Your opinions would be greatly received at present my son is studying at
school and has been given some Projects to study.
They have been told to do a History of social History In uk, each one has been given 2 subjects they must pick.
They are not allowed to do the same subjects and so as been very hard as i spose we can understand.
Anyway with a throwaway comment his Picked FOOTBALL HOOLIGANISM ITS CULTURE & HISTORY.
His thinking of going on various web sites etc but as i said would be good to get comments from the ord man etc
So WHO would you say are the TOP 5 worst/best/famous/infamous in England ??????
Not a nice thing but is part of our History, his found trouble written about in the late 1800s !
Ive seen stuff on here about football at various times so know there to be a few football fans/Lovers come on here, or even if not a footie fan what youve heard read etc
Any help Appreciated

Yes, but was not asking anyone to do ALL his homework just a few ideas
to throw around.
Most of the Books and info is only somebody elses opinion anyway.
Like to hear ord folks ideas , bit like Jade Goody Papers , Media seem to love her most people i meet hate her, its Honesty

Back in my day from about 1970 onwards, when it was called something else, it would have been :-

Millwall
Leeds
West Ham
Chelsea
Man Utd

"Soccer Tribe" by Desmond Morris (1981) may give an historical perspective on the problem.

You could try the documentary 'Trouble on the Terraces', a big seller on video back in the nineties and so should be available on DVD. I haven't seen it but understand it has a reputation.

Millwall
Leeds
West Ham
Chelsea
Tottenham

Amongst these parts the likes of the ICF, Headhunters, yid army etc are infamous and people like cass pennant, bill gardner etc are stuff of legends
