From Word of Sport:
Third time to the well for Cass Pennant and his earthy anecdotes on West Ham's firms. His first two efforts concentrated on the notorious ICF but this time we visit the early 1970's and their forerunners - Micky Smith's Mile End Mob. Shockingly familiar, you're either appalled or enthralled.
From the Publisher:
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Mile End Mob ruled Upton Park. Long before the days of the casual, ruthlessly-organised ICF, they were the guv'nors of the terraces, striking fear into the other West Ham mobs and fans. Indeed it was the reputation and respect commanded by the Mile End Mob that drove the ICF to establish their rule over the terraces in the 1980s. Bestselling author Cass Pennant and West Ham face Micky Smith tell a true story of youth, fashion, football, violence and terrace battles, the story of West Ham's first Guv'nors.

It's A Fact!
"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
