Wiki says that this is/was the name of the City firm. I was just interested into why they are called this as it seems quite a cockney name to have IMO. Is this firm still going? Was our firm particularly bad or infamous? cheers.

Yeah , it's been done many times.

The firm got busted by undercover police and so doesn't exist anymore ...... it probably numbered about 300 , on a good day ....... but there were far bigger 'firms' about back in those days , and a lot of clubs had 'unwanted' hooligan groups of one kind or another attached to them.

Other city groups included the young guv'nors , Mayne Line crew , and cool cats.

The book is on sale at Waterstones , or on Amazon ...... not sure how much of it can actually be believed mind!

Yes, when I've flicked through the book in the shops some of the incidents seem to be a fair bit exaggerated to what I can recall from being at the actual games.
 
I was kicked out of the Guv'nors for being to hard.

Example: Whilst at work I noticed this scum fan sat with his scum friends, I was feeling a bit nawty and thought here I go. I grabbed the fucker by the throat and threw him to the floor, Come on you rag tw*t I shouted all of you you fucking SCUM!! The smell of incontinence could be smelt.

I was later sacked by the head matron of Barton retirement home. BASTIDS!!!!

You still see a few of the 'faces' at away games, I was sat/stood near one or two at Pompey earlier in the season. I don't know how much of the book is factual but they still scare me!
