ROLLING WITH
THE 657 CREW - CASS PENANT & ROB SILVESTER
|
Portsmouth's
657 Crew: the most talked-about casual football firm of
the eighties and nineties. Never out of the headlines,
this notorious gang took their name from the time of the
train they caught to away games, following their team
fanatically around the country with the kind of dedication
only a football fan knows. Here, the crew reveals its
story. Author Cass Pennant gains access to the main face
of the crew and tells all: the intense rivalry between
Portsmouth and neighbours Southampton, the violence on and
off the terraces and the comradeship between crew members.

He's
been run through with a sword; He's been shot at point
blank range; He's got reputation and respect as one of the
hardest bastards in Britain... Cass Pennant is a man who
lets his fists do the talking. One of the hardest men in
Britain, he lives his life on the edge of the law, giving
respect where respect is due and dishing out terrible
retribution upon anyone who dares to cross him. Cass's
life story reads like a Hollywood gangster movie. He tells
the amazing stories of how he once saved the life of World
Boxing Champion Frank Bruno when skinheads were attacking
him with knives; and how he was shot three times in the
chest in a South London nightclub but still kept of
fighting. As Cass says, 'I've been a bad lad and I've done
some good in my life but I'm not ashamed of anything I've
done or the choices I've made. I don't owe anyone
anything. It ain't nobody's business but my own...'

A history of the most famous football battles in history, this book presents an unapologetic account of life in the front line of football violence by Cass Pennant, the leader of the notorious Inter City Firm - the ICF - West Ham's gang of football hooligans. The Inteer City Firm were the most notorious firm of football hooligans this country has seen. They were hard, terrifyingly vicious, brilliantly organized, tremendously feared and highly fashionable.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Mile End Mob ruled Upton Park. Long before the days of the ICF, they were the guv'nors of the terraces, striking fear into the other West Ham mobs and fans. Indeed it was the reputation of the Mile End mob that drove the ICF to establish their rule over the terraces in the 1980s. Co-author Micky Smith was in the thick of the action in the 60s and 70s, when there was no mercy for an away fan at Upton Park. He was there at the clashes between the rival skinhead London mobs, the taking of terraces up and down the country and the run-ins with the authorities.
