Hooligan Firms -- Have We Ever Had One?

I am really keen to know if Liverpool ever had a firm.

As we all know, hooliganism was a part of football culture once upon a time and it still is. But were there any famous LFC firms, i know that it is not the LFC way to cause trouble and fight etc etc, but have we ever had a fearsome firm, like Milwall, West Ham etc and what where their/are their names?

Anybody know?

The Irregulars are just a group of fans who have representation at every match we play. I was speaking to one of them in Nice in 2004 the day before we played Monaco and he told me the name came from the fact that they came from different places in Merseyside.

but have we ever had a fearsome firm, like Milwall, West Ham etc and what where their/are their names?

I'm surprised (but glad) Cardiff weren't mentioned there!!

I didn't know Liverpool had one though!! Interesting..

Oh right.

Yer as i said , I often see thier flag at away games and thought they might be a firm. Thanks for the info.

You might want to read ' The Boys From The Mersey '

It's a true account from a group of fans in the 70's & 80's

Quote
The Road End united infamous mobs like the Breck Road Firm and the Huyton Baddies into a motley assortment of jibbers, blaggers and bruisers to whom ever 'no entry' sign was a challenge and every price tag a joke.

The book is wriiten by Nicholas Allt and was published in 2004.

It's next on my 'to read' pile.

Oh yer , ive read that. Got it from HMV a while ago.

Thats just reminded me really , Liverpool never really had proper 'firms' just groups of mates who would go all over Europe on the rob , bunking trains and basically havina laugh !

My dad often tells us of stories of him an his mates bunking half way round europe to get to the match , robbing a load of adidas from Germany and sellin em once they got back in school.

......god i wish it was like that now , sounds amazing.


Its a good read anyway tommo , reminiscint of the good old days when liverpool were the best team in europe and didnt have a care in the world !

What legends, this group have my utmost respect, class!

Do you mean the Urchins? If that link is right and it was them who made fun of the Munich accident, then they're no worse than the tw*ts who sing Hillsborough chants and Heysel songs. It's not funny and its not clever when you sing about something where people died. Disgraceful....

Interesting way of trying to link to The Sun newspaper.  Do it again and it will most probably be your last post.

And then you complain about the OOTers issue?
