as "Bombay Bad-Boys" Driving their "Quickie Mart-Mobile") Who runs with fellow small minded thugs who spend most of their spare time attacking rival fans (Hooligans or otherwise he openly admits to attacking normal fans) Club bouncers, left wing protesters, taxi drivers pretty much anyone he meets. He openly admits to carrying Stanley knives and other assorted weapons and using them at will.
The book is filled with the usual travels across the country, fights with rival fans, robberies in London, Birmingham and Wales, trashing pubs and in general just being a prat really. Like most hooligan books he is now a 30 something still "Doing the business" But leaving the carrying of weapons to the "Younger lads" as the prison sentences are just not worth it. He sets up fake BNP meetings across South Wales (For a laugh) Goes on the run from the police and generally spends most of the book stabbing, bottling and stamping on peoples heads.
I heard the author is now big in the English Defense League (Even though he is Welsh and spends most of the book attacking the "English" and how proud he is of being Welsh) Considering the EDL are supposed to be non racist I wonder if any of those handful of EDL Black supporters have read this book (I am sure they will be impressed with Marsh's attacking "Darkies" in London with roadside traffic furniture)

An outstanding book about Barry section of the notorious Soul Crew. A very honest account of what they have done over the years. This book is a must regardless of which team you support, brilliantly written with several others sharing their stories.
