Product details

Product Description
Synopsis
Bestselling author and world-renowned hooliganism expert Dougie Brimson picks up where his previous book BARMY ARMY left off, in the spring of 2000 and the horrific murders of Kevin Speight and Chris Loftus at the hands of Turkish hooligans and the riots involving England fans in Turkey.If the media and police are to be believed, the battle to defeat the hooligans has been all but won. But in KICKING OFF Brimson points out that the reality is somewhat different and paints a disturbing picture of what lies ahead for the game if the culture of hate, racism and violence remains unchecked.

5.0 out of 5 stars My review of the book, 2 Nov 2006
By N. Colohan "Nik" (Stanley UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Mr Brimson once again excels in his book writing skills, This is a brilliant and sound book, The way he has gone about getting vital stats information on the hooligan scene is astounding.

I also like the way he makes you think of certain subjects which could be thought of taboo in todays society due to the PC brigade and librals amongst us, I find his books are spot on.

I also want to touch on the chapter named ECHELON as another reviewer has done befor me, If you only buy the book for this chapter alone it is well worth the read, It will blow your head of what is been suggested.

Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking!, 1 Aug 2006
By Steve K. (Sunderland) - See all my reviews
As someone else has mentioned, this isn't the usual hooligan book full of 'we did this, they did that' type stories. Instead, Brimson has put together a thought provoking book which provides, certainly for this reader, a spot on analysis of some of the less savoury things going on behind the scenes at football in the year 2006.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not the usual stuff....., 11 Jul 2006
.....from the author that started this genre of book.

This is a thought provoking read from start to finish and would recomend people actually READ it, DIGEST it and then actually THINK about what has been painstakingly researched and written down so that even the less intelligent amongst us can understand just what is happening to the gam we love.

More of this please Mr Brimson

I approached this book with interest, but quickly tired of it. It read like an aging bloke seeking the approval of a younger reader, and to me at least, didn't stand up to much... Read more
