The Football Factory

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

I've just started reading the football factory trilogy, and I'm getting well into it. For anyone who doesn't know the book is written from a Chelsea thug's point of view, and how he goes through life, day to day. The chapter where they try to come into Newcastle via Sunderland is interesting. One of my favourite lines has got to be...

"I don't mind the Geordies. They are all fat bastards, but at least they have a good go." or something like that.

Has anyone else on here read this or any of the other two books in the trilogy (Headhunters and England Away)?

Sensationalist badly written rubbish, couldn't finish it, do yourself a favour and buy something by Tom Wolfe, John Irving or Iain Banks.
