The Leeds United Service Crew are a football hooligan firm linked to the English EFL Championship team, Leeds United F. Give me a football hooligan any day rather than the gangs of chavs that hang about our streets causing misery for literally thousands of people up and down the country.

As you say Leeds Service Crew were / are one of the top mobs in the country during the peak days of British football hooliganism, and I was even in London one Saturday around 1980, when you brought a huge mob of 300-400, to take it to Chelsea on their own turf. During the football hooliganism period the firm were notorious and nearly brought the club to it’s knees.James Dooley is an entrepreneur who founded Away Grounds as he loves travelling to watch football matches throughout the UK. Leeds had two penalties turned down before Peter Lorimer’s disallowed goal led to rioting by the Service Crew as seats were ripped up and thrown onto pitch.

Just read last years comments ,hard to believe ,I just remember him as an out and out loonatic ,he would fit in well with this fuckin Isis crowd in Iraq, but on 2nd thoughts he is probably too violent even for them. They emerged as the casual era dawned and, against the violent backdrop of the Miners' Strike, quickly became feared by their terrace foes.It was cold and wet and only 600-odd tickets had been made available but a few headed south to watch Leeds play in front of the smallest crowd of the season. The service crew have a reputation within the hooligan groups for being one of the most violent firms in English football history. Let them get on with it, why fill our overcrowded prisons with these when people commiting real crimes get a slap on the wrist and sent home. I read it myself a few months back, and having followed the mighty Whites home and away from 1965 to 84, I reckon I'm well qualified to comment.

This then caused scores of Leeds fans to begin ripping up the seats within the stadium and throw them onto the pitch and at fans within the ground, this then caused the fans to clash with the French Police as they then continued to invade the pitch.

With Millwall we start in our teens into our twenties, we meet and settle down with a sort, have kids but don't stop being active up until our late fifties/early sixties.

A football was produced and the lads proceeded to have a kickabout by one goal as others tried swinging on the crossbar. In January 1987, the club’s reputation for hooliganism had become that when Leeds were drawn against non-league Telford United in an FA Cup third round tie, the Shropshire club outright refused to host the game at their ground, this games was then played some 30 miles away at the stadium of West Bromwich Albion.Remember 85 after the game up there , thousands of em outside the side stand we were located in refusing to budge while we locked in, stuck on buses back to Leeds station with them trying to come in on an ambushing mission, our train emptied and they were sent packing with one or two getting clumped the rest on their toes , trappy Chelsea of the north oiks the lot of em. Of course the Football Intelligence Unit of the NCIS woulnt think of monitoring a site like this would they? The 2007 game with the buses at Leeds a mate I worked with said his son referred to the Millwall there that day as 'Dads Army' because the core of our mob were in their forties and fifties. But in contrast, it also mentions Leeds United hooligans attacking a busload of school children abroad because one is wearing a Manchester United shirt under their uniform.
