1 comments about Top Boys: True Stories of Football's Hardest Men.
- The thing that bothers me about this book is that Cass Pennant, as the author, doesn't really write anything. You've got a two page intro, a bunch of interviews with leaders of 15 to 20 soccer/football firms, and a weak, weak conclusion. The questions that he asks each leader change very little, so it becomes a little repetitious (5 top firms now, top firms of all time, weapons used, activity today, etc). I did like hearing from leaders of some of the smaller clubs in England. Any club, no matter how small, could pull a formidable firm in the 70s and 80s.
If you want a bunch of accounts of "We ran them, they ran us, we took their end, etc", then this book is for you. If you want an actual written, thought-out narrative --i.e. Among the Thugs, Bovver, Scally -- then this isn't what you're looking for. I guess I should have known, as the title says, "True STORIES of Football's Hardest Men." Oh well, my fault.

1 comments about Martin O'Neill.
- If you like biographies of footballers or managers this one's a must. A fascinating look at a very private and incredibly successful man, both as a player with Nottingham Forest under the enigmatic Clough where he won 2 European Cups and as a manager with non-league clubs where he cut his teeth and then with Leicester City and Celtic. The book was written before O'Neill left Celtic so is not current. What's not inc.is much information on his private life. The book was written without O'Neill's permission so does not inc. accounts from current friends or family. As a Forest fan from that era I would've liked more Forest/Clough information as well.But for all that it is very well written & a great read.
