Recensione
"The definitive guide to hooligan culture" (joe.co.uk)
"Buford's reportage is vivid and racy, dropping you in the thick of the madness with a Wolfe-like immediacy" (Daily Telegraph)
"The excellence of his writing takes the reader to the centre of the mob... His words have the fragmented accuracy of a hand-held television camera in a war zone" (John Stalker Sunday Times)
"Possesses something of the quality of A Clockwork Orange" (The Times)
"This is an absorbing read, and another winner from Buford, who writes so very, very well" (Buzzfeed)
"Sizzling writing to rival the best of white-heat gonzo journalism" (New Statesman)
"An extraordinary and powerful cautionary cry." (Kirkus)
"Brilliant. . . one of the most unnerving books you will ever read" (Newsweek)
"Buford creates with the majesty of a Tom Wolfe the ultimate price paid by so many for this footballing fever - the Hillsborough disaster, recalled with electrifying eloquence and power" (Time Out)
"[Buford] gtecrashes a social world that most of us have spent some portion of our lives avoiding and brings it to life on the page with a ferocious relish that only someone who was a foreigner to football could manage, or stomach" (Jonathan Raban)
