Paul Allen and Douglas Naylor have followed Sheffield Wednesday for over 30 years. As staunch members of the fearsome Owls Crime Squad they presided over some of the most notorious violence on and off the terrace. After quitting the scene they break years of silence and have come forward to tell the real story behind the OCS.

The essence of this book is about the feeling that you get when you know it's going to 'go-off', it is about the surge of adrenaline felt during that split-second pause when silence hangs heavy in the air, before the roar goes up and combat is joined. It is about pain and despair, and it is about laughter and elation. It is about ordinary lads with a compulsion for terrace culture and all its trappings. As the authors themselves state, this a no-holds-barred account at life at the sharp end of football. Brutally honest, intelligent and thrilling this is a book that gets to grips with the phenomenon of the football hooligan and answers the questions of why and how the violence is perpetuated.
