Rebellion:
The Growth of Football's Protest Movement, by Dougie Brimson (2006)
USING anecdotes and interviews with those at the heart of football protest movements (whether against corruption or simply crap pies), as well as ordinary fans, this book looks at how and why certain groups of fans succeeded in their particular battles.
Just as importantly, it also looks at why other campaigns failed and how, all too often, those protests simply degenerated into ugly violence, hooliganism and intimidation.
From the stratosphere of the Premiership to the lowest reaches of the national league, the author examines the greatest outcries of British football and investigates the tense, and at times, violent atmosphere behind each one: a gripping expose of organised dissent and disorganised ruckus.
