From the Publisher:
In-depth history of the hostility between fans of Sheffields two football teams. In the 60s, fans from both teams used to go to Hillsborough one week and Bramwell Lane the following week. But it all changed in the 70s, as mass brawls started regularly erupting on the terraces. In the late 80s, the football casuals took over from the 70s boot boys. Today, tit for tat reprisals are common occurrences in a continuing feud that has split families and friendships.

It's A Fact!
"There have only been three Cockers who have topped the UK singles chart. Jarvis and Joe from Sheffield, obviously, and Leeds United's erstwhile trainer, Les, with the 1970 World Cup song Back Home."
