Synopsis
London is home to some of British football's most notorious hooligans. This book explains how these groups have gained and maintained their reputations, why hooligans see a trip to London as a challenge, and how the system of public transport opens up opportunities for those who wish to fight.

Most of the stuff in it is made up and the style of writing is atrocious. There are much better books of this genre and I would recommend Steaming In by Colin Ward and Hoolifan by Martin King. For fiction, I would recommend anything by John King especially, if like me, you are a genuine Chelsea fan and can remember watching from the terraces, the likes of Joey Jones, Doug Rougvie, David Speedie, Pat Nevin etc and not one of these recent glory hunters that have been jumping on the bandwagon the past few years and turning Chelsea into a joke team like Man U.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

While their aim of attempting to explain the attraction and nuts-and-bolts of hooliganism is laudable, the execution is a bit shaky. The book unfolds team by team, sometmes focusing on specific well-known "firms", but often wanders out of the confines of London. The most interesting reading comes in the reprinted accounts of various "action" by past and present hooligans. Of course, how much of this are real or manufactured is hard to tell. For a more interesting fictional insight into this area, try "The Football Factory" by John King or for an academic examination, see "Football Hooligans: Knowing the Score" by Gary Armstrong.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
