Underpants Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) anyone read the book.just read about it on the bolton news website wondered if it was anygood Doubt it. Names and places change but the story's are basically the same. It will have to go some to beat the worst hoolie book I've read. It was a Chelsea one - utter utter laughable bollox.

Underpants Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Any half decent hoolie book would give good space to some kickings and close calls that all outfits get. Can't remember the name of the Chelsea one I read but it was a fact that, occrding to the book, no one got the better of them and they ran everyone who came across them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaststandlower Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 the brothers will of been the brimson brothers....they are watford but have done alot of books between them. the worst ive read is the hull city one...closley followed by the sheff united one. both terrible books. steaming in by colin ward is the original and best book on the topic in my humble opinion. Could very well be the Brimson brothers, Its been nearly 10 years since I read that book so my memory of the facts aint spot on just remember it being a good read and a bit of an eye opener after listening to the old brigade talking about the 70's all misty eyed. I'm off on holiday next week anyone suggest a good read on this topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was exaggerated was his crew at the England v Finland at Anfield walking down the road singing "You can stick your fcuking England up your arse". The pub and road were half empty as it was almost kick-off time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
