Leeds had the opportunity to get promoted back into the top flight so it was a massive turnout as 10,000 fans descended on the South Coast.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

This then caused scores of Leeds fans to begin ripping up the seats within the stadium and throw them onto the pitch and at fans within the ground, this then caused the fans to clash with the French Police as they then continued to invade the pitch. There in the middle of the argy-bargy, sat on a bench, was Kenny and partner in yet another passionate embrace, with his poor son looking thoroughly bored.

Leeds are still up there as one of the better mobs in the country, it will be a bit dodgy up there if what i'm hearing is right, especially if their old lads are out for it.Brighton, a place for a weekend of sun and sea and, of course, homosexuals – so never any trouble in the Eighties! As standard all our t shirts are direct to garment printed and only vegan friendly inks and eco friendly packaging used.

The fighting between Birmingham City and Leeds United fans was described by Justice Popplewell as more like "the Battle of Agincourt than a football match". Journalist Caroline Gall spent two years interviewing participants from several generations to piece together the first ever history of the gangs, from the Shipley Skins to the youths of the present day. Same as Chelsea and Leeds to an extent - numbers game often wins the day when you swamp places and are accustomed to bully ups. In that regard, the book is more serious and believable and doesn't glamorise the violence and behaviour of the hooligans in the way that some of the other autobiographical books can. There was nothing new about this concept, my mates and I did it in 68/69 for the same reasons, the only difference was in 1980, there were thousands at it, so of course, the media get hold of it, a story is born, myths perpetuate, and then you have a cult with a cult following.

But in contrast, it also mentions Leeds United hooligans attacking a busload of school children abroad because one is wearing a Manchester United shirt under their uniform.

Victory in the game would give them the Second Division title and promotion back to the top flight after eight years away.Improvements to security in Elland Road as with all grounds in England have led to confrontations more usually taking place away from stadiums.
