Synopsis
The man The Sun newspaper labelled 'Britain's most notorious soccer thug' returns with the second and final volume of the most hard-hitting terrace memoirs ever written. Tony O'Neill was a leader of Manchester United's huge hooligan gang for three decades, from the Red Army days to the advent of the mysterious Men In Black. Taking up where Red Army General left off, he begins with Operation Mars, the massive undercover operation to trap United's 'top boys', and reveals the truth behind their headline-making Crown Court trial and their eventual acquittal. The Naughty Nineties saw a resurgence in soccer warfare and such legendary episodes as the infamous 'Night of the Balaclavas' at West Ham; mass battles with deadly rivals Leeds United when no police were present; infiltrating the main stand at Anfield; fighting the Birmingham Zulus on national television at a championship boxing show at the NEC, mixing it in the street with Newcastle's Gremlins; giving the Cardiff Soul Crew their biggest shock; and the terrorising of Glasgow Rangers by the 'Unbeatable 500.' O'Neill also found time to put David Beckham in his place at Budapest Airport and to lead United's following around Europe in the historic Treble Season, before he was finally caught, jailed and banned from attending matches. Just like its author, The Men In Black pulls no punches.
