The Brick

Product Information

Old school, Richard Dimbleby ( father of Jonathan and David) fascinating insight into the 1930s - 1950s . Especially him being a reporter on the Italian atrocities in Ethiopia and on the discovery of Auswitz. I’ve just read Bob’s book and although enjoyable, I have read a lot better. Well worth a read and gives a good insight into the man. His book famously claimed he had been “shot at, glassed, stabbed, arrested and jailed” during his 20 years as a hooligan. The following week...honest to God....same seats, same sodding bores, England are playing Australia in the ashes...as Wednesday are playing whoever the f.ook .... A BODYBUILDER and former football hooligan who wrote a book about his violent exploits with the Boro has died aged 42.

However Sargent will spend some of that behind bars - after a judge recently jailed him for 32 months for being caught with cash and cocaine. There are people from all over the country coming to say goodbye, big names from the football scene. The 18-stone self-confessed football hooligan had been a member of one of the UK’s most feared mobs, the Middlesbrough Frontline. The details of his death have now been passed to the coroner. My question would be this. Is it possible to have a really good hardcore passionate support without having a pretty big percentage that want to cause trouble? If you look at some of the most widely accepted top support in the land in years gone by, Leeds, Boro, Man Utd (away), Newcastle (sorry), Sunderland lol , Everton, Birmingham, Sheff Utd, Cardiff etc they all have or certainly have had a reputation for trouble making.His brother added: “We were still very close. His sense of humour was fantastic - it was out of this world.” Individuals and organisations with significant control over the business either by owning at least 25% shares or by virtue of significant influence over the business. Name Family of football fan left brain damaged by hooligans abused outside court as they reveal two years of hell True football fans are passionate about the game and the team, but want to enjoy the atmosphere in a calm and fun way.

A 6ft 5in hooligan was filmed in a football brawl that helped him to get banned from EVERY UK ground for five years. Football- Brian Clough or Alex Ferguson(also started reading Robbo but never finished it as I don't generally read autobiography but was interesting)I've always been as interested in things off the pitch as I am with things on it. I've seen the steady decline in atmosphere at grounds since the terrace days to the modern stadiums and at some stage would love to write a book on the impact all seater stadiums and money has had on the average football fan. It's had a big impact on sorting hooligans out but has it also had a negative effect on the hardcore fanatic? He was also filmed in a disturbance before a match with Sunderland, yet police told The Gazette that McIntyre wasn’t thought to be part of a firm. The author went through phases. Some of them were destructive to himself and others. The author liked violence for much of his life. Most of it was consensual. The people he fought were, mostly, people who wanted to fight. Maybe that makes it alright. Maybe not. Who am I to judge.
