In his latest book, bestselling author Cass Pennant takes an
engaging and unparalleled look at some of the most volatile and
violent scenes of fans following their football clubs to have
unfolded over the past five decades, and examines the lengths to
which many will go to put one over their local rivals. Here is
history that also examines everything from the changing face of
football violence, to who gets involved - and why. It looks, too,
at how the' firms' operate, both home and away, and at the effects
of the football establishment's often counter-productive attempts
to contain hooliganism on the psychology of supporters. Has the war
on hooliganism been successfully stamped out? Can it ever be won?
This remarkable and informative book gives a frank examination of
football violence to show how different inter-club and
inter-regional rivalries have evolved - and features many
first-hand accounts of incidents that make chilling reading. It
builds up to provide the most comprehensive look behind the
match-day madness and the activities of some of British football's
most notorious hooligans, to give answers as to why these games are
so important to supporters. The history of such infamous 'firms' as
the ICF, the Bushwackers, the Headhunters, and the Red Army has
never been fully documented . . . until now. You're Going Home in a
F*cking Ambulance is an eye-opening study of a problem that refuses
to go away, by a writer who knows his subject inside-out.
