First Vintage Departures edition of American journalist Bill Buford's unflinching account of English football hooligans in the 1980s Buford first became interested in the subject w hen living in London after a train he was on was taken over by a post-match crowd. In true 'gonzo' style, he spent eight years attending matches, befriending supporters and firm members, witnessing riots and taking the odd beating from police. It's a fascinating read that's as funny as it is shocking, and Buford's neutral outsider approach gives him a truly unique perspective as he tries to understand what makes this subculture tick.
