About the Book

For those who need to pigeonhole it as a football firm book it has its share of encounters. From generals, foot soldiers, spotters and bystanders, and for a change the opposition. Who beat who was always contentious, but now times have changed and both sides older and wiser are willing to tell it straight.

The labels that the pioneering fashionistas adorned have been comprehensively explored. The photo section sets new standards showing the way they behaved.

From Blues landing heavy to Red Star Belgrade and the back cover I defy any man not to smile.

Any body who has a love for youth culture books from The Wanderers, The Warriors, Skinhead, Suedehead, A Clockwork Orange, Quadrophenia, and Trainspotting to The Football Factory will enjoy this timely mix of social satire and ace faces nostalgically recalling "them were the days."

Jim Brown of UB40 has the final word and pavement philosophy in the form of Kingy's poetry is crow-barred in for creative measure.
