Description

This week, Graham and Taylor avoid fisticuffs to instead talk out the history of hooligans (and hooliganism) in football! We answer a variety of questions on the topic, including...
1) What does the word "hooligan" mean, and from where does it originate?
2) When were the peak years for hooliganism in football?
3) What are the most famous examples of hooligan activity in history?
4) How are hooligans and hooligan groups portrayed in media?
5) How big of a problem does it remain today?
