Hooligan is a look inside football's first family of fear, the West Ham 'Inter City Firm' or 'ICF'.
A groundbreaking documentary that brought the notion of a new violent subculture to the nation's conscience.
Before The Football Factory, The Firm and Donal Mcintyre, there was Hooligan - the seminal TV expose that so shocked film director Alan Clark that he made "The Firm" about the notorious group of violent football supporters, the 'ICF'.
The 'ICF' changed the entire football violence landscape; they were professionals from all walks of life.... Designer clothes-wearing, first class travel using and above all, organised. No longer were the participants mindless tribes of knuckle dragging youths, the "ICF" were a new breed of otherwise successful, mostly well off people who got off on violence for its own sakes. Football had become the vehicle, the public at large the audience.
