Synopsis
This is the definitive history of England's notorious Hooligan army. It offers a hard-hitting and unflinching look at why just the thought of English football fans abroad is enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. It presents a remarkable insight into the culture of violence and confrontation that still prevails among some football fans when they travel abroad, to the extent that English football hooligans have been dubbed "The English Disease". The authors have interviewed some of the most notorious hooligans ever to follow the England team and who, over the years, have clashed with just about every competing football team's fans.
