Hibs Boy: The Life and Violent Times of Scotland's Most Notorious Football Hooligan

Product Information

How desperate can you get, he was nowhere near this scene in the 80's or since, but you can tell he probably tugs his todger romanticizing the stories from the baboon Blanche and the rest of the hobo mob. Apart from the very occasional defeat, I can only say I have have nothing but good memories of going over the bridge of doom to ER. He's not going to pretend that he's desperately sorry for the axe attack on a rival that left his victim's friends trying to hold his severed back together – injuries so horrific that they made a female police officer faint at the sight of them.

One hooligan was quoted as saying that "We'll be doing it for Hibs, for pride of the club, for pride of Edinburgh". The SNF was unreservedly right wing in its political motivations, and there was media suggestions that it had been encouraged by groups such as the British National Party.

This new friendship of youths from different areas of the city was a contrast to the existing area gang ethos that had been a feature of the capital since the 1950s. One, he claims, asked him to use his football connections to "sort out" a Scotland international whose debts to the crime lord had escalated to six figures. An away match in November 1983 against Airdrie resulted in a clash with the well-known local hooligans, Section B, which further strengthened these connections and helped bolster the young Hibs boys confidence into forming a casual-style hooligan firm. Twenty-two were arrested during incidents on the High Street, Rose Street and outside Waverley Station while a Leeds fan was hospitalised with head injuries.

I've never understood why knuckle-draggers are given the platform to, firstly, air and glorify their antics and then profit from them!

CCS leaders downplayed links to drugs, stating that some members would have been involved in crime “regardless” of their association with the firm. By the time the CCS was first active around 1984, many of the city’s street gang members would be among its ranks as hooliganism became a major problem in both Scotland and England. But Hearts used to take over 10,000 fans to easter Rd, Hibs support at Tynescastle was a disgrace, to the point where in 89 I think Hearts split the gorgie rd end to allow more Hearts fans in. I am sure that he was jailed or at least on trial for a large scale fight (casual related) in a Dunfermline pub in the late 90's.
