Humorous and filled with characters and different stories alike. A fun read :)

[Benoît Gheeraert · Rating 2 out of 5]

Two old geezers reminiscing.

[Lee Reed]

This book is full of hypocrisy and jealousy. Note to author: Henry V army that fought and won at Agincourt and goes down as Englands most stunning land victory ever was actually launched from Southampton. I know this must break your heart sorry.

[Matt Perry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Whist not particularly well written, this book gives, for me, a fascinating insight into the world of 70s and 80s football violence. The interviews with some of the key characters of the era are incredible, hearing about how it was as much about the clothes as the violence. Disturbing, brutal, honest, funny - you get you money's worth!
