Football Hooligans - 9780859654074

Football hooliganism first made headlines after the 1909 Scottish Cup Final was abandoned as supporters fought running battles on the pitch. By the late 1960s, violence at football matches was ingrained in British youth culture, and quickly spread across Europe as young, working-class men sought to escape the drudgery of their daily existence. Throughout the following decades football hooliganism developed, with pitched battles fought across the world. Using a wealth of images that detail landmark hooligan outbreaks and the diverse fashions of the combatants, Hooligans explores the development of this violent and compelling phenomenon.
