The essence of this book is about the feeling that you get when you
know it's going to 'go-off', it is about the surge of adrenaline felt
during that split-second pause when silence hangs heavy in the air,
before the roar goes up and combat is joined. It is about pain and
despair, and it is about laughter and elation. It is about ordinary
lads with a compulsion for terrace culture and all its trappings.
As
the authors themselves state, this a no-holds-barred account at life at
the sharp end of football. Brutally honest, intelligent and thrilling
this is a book that gets to grips with the phenomenon of the football
hooligan and answers the questions of why and how the violence is
perpetuated.
