Service Crew: The Inside Story of Leeds United's Hooligan Gangs

Product Information

A football was produced and the lads proceeded to have a kickabout by one goal as others tried swinging on the crossbar. Let them get on with it, why fill our overcrowded prisons with these when people commiting real crimes get a slap on the wrist and sent home.

Brighton backed off and decided instead to bombard us and the pub with anything they could get their hands on – bottles, glasses and about fifty pub chairs. As a result of this incident, Leeds were banned from European competitions for four years - although this was later reduced to two years on appeal. Unfortunately, there are victims of this, namely the poor lads who got stitched up in Operation 'Wild Boar' in 87. This books is different from those mentioned above as it is written by Caroline Gall, a journalist, in a more documentary type style with newspaper extracts and interviews of some of the main perpetrators of the fighting and hooliganism that occurred at Leeds United matches throughout the last 50 years.But as the book progresses you still elements of respect and at times remorse for actions especially when they affected fans not associated with the firms. Of course the Football Intelligence Unit of the NCIS woulnt think of monitoring a site like this would they?

They surprised the couple, who turned out to be two blokes who jumped up and ran away after being disturbed. Leeds are still up there as one of the better mobs in the country, it will be a bit dodgy up there if what i'm hearing is right, especially if their old lads are out for it.The service crew have a reputation within the hooligan groups for being one of the most violent firms in English football history. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. After reading so many similar books on hooligan culture I have to say that the Service Crew book comes out as a fantastic read. With Millwall we start in our teens into our twenties, we meet and settle down with a sort, have kids but don't stop being active up until our late fifties/early sixties. Another cause of the violence in the 80's and we are seeing this repeated now in Div 3, was the hopelessly inadequate stadiums and the incompetence and aggression of the local plod in dealing with what they perceived as 4-5 thousand drunken, plundering Yorkshiremen, onley too eager to rape and pillage, when the reality was just a bunch of lads wanting to watch their team and have a few beers and a laugh.
