1 comments about Apex to Zulu.
- Having read a few reviews on the UK amazon site I was a little apprehensive about buying this book. The book however, is not too bad at all.
Mostly covers the same territory of the book "Black White and Blue" on the history of the Birmingham Zulus but due to the fact that this book was written from a former lad from the firm it is a more personal account.
Going back to the history of the Birmingham Zulus, how they formed and some of the major rivalries they had over the years and some of the major fights that they had the book also covers a many things common to all growing up, music, girls, football, going out with mates and generally having a laugh.
The book includes a few interviews most notably with 'Black Danny' from the Villa C-Crew. Critics of the book may point to it being not the most well written book you are ever likely to read and it does sort of drift away in pointless directions at times (The endless references to clothing brand names, something popular in most 'hoolifan' books is not only becoming tiresome but frankly a pile of bull. Nobody looked at lads from firms for fashion, most people thought they dressed like tramps) Other downsides are his 'history of brand names' I mean really, who cares?
First and foremost this is a book that covers the history of working class lads, black and white from Birmingham. Growing up in the 70s 80s then through to the 90s, their love for Birmingham F.C., the fights they got into, the music they loved and last but by no means least the Birmingham Zulus.
To anyone who doesn't know they were one of the most notorious and respected hooligan firms in the UK. What made them different is that they had a large number of black lads amongst them. This book covers their history from beginning to (near) present day.
A good read for anyone interested in working class culture during the 80s and 90s in the UK. Ignore some of the type errors and some of the pointless ramblings and remember, this book was written by a lad who was there so don't expect War and Peace.
