Description
Cockney Reds is a candid account of a period in football history that will never be repeated. In the early 1970s, a group of young fans from the South followed Manchester United, and their leader, Robert 'Banana Bob' Cleur, emerged as their figurehead.
Working on building sites to fund his lifestyle, Cleur was backed by a formidable army of fighters who shared his passion for football and his love of chaos. This book tells the story of the camaraderie and mayhem of a hooligan gang based on enemy turf.
A fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, Cockney Reds offers a unique insight into the world of 1970s football hooliganism.
