A review into the disorder at the Euro 2020 final , found “ticketless, drunken and drugged-up thugs” stormed the stadium.
I remember as a kid watching the F Troop Millwall documentary on BBC Panorama and thinking the surgical masks worn at a game were just mad, but pure theatre. As the social violence of the seventies evolved into the football hooliganism of the eighties, which the media revelled in, the Thatcherite Tory party had their target. Working class lads from council estates who had morphed from seventies boot boys to casuals.
Well, the eighties were my teenage years, but by the time we reached the nineties we were well and truly in the rave scene and well into our twenties. The era of House music was with us and the disco biscuits arrived. Seats in the Milburn stand. Walking up to the game on a Wednesday night one lad has pushed a “cheeky half” in another lad’s mouth and by half time he is dancing to the chanting of the crowd, and he can’t remember what game he is at, never mind the score.
