The UK may have been the breeding ground for football violence through the 70's and 80's with firms like Manchester United's Red Army, West Ham's Inter City Firm (ICF), Millwall's Bushwackers and Chelsea's Headhunters but the European's and South American's have taken the violence to new levels. Weapons such as knives, bats and even firearms have created a new culture of football hooliganism. Since the redevelopment of football grounds, CCTV and higher levels of policing at football matches in the UK, the number of arrests have fallen and most games pass without incident. What was known as the British disease is nothing more than a distant memory. But football hooliganism is alive and well in many countries especially in places of high unemployment.

This site is an ongoing project. When completed, this site will feature in-depth information about all the major football rivalries around the world. The site will feature football firms from England, Scotland, Italy, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Balkans, Scotland, Brazil, Argentina, Holland and much more.

Keep checking back as this site develops through 2009!
