Nowhere tougher to survive, mate. Apart from The Heatons, possibly. It’s too close to call.The streets of Birmingham, maybe.

I used to have the Guvnors book by Mickey Francis and I am pretty sure that one of the chapters was named The Cool Cats. Needs checking though by someone who has the book,as I binned my copy when we moved house 5 years ago.
One of the earliest stories that MF relates is a mob of Spurs being in the Kippax early doors sometime in 1975,and I definitely remember steaming into them to get the Cockney twats out of The Kippax before the game started. So Spurs did take a mostly empty Kippax for about 10/15 minutes.

Mickey and Donald Francis were leaders of organized firms who went looking for fights with other organized firms of hooligans.I wish we had this amount of passion about us these days. Not going looking for it but just fighting for the name of our club. We could learn a lot from some of these guys
I used to go to City away games with a few other lads who didn't really go looking for trouble,but it usually found you and it was always handy to be able to look after yourself.
And have a few handy City mates with you (like Sid C on here).
Mean streets these mate, as you well know. We’ve only got two delicatessens in Heaton Moor these days.Nowhere tougher to survive, mate. Apart from The Heatons, possibly. It’s too close to call.

Yeh well I get Birthday cards and Christmas cards from three of the original lads, they asked me not to name them so I wont and they always sign them Kool Kats.
is that the original line up of Bros??
Yes, it’s still going. Changed a bit now though. All luxury sofas and all that. You can take booze in now though, which is obviously a plus. I get a few disapproving looks at the Saturday matinees, mind you.I watched doctor who on my twelfth birthday at the savoy cinema 32 years ago. Is it still going?

Nah that was the Cool Cats, I remember they were stood on the Kippax singing 'When Will I be Famous'
Us Kool Kats simply responded by saying never.
