some soccer hooligans for you...

Almost every English and Scottish football club has what is known in hooligan circles as a 'firm'. This is a name which links many like minded thugs behind one banner. The word 'firm' brings together these groups almost as organised businesses. Confrontations are often organised by the leaders telephoning each other to arrange 'meets'.
