33 years football banning orders

Chris never intended the book to be marketed as a book on football violence or call it Bovver, that was the decision of the publishers. He intended it to be about the fashion and music of the day and obviously included the violence associated with being a football fan back in the 70's. Like him I recall going to a concert in the Colston Hall back in the 70's only to be confronted by the clientele of The Wheatsheaf on the centre when we left. The mass brawl that ensued included them using bicycle chains and bottles. Just for the record they bit off more than they could chew and they also learned that if you carry weapons your run the risk of having them used on you.
