Bovver, Paperback / softback Book

Bovver Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

It's the 1970s. The hair is shaved, the music is funky and the football is violent - very, very violent.

Every Saturday, legions of football fans take to the terraces to do battle with each other.

Chris Brown was in the thick of it. The regulation haircut, clip-on braces, shrunk Levis and bovver boots - he had the look that every self-respecting bovver boy tried for, and he launched himself into the culture of the decade with a passion.

This is a story of those times. It is a story of the adrenaline-packed Saturday outings, a story of Tonik suits, terraces and The Maytals, of race riots, safety pins and The Clash by way of P.Funk, platform shoes and discos.

A true story of the most maligned decade in British history - the music, the fashion, the violence.

Welcome to the real 1970s - it ain't no boogie wonderland.
