Summary

Meet the UK's most notorious football hooligans. Author Andrew Woods has come face-to-face with Millwall's most famous firm and now, for the first time, the Bushwackers reveal all about their bloodiest battles and fiercest rivalries - in their own words. But among the camaraderie, the battle of wits with the police and the exhilarating toe-to-toe run ins with the opposition, this book also examines the history of hooliganism and why measures brought in to combat violence have failed. Packed with hilarious characters, shocking tales and plenty of excitement, no stone is left unturned in this journey into the dark side of football. With stories from the 1960s to the present day - including the infamous Luton riot of 1985, the ‘Mad Season' of 2001/02 and the ongoing war with West Ham's ICF - No-one Likes Us, We Don't Careis the ultimate collection of tales from the terraces.
