Great book and great service.
I am highly pleased with this book. The book came in great clean condition. I wish I would have kept track of the time it took to receive it, because it felt like it should have been longer than I was hoping but feel it may of been my excitement and the fact that this was coming from the UK so would have more of a delay to it.The book itself is awesome. It doesn't go much into the actual team of Millwall, but has tons of great short stories of some loyal Millwall fans and their introductions to Millwall and some instances they faced with other football team supporters. I enjoyed learning some of the things that has happened in the supporter history of Millwall, and how Millwalls hooligan legends came to be.

Great Read. One of the best in this Genre
Lots of stories told with humour which made for a good read on hooligans. But, as always a 'but', like a lot of other books written by English hooligan firms they never seem to lose a fight, but, another 'but', in this case the author does admit to getting 'done over' at Everton, with seven Millwall fans getting stabbed by the Scousers at Goodison Park. So if you are happy to believe that over a period of 40 years they were only ever beaten at Everton then that beating must have been mighty cause they never lost another fight, they were never caught out numbered, never ran, never backed off, if you believe this then this book is one of the best hooligan books out there, by far, Highly recommended. Note: If you want to survive a soccer game in England I think it's Everton that should be avoided not Millwall.

Fast read
Obviously written with a lot of passion. Great sarcasm, too. Being a "Yank", I wanted to get the feel for the obsession and fanaticism for the sport. Although far from being there during a pitch "over run" it gave me a picture to think about. Good read.

good hooligan book
Bought this for my husband who likes book about the culture of this time and the hooligan lifestyle. This book did not fail, he likes it as much as the Cass Pennant books he has read.

Can't Get Basic facts Right
Millwall fighting ICF at Harry Cripps' Testimonial in 1972? There was no ICF in 1972; try Mile End mob. I won't even comment of the fight description, suffice to say this put me right off. What else is bullshit and hearsay in this book?

Could not put it down
Wow. What a great book funny and well written the chapter on the trip to Hungary was brilliant. I have read most of the football hooligan books and this one is by far the best. all in all a great read.

Justified what was paid!
I am satisfied with the book. One of those that makes you read it in one sitting. Of course, because the guys from South East London took care of it.

Klasse Buch - mit Abstrichen
Das vorliegende Buch beinhaltet eine Vielzahl persönlicher Berichte der wohl bekanntesten Hooligans der Welt - des FC Millwall. Diese Eindrücke aus erster Hand sind, schonungslos, offen, authentisch und teilweise auch schockierend. Es werden die Kämpfe mit den wichtigsten Rivalen und "Firmen" in England geschildert. Dieser Teil ist für jeden der sich für die Thematik "begeistert" hochinteressant. Mit zunehmender Dauer wird immer mehr auch zu den staatlichen Gegenmaßnahmen und deren Wirksamkeit Stellung genommen. Hierbei ist in der Tat fragwürdig inwieweit personalisierte Tickets, Stadionverbote und immer mehr Videoüberwachung Ausschreitungen verhindern können.Jedoch werden vor allem gegen Ende des Buches Positionen bezogen, die teils paranoid, verschwörungstheoretisch und auch abenteuerlich anmuten. So zum Beispiel der Vorschlag, Hooligan-Kämpfe in eigens dafür errichteten Arenen zu legalisieren und kommerziell zu nutzen, damit das Gewaltproblem einer Gesellschaft komplett beseitigt werden kann.Insgesamt ist es ein unglaublich interessantes Buch, weil die "wirklichen Akteure" zu Wort kommen und ihre Motive schildern und somit nichts durch eine Interpretation von Journalisten etc verändert werden kann, aber durch die teils absurden Ausfürhungen zum Ende sind meiner Meinung nach "nur" vier Sterne gerechtfertigt.

The Lions from Millwall
Meet the UK's most notorious football hooligans. Author Andrew Woods has come face-to-face with Millwall's most famous firm and now, for the first time, the Bushwackers reveal all about their bloodiest battles and fiercest rivalries - in their own words. But among the camaraderie, the battles of wits with the police and the exhilarating toe-to-toe run-ins with the opposition, this book also examines the history of hooliganism and why measures brought in to combat violence have failed. With stories from the 1960s to the present day - including the infamous Luton riot of 1985, the 'Mad Season' of 2001/02 and the ongoing war with West Ham's ICF - No-one Likes Us, We Don't Care is the ultimate collection of tales from the terraces.
