The founder of the Celtic Soccer Crew sets the record straight and
his life straight in one gripping memoir.With 33 criminal
convictions against him, plus a further 33 cases either dropped or
found not guilty, he has been remanded nine times including one
charge of attempted murder when he was aged just 18. He became
rapidly embroiled in a life of violence and was in and out of
prison just as many times as he was in and out of the hospital. His
was a life dedicated to football violence in the shape of the
Celtic Soccer Crew. O'Kane's memoirs are about the extraordianry
struggle of a gang of football hooligans to survive, despite
discovering an unexpected enemy: the indomitable Celtic Support - a
support that guarded its reputation and good name with a passion
O'Kane hadn't reckoned with, even as a Celtic supporter himself.
But out on the streets and causing mayhem, the Celtic Soccer Crew
(which incredibly included their girlfriends) proved they were not
taking shit from anyone. Now revealed for the first time are some
of those outrageous antics for which the CSC firm are notorious.
Combined with frankness and honesty, they give the reader a real
insight into what turns a man into a career hooligan.
