Description
The Football Factory centres on Tom Johnson, a reasoned ‘Chelsea hooligan’ who represents a disaffected society operating by brutal rules. We are shown the realities of life – social degradation, unemployment, racism, casual violence, excessive drink and bad sex – and, perhaps more importantly, how they fall into a political context of surveillance, media manipulation and division. Graphic and disturbing, sometimes very funny, and deeply affecting throughout, The Football Factory is a vertiginous rush of adrenaline – the most authentic book yet on the so-called English Disease.

| Other text | Fever Pitch with testosterone and eight pints of lager. Like Fever Pitch, it is not exclusively a novel about football. This is a chronicle of a lost tribe – the white, Anglo-Saxon, heterosexual who is fed up with being told he is crap. |
