Among the thugs

In 'Among the Thugs', Bill Buford delves into the culture of soccer hooliganism in England.

The book follows Buford's journey as he embeds himself with a group of hooligans, known as 'the lads', to understand the motivations and behaviors behind their violent and often chaotic actions.

The narrative takes readers from the pubs of London to the stadiums of northern England and the streets of Europe, offering a deep and sometimes disturbing look into this subculture.
