Nick Love's The Football Factory............

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2004)

Awesome... the only word to describe Nick Love's celluloid study of football hooliganism. Take the trip into the testosterone filled world of the football hooligan, you will NOT be disappointed. If you, like many believe that the football hooligan is a Doc Martin'ed and flight jacketed beast of the terrace then think again. Nick Love shows the uninitiated that the hooligan is a merely normal bloke not unlike the pleasant/good looking fellow you passed this morning/evening on your way to work. The only difference is, he is fed up, bored with his humdrum job and on a matchday does NOT want to go shopping. Meet the boys... Tommy Johnson, Billy Bright, Rod and Zeberdee, the drug fuelled agressors of the movie who are planning the feared trip to Millwall.
