Andy Blance is the most dedicated football hooligan Scotland has ever produced. One of the original members of the Hibs Capital City Service he has been at the heart of every CCS encounter, apart from those he missed while in prison. Yet Blance is something of an enigma: to the police he is a serious criminal, to those who know him he is a loyal friend, to fellow Hibbys he is a dedicated supporter who never misses a game. This is a dark, violent and uncompromising book but it is also a moving one. It is a book that everyone with an interest in football and the casual culture will want to read. Above all it is an honest book, stripped of artifice and exaggeration. It is the truth.
