THE Bradford City Ointment needs no introduction to
anyone who takes an interest in football violence. For
decades the hooligan gang has brought serious trouble to
its rivals. From Stockport County to Tottenham Hotspur,
and the dozens in-between, those who have come across
the Ointment never forget. Bradford had easily the best
northern firm in the lower leagues throughout the 70 s
and early 80 s and could have made any top ten list in
the country. With potential of pulling numbers of 300,
it was often cup games against top division opponents
where the Ointment found its true level. But the
Bradford hooligans dealt with what was put in front of
them and the lower leagues could be fun. This book
details the history of the Ointment from the late 70 s
to the present day. It s not for the faint-hearted as
you are taken through a journey of extreme violence and
shocking acts of brutality. These include
life-threatening stabbings, drug abuse, robbery,
gangland activity, long prison sentences and tragic
death. The book reveals how the Ointment emerged from a
razor blade wielding gang known as the Town Boys in the
1970 s to become one of the country s most notorious
hooligan firms. Well over 50 football clubs are
mentioned in this book. Any firm who has come across the
Ointment over the last 40 years will know the plot. Now
here is the inside story. THE FOLOWING TEAMS INCLUDED IN
