Hearts are here
Welcome to an Edinburgh that doesn't exist in the tourist guides. An Edinburgh where youths fought each other over territory, style and football.
During the Eighties, Edinburgh's underbelly became a battlefield for mods, punks, skinheads and casuals. And as Hearts struggled on the pitch, it was their hooligan following that was making all the news. Towns and cities all over Scotland knew the meaning of Gorgie Aggro. It was the excitement of being part of an invading hooligan army that attracted C.S. Ferguson and his friends to Hearts, first as a young gang mod and then as one of the first recruits to the infamous Casual Soccer Firm.
Here's his story. Bring out your riot gear - Hearts are here!
Also includes an extract from Gavin Anderson's Fighting For The Red, White And Blue.
