It's Only A
Game
by Jason Marriner
Jason admits to having been "a bit of a nuisance" in the
past. In this, his first book, he tells his story in a frank and
honest way ... and what a story it is. This is no run-of-the-mill
series of "we done them" and "we run them"
tales, but a proper account which blows the lid off the deceitful shenanigans that Donal
MacIntyre got up to in the name of "investigative
reporting". How 344 hours of covertly shot BBC video
was cunningly edited down to an hour to paint an unjust and
prejudiced picture of him. He tells the story of the disgraceful
court case (trial by TV) and his time "away" at Her
Majesty's pleasure. And you'll absolutely love reading the actual
court transcripts of how Jason's legal team put the screws on the
self-important MacIntyre in court, tied him up in knots and made
him sound like a dishonest egotistical pillock who seemed to
believe that he was above the law.
This is a book that you simply MUST read mate, 'cos
this could so easily be YOU!

The
Naughty Nineties: Football's Coming Home?
Martin King, Martin Knight
Football has reinvented
itself. As television money has poured into the game, the
traditional working class fans have poured out. Not by choice but
by economic necessity. Their places on the terraces have been
replaced by posh seats and those in charge of the game are
especially proud that, according to them, the football hooligan
has at last been eliminated from the landscape. But how true is
this much-vaunted theory? Martin King brings his story up-to-date
in this book. Ironically, he finds that although football
hooligans are now a minority, their maturity, experience and
dedication are higher than ever. The firms are smaller but far
more dangerous. The style and character of the mobs have changed
as has the author, who finds himself evolving from participant to
observer as the decade wears on. Despite the picture painted by
the media of soccer violence in previous decades, only in the
1990s is it truly highly organized. Most of the confrontations
occur away from stadiums, sometimes on days when no matches are
being played, so King questions whether "football
hooliganism" is in fact the correct description for such
activity. |

Steaming In
Colin Ward
First published in 1989, STEAMING IN is
now acknowledged as the definitive account of terrace life in the
1970s and '80s. Unvarnished, unflinching, it tells the story of
Colin Ward's experiences at Arsenal, Chelsea and England matches,
at home and away. From Highbury to Luxembourg, Turin and Istanbul,
Ward charts the camaraderie and confrontations, the hatred, the
fear -- and the unexpected friendships between rival fans. By
turns disturbing, horrifying and hilarious, it is astonishing
reading, and draws a vivid picture of numerous colourful terrace
characters. Countless words have been bandied about on the subject
of football hooliganism by politicians, journalists and
sociologists. Now re-issued with a new Preface by the author,
STEAMING IN shows us what it was really like, and reminds us just
how much football has changed. Controversial and provocative, it
has become that rarest of gems -- a classic of football writing. |

other eccentric football fans who have gone to great lengths to

broad, and all of them are prepared to give honest answers to the
sort of questions even a plain clothes football intelligence
officer wouldn't dare to ask. Riveting. |

Terrace
Legends
Cass Pennant, Martin King
Meet the men who, for
decades, have ruled the football terraces. They are the faces
behind the biggest firms in football history; behind the rucks,
the rules and the respect. They have caused chaos for the public
and the press and struck fear into rival fans that have crossed
their path. In this ground-breaking book, the men behind the mobs
have joined forces to reveal their experiences as key figures in
the most notorious terrace fights. Never before has such a
wide-ranging book on this phenomenon appeared because never before
have the men of violence been prepared to co-operate. From the
bovver boys of the sixties and seventies to the football casuals
of the eighties, the names central to the biggest firms - the
names that were to become the stuff that terrace legends were made
of - have all been tracked down and interviewed. They tell their
stories in this essential book. |

Grass
Martin King, Martin Knight, Howard Marks, Phil Sparrowhawk
"Grass"
is the incredible story of Phil Sparrowhawk, a working-class boy
with gambling in his blood. Like most punters, he enjoyed an
incredible run of luck, but finally rolled the dice once too
often. Coming from a family of bookmakers, he wanted to strike out
on his own and before he had come of age he had accumulated a
small fortune from street trading. He then staked his entire
capital on Njinsky in the 1970 Derby - and won. With his now large
capital base, he launched a business importing clothes. Enter
Howard Marks (aka Mr Nice), who was enthused by Phil's Far East
connections and introduced him to the far more lucrative world of
the 'movement of beneficial herbs' - or drug smuggling, as it is
known to the authorities. Phil struck out on his own and from his
new base in Thailand became involved in many large-scale cannabis
deals, whilst at the same time developing highly successful
legitimate businesses. Sailing close to the wind became Phil's
preferred choice of travel through life. Read of his encounters
with Greenpeace, Mother Teresa, gangsters and leading politicians,
Lord Moynihan, religious cults, former pop singers and many other
diverse characters as his life became more and more surreal. The
winning streak came to an end when the US Drug Enforcement Agency
closed in. Phil's £30m fortune was promptly confiscated and he
spent the next four years in two of Thailand's most notorious
jails before being extradited to the US, where he served further
time in a series of penitentiaries. His spirit was nearly broken
as he battled to survive in those medieval environments, where
life was cheap and the drugs even cheaper. "Grass"
details the life of an ordinary young man, with a taste for
adventure, who ended up on the most extraordinary journey. Sit
back, take a deep breath and enjoy. |

years at a State Penitentiary in Indiana, but was released in 1995
after serving seven years. This is his own story. |
