4.0 out of 5 stars 'Much more than a naval base on the Solent', 5 April 2007

By	Paul Ess. (Holywell, N.Wales,UK.) - See all my reviews

Designed for the coffee table and with excellent use of line and layout - Jake Paynes book is lively and colourful with (thankfully) not much text: you just enjoy the pics and dont have to put up with the usual 'we did them with 30 in '84' heroics which stymies a lot of this kind of stuff.

The VITALLY important, laugh-out-loud 80's fashions without which, no hoolie-book has any credit at all, are well to the fore; as is the obligatory gallery of tatts - some of which are quite tidy.
I usually avoid these things like the plague (I'm more of an Ezra Pound man myself), but I found this refreshingly different.
There's also the funny(and quite touching) story of 'Docker' Hughes, who stood in local elections under the '6.57 Party' banner,and whose manifesto was interesting to say the least; but you need to get Jakes other book to see that.

Moot point: why do these 'boys' look far scarier when they reach their 40's than they do when they're in in their punching prime?
Some of these fresh faced youths look as though they're having trouble holding their cans of ale, while 'friendly' shots 20 years later, make them look like they're getting stockinged up for an armed blag!
Or is that just me being a 'charlie'?
Oh,(and I might be wrong here), butI get the impression they dont like Southampton very much...

4 stars only because there's bit too much England on view for my liking - and as a proud Welshman I cant possibly endorse such subversion with 5. Nice book though Jake - cheque in the post?

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny as you like......mush, 3 Jan 2008

By	B. Wilkinson "NewMaldenCasual" (SW London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having lived in Portsmouth for a few years I got to understand the very psyche of their punters, and this book I think fully encapsulates them. As one cabby down there once told me, everyone knows everyone down there so for football matches getting it together wasn't difficult and going to away games was fairly straight forward: You went north. They say a picture paints a thousand words and that sums this book up. Go through it and you'll crack up, espcially if you know any of them. When you read an hooligan book you find yourself referring to the photo's in the middle, but here its the other way round. I think its blinding
