Funny that you joke about if England and Germany played football against each other there wouldn't have been World Wars. "Late on Christmas Eve 1914, men of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) heard German troops in the trenches opposite them singing carols and patriotic songs and saw lanterns and small fir trees along their trenches. Messages began to be shouted between the trenches. The following day, British and German soldiers met in no man's land and exchanged gifts, took photographs and some played impromptu games of football. They also buried casualties and repaired trenches and dugouts. After Boxing Day, meetings in no man's land dwindled out."

Also it was 'frowned upon' by many officers and the high commands of both sides basically gave orders to stop it happening again (though it did on a small scale) as it could 'undermine the fighting spirit'. Maybe that 'undermining' might have been a better kind than the one practiced by sappers during the war, and helped end it sooner with less loss of life!

Now, I have always loathed Margaret Thatcher and everything she stood for. She deliberately got 'respectable' people to demonise football fans. I remember that football fans were treated like scum; a result of this was putting fences between the fans and the pitch, which caused the awful squash. And then, with the encouragement of the Government, they blamed the fans for Hillsborough, saying they caused it because they were drunk! It took nearly 30 years for the truth to come out.

That was not the only incident were the measures put in place to combat hooliganism caused a worse result. By the time of the Bradford City fire it had become typical practice at football matches to lock the turnstiles shortly after kick-off until well into the second half (last 20 mins or so...or later**). Most of the deaths at Bradford were around the turnstiles...people burnt to death because they could not get out to escape the fire. **It was also quite common, if it was thought a game might get a bit spicy, where one set of supporters, often home supporters, would be retained in the ground for a few minutes whilst the away supporters were quickly marshalled by police and ground staff on to coaches and whisked away from the ground. (or vice versa - away support kept in until the majority of the home crowd had dispersed...I presume it was so it was easier to police the stragglers hanging about looking to start trouble) It's both ironic and tragic that methods put in place to combat the hooliganism caused many more deaths than the hooligans ever did.

As a child in the 1960s I very occasionally went to a football match. In those days the best place to be was on the terraces. These were tiered areas where people stood. There was, usually a waist high metal bar at the edge of each terrace that you could lean on. Often children would be lifted onto these so they could see the game. There was a lot more atmosphere on the terraces and usually a good sense of community there. Anybody misbehaving was soon stopped or thrown out by the other fans. This all changed with the rise of organised groups of hooligans.

The police hated to be rostered to be doing a shift at the football on a Saturday afternoon. Things are much better today, and it's common for people to take young families to the game, as it's usually pretty safe.

For context danny said that he was worried about "going in the boozer and we're gunna get ironed out, you know what i mean?" Basically he was worried about going in the boozer (the pub) and getting ironed out (flattened/knocked out) but he said he wasnt worried about the guy he was talking to because he seemed alright, but he was worried about getting glassed by someone else! Hope that helps! Cockney accent is a difficult one, i had to listen to it again and im from the south east of England!

The first football was a human head. Following the be heading of someone. Monarchy punishment like that. And the crowd was encouraged to support the execution.

Yes that was David Icke. He was a sports presenter on the BBC before he became the world's most famous conspiracy theorist.

Football hooligan's ended in 1989 with the advent of acid house, and by 93 the premier league killed off the lame hangers on. We used it to basically steal in the eighties across England and Europe....

If you want to see what the origonal game of 'football' was like check out the Atherstone Ball game 2023, which shows the violent nature of the game, it was first played in 1199, there have been deaths in this game but generally broken limbs, eye gouging etc etc, it's a real eyeopener ;)

I remember as a kid in the Blackburn end at Rovers when Bolton stormed it. Crapped my pants but I was only a little kid, maybe 10, so was left alone with my mates to cower in a corner amidst the ensuing carnage. Happy memories

When I was following Man Utd through the 70’s and 80’s,the fighting was epic,everywhere we went. Just straighteners,weapons were relatively rare so we just got stuck into each other. It was the times and our natural trait of being a fighting nation. Island race you see.

The problem here is the story is incomplete, it misses the prejudicial policing at Hillsborough in 1989 and the Thatcher governments efforts to pre-empt trouble at Italia 1990. Also the rise of the Premier League and it's Corporate relationships made a huge difference to the affordability of attending matches quickly taking ticket prices from the equivalent of an hours work to that of about 3 or 4 hours. Britain has largely removed most of it's hooligan factions but this has transferred into the Political arena with groups such as Britain First and the Football Lads Alliance which have been seen to align with US political actors such as Steve Bannon.

This got to a point that European countries police forces started working together. They had undercover police within the hooligans to identify the fire starters and many times, and most times they were arrested even before boarding the plane to, Portugal let’s say, or at the least they were identified and arrested as soon as they arrived in the country of destination. That also made the police riot officers to be turned into specialised units within the police, instead of just regular police with riot gear. And new functions also came up like the police spotters. Some stadiums even had pits around the stadium creating one more barrier between fans and pitch. They were crazy times. This still happens everywhere but in a smaller scale.

All seater stadiums certainly helped , but also harsher penalties, and banning from stadia, certainly got rid of the problem, thank God.

We can only be grateful that the majority of British people don't also own guns. Sadly, we Brits have been some of the most aggressive people in the world, and sometimes we still are. Our innumerable wars and empire-building channeled this aggression throughout most of our history. But we have had peace, mostly, since 1945. Football hooliganism on a huge scale was the result. 😕🇬🇧😕

Interesting fact and I’m not sure if this is still true but in some parts of England we are still technically required to practice archery every Sunday after church. This law is clearly not enforced
