From Word of Sport:

King & Knight, authors of 'Hoolifan', continue their story of life with the notorious Chelsea mobs and find that although football hooligans are now in the minority, their experience and dedication are far greater than before. The authors' accounts are as authentic and observant as ever.

From the Publisher:

Football has reinvented itself. As television money has poured into the game, the traditional working-class fans have poured out - not by choice, but by economic necessity. According to those in charge of the game the football hooligan has at last been eliminated from the landscape. But how true is this much-vaunted claim?

Martin King, author of Hoolifan, brings his story up to date in The Naughty Nineties. Ironically, he finds that football hooligans now really are in the minority but they are far more dangerous and committed than ever before.
