Brings together the frontline faces, the top boys who ran the legendary firms from all over the country. From genuine hard men who have literally fought for their clubs to other eccentric football fans who have gone to great lengths to support their side, the cross-section of well known faces is very broad.
Cass Pennant is a man who lets his fist do the talking. One of the hardest men in Britain, he lives his life on the edge of the law, giving respect where it is due, and dishing out retribution upon anyone who dares to cross him. Cass's life story reads like a Hollywood gangster movie. He tells the amazing stories of how he once saved the life of World Boxing Champion Frank Bruno; how he was shot 3 times in the chest in a South London nightclub; and how he was alleged to have been the leader of the notorious West Ham 'InterCity Firm'. His remarkable life story has been made into a film released in May 2008.
A major new book, from Britain's most authoritative writer on football hooliganism.
L'I.C.F. - Inter City Firm - era l'incontrollabile gruppo di hooligan al seguito del West Ham United. Un gruppo dotato di scala gerarchica che, tra inseguimenti, risse furibonde e duelli all'arma bianca, ha rappresentato per dieci anni il peggior incubo delle altre tifoserie, delle forze di polizia britanniche e della first Lady Margareth Thatcher. Questo è il racconto di quella esperienza dalla penna di uno dei suoi protagonisti più pericolosi.
