Football Hooligans (1972)

[@FCDHVleerstraat]

When football was football, I am Dutch but I totally admire those images... I love the English for how they experience football and for what they brought to us here as far as stadium culture is concerned... chants.. being involved... fanatism... supporting your team especially when you go behind...

[@lyndoncmp5751]

It was the Liverpool Kop that taught the rest of England how to sing and support first. They all tried to emulate the Kop.☺️

3:03 I bet his parents are proud. It's not everyday you sit down to watch a game and see your lovely child getting arrested. And that poor kid having to be stretchered out of the stands, or whatever they called the cement steps you had to stand on before they switched to all seats in the stadiums

[@mkaykaykayy]

The terraces is what you mean

[@loganstroganoff1284]

I was there and got punched so hard I woke up with a googoo cluster in my trousers

[@alanb.87]

In other words, ready to nick anyone in the vicinity if the real culprit slipped away to a different part of the terraces, as most areas were accessible at WHL.

[@chrisBrown-bg4yw]

Think is more like 74? interesting to see how young most fans are and how weak the segregation is compared today..police not stewards and loving the silk scarves!

[@edgarbodiao4589]

Football for fans,young people, affordable to everyone, chip tickets.

[@TheEctomorph]

I am getting on in years now (in fact, I recently turned 50), and so I am old enough to remember that in 1972, organized football hooliganism was already beginning to become a major issue in this country - although, of course, in those (pre-PC) days, the term "issue/s" was not used. Or, to be more accurate, it wasn't used in the same way that it is today. That is to say, it was not used as a synonym for "problems".

[@ashleygent1080]

Coppers were just as bad back them

[@joysboy6588]

Coppers back then were way worse than what they are today. Serious food for thought - if mobile phones were around when Hillsborough happened, the Police could NEVER had told the LIES that they did.
