Sherlock Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Anyone of a certain vintage will remember this documentary. Timers of top-loading VHS machines all over the country were programmed to record it. It's worth watching for the haircuts (perms, wedges & mullets) and the clothes (Benetton, ski jumpers & tight jeans) alone. The full 51 minute film is below.... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1997606021322612799&hl=en Caveat: This isn't intended as a 'hooliganism is great' thread. I got sent the link and thought other posters of a similar age would enjoy it. Quote
Boris Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 LOL Hooligan. Up at Man Utd - "Call yourself West Ham?" The clip of a goal going in and all you see is a pair of crutches being wave aloft is genius! (Chelsea 22mins 50secs in) Quote

Boris Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Admit it Boris, you had a back perm in the mid 80's, didn't you? Hehehe My hair is naturally "wavy", so when growing it long at the back for the "Charlie Nick"* look it all came quite easily...Not a Waddle cut though. Then in 86 I had the proverbial kicked out of me and my lovely Reebok runners stolen from my feet by **** so I thought that whole fashion was more trouble than it was worth. Cue flat top haircut and embracement of The Smiths etc You seem to know an awful lot about those times though...hmmm....sounds like you may have had one too! *who in there right mind would now wish to go for the "Charlie Nick" look????

At the time, the Charlie Nick was the mutt's nut's but even back in those days, i was never patient enough to grow my hair. I settled for the classic wedge. Do the stars (****) above indicate hibs, gers, tic's or just general s cum? Quote

General low life - ironically I think they were Hearts "boys" at the time, all about 18 when I was 15. Quote

That's not so good Boris, but it was perhaps your own fault for not having the classic emblem badge pinned to the bottom of your collar. Quote
Nelly Terraces Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I've had the, ahem, 'pleasure' of meeting some of the blokes in that documentary c/o the ex, who is a big West Ham fan. Anyone whose drank in the Prince of Wales boozer round the back of Upton Park tube station will know what I mean. Used to be lots of ex ICF boys in there, Bill Gardiner etc. Actually, most of them are sound, Bill espesh who thinks it was all taken too seriously and prefered to talk about the laughs they used to have, not the trouble. I still have this on vid and the quality is well ropey, so good to see it here. Must look out my paisley pattern shirt and Lois flares to wear whilst watching! NT - yes, I did have my barnet slighty longer at the back. Errr, didn't everyone!? Quote
Boris Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 That's not so good Boris, but it was perhaps your own fault for not having the classic emblem badge pinned to the bottom of your collar. I had my "Road to Hampden" tee shirt on underneath and I may well have had a Hearts lapel badge on too!! Legend - the Hanging Judge. "He was asking for it..." Quote

"He was asking for it..." If your assailant was wearing a paisley pattern shirt and Lois flares, with hair slightly longer at the back, then i think i may know who it was. NT, can you account for your whereabouts when Boris and his runners parted company? Quote
K1874M Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Got to 15 mins and it froze.... downloading it now. Quote
Sherlock Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 Got to 15 mins and it froze.... downloading it now. The same thing happened a couple of times with me Kenny, i just nudged the wee tracker forward to get it moving again and then pulled it back to where i was. Quote
K1874M Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Baws... downloaded it and its still sticking at 13mins... aarrghh. Quote
Ray Winstone Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Baws... downloaded it and its still sticking at 13mins... aarrghh. You just have to coax it on slightly - move the bar below the film along and it should buffer out - I had trouble with it as well. Was only born in 88 but it makes me laugh to think people dressed like that and had hair like that back then! Some of the 'top boys' seem thick as ****! Quote

Adi Dassler Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 There was a Millwall one filmed in the late 70's i think, and it's even funnier than this. "And if any Northern ponce wants to have a go at me, i'll stick a glass in his face". Or words to that effect. From memory i think Carlton Leach (Rise of The Footsoldier) is in that West Ham one.

Terrible Trio Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 "And if any Northern ponce wants to have a go at me, i'll stick a glass in his face". bloke should have gone to specsavers was he not billy the wolf or something like that - must have been related in someway to harry the dog Quote
Era Macaroons Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I had to go to games wi Boris in the 80's like this....he just wouldnt listen. Quote

Lind Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Hey guys, I was wondering if you still have the documentary? I'm writting a paper about hooliganism in England. This documentary would be a huge help. Thank you in advance Quote

Jamhammer Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I got caught up in a West Ham fight with West Brom in 1980. 16 years old. It was f’n terrifying. It’s one thing running about chasing folk quite another some lunatic smacking folk with two hammers Quote
