[Neil Wright · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is a weird fascination to read about football hooligans and hear the stories of clashes during the years.

This books format of asking the same questions to each of the legends does become tiresome in the end especially with some of the wordier answers.

All in all I enjoyed the book but not sure it would be one I'd recommend.

Ps was interesting to see Shrewsbury mentioned a couple of times

Some funny stories & some very eye opening segments too.

Puts the whole hooligan vs social change into perspective. Not every hoolie is a meatheaded bully.
