Paul had worked for the last ten years as a scaffolder and was currently a rigger on a platform off the coast of Aberdeen with Cape Scaffolding. My uncle worked with this man and he never mentioned it once until my uncle was sat in the cabin reading the book. Even then he was unassuming.

True football fans are passionate about the game and the team, but want to enjoy the atmosphere in a calm and fun way. 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. 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.Troublemakers disguise themselves as football fans to carry out violence, but they are living in the dark ages – football is a family game.” Most Read Old school, Richard Dimbleby ( father of Jonathan and David) fascinating insight into the 1930s - 1950s .

Is it possible to have a really good hardcore passionate support without having a pretty big percentage that want to cause trouble?
