[cite]Posted By: Goonerhater[/cite]Most of those books are so naff its not true. One "written" by a Chelsea face wasnt actually written by him at all.
Some are no more than a series of peoples collective memories.The book DA9 mentions is a first class example a few people asked to comment and someone puts it in print.
However if you are intrested in football/youth culture etc etc then you cant deny that the hooligan was apiece of yooth culture for a few decades. Clothes and style also played a huge part not just people geting a clump.
A great many of yesterdays hoolies still go as do their kids and their kids in some cases.

Would that have been Frain?
I've met Frain on a couple of occassions, putting sentences together would not be a strong point for him!

Good question
DA9 update please
Nothing doing at the moment, and in all honesty, at the moment, I dont have the motivation that I once had over it, not that I was ever an original member/founder or main player in B-mob anyway, just someone who has been around, worn the t-shirt and doesn't (hopefully) talk shi te.
[cite]Posted By: Addickted[/cite]I reckon Soundas formed A Mob back in the 60's.
Errr well yeah............ I/we did as a matter of fact.....though not as organised as it all later became....it was far more spontaneous, reacting to incidents that happend inside the ground(90% in The Covered End), as opposed to organised tear-up's and named groups/mobs that came a decade or two later.
what ever happened to Kevin the skinhead? remember him jumping off the underground to have a go at Chelsea only to be met by old bill everywhere who grabbed him lol.

Yes I have seen a few faces but not him. The streaker a few years back who confronted (can't remember who we were playing) the away goalkeeper was a face, what on earth made him do that ffs?
lol classic! best memory of B mob for me was QPR away, we got there really early and took their pub and by two o clock we had a big mob of QPR very p'ed off outside as old bill wouldn't let them in and then as we left to go to the game we ran them everywhere lol. Think it was that game that Kevin got nicked on way home as I mentioned earlier.
What that be the QPR game when the green smoke bomb went of at White City when we ran them back up the stairs?? They didn't know what the he'll was going on.....LOL
No that was Chelsea at White City, after we had played at QPR the season after we sent them to the play offs and the battle of Stamford Bridge, basically they were looking for revenge, and they used CS Gas as well on the platform.
I dont know where the years have gone terry but i can tell you all for nowt tavern would not be allowed out after football if he still acted so stupid! Good night. X

The numbers swelled to about 30-40 with terrace fashion coming about at the time .
All good blokes and great times were had following Charlton.
