Soul
Crew
by Dave Jones, Tony Rivers
Synopsis The Inside Story of Britain's Most Violent Hooligan Gang;
The Cardiff Soul Crew are recognised by police intelligence officers as
the most violent football hooligan gang currently active in Britain. Their
400-plus members have been involved in mass disorder at matches for more
than twenty-five years. Yet they have largely escaped the notoriety of
their English counterparts - until now. Two men closely involved with the
gang tell its history from its origins through to the present day: their
leaders, their fashions, how they organise and who they fight. Soul Crew
relates how an infamous clash with Manchester United's Red Army in the
mid-Seventies was the impetus for the formation of the mob. A core group
of hardcases from the tough Docks area of Cardiff was joined by alienated,
unemployed youths from the valleys and former pit villages of South Wales.
They took their name from their love of soul music and adopted the 'casual'
fashion of designer-label clothes. In time they would fight fierce battles
with rivals like the Frontline Crew, the Bushwhackers, the Gooners and
the Central Element Soul Crew also reveals for the first time the network
of alliances and communications between the leading hooligans around the
country: the so-called "Category C" thugs who organise much of the violence.
And it tells of their cat-and-mouse relationship with the police spotters
who now follow them everywhere From the publishers of the best-selling
Guvnors and Blades Business Crew, Soul Crew is the best evocation yet of
life running with a soccer mob.
