I did but never heard that before. Got on the tele mind. Someone did a great banner with archer-bellotti ‘natural born losers’ to ape the film out at the time. Very well played if someone reading this was responsible. Still makes me chuckle today!

Who was the Albino lad who came along with the Clifton Lads ?
We used to meet up on the train from LA to Hove back in the late 70's

Yes, I've heard this about the Maytree before. But apparently the ciders were absolutely top-notch...
Why would we do we?
And what does that have to do with Brighton having a football hooligan firm and what exactly is a "football hooligan firm?"
There was a train from LA to Hove in the late 70's?
Must have had something to do with that Hotel California on the Brighton seafront.

I keep seeing and hearing the nickname Toofy from years ago, now I actually knew someone with the same moniker though until reading this thread never put 2 and 2 fee together, for those that have mentioned him was his real name Dave?
I'm guessing no, and it's a complete coincidence but I'm very interested as the Toofy I know seems a million miles away from being a ex foitball hooligan but one never knows.
The reason I've not asked him about this himself is that he last I heard was living in Australia stroking Koalas for a living.

So Toofy is NOT an ex foitball hooligan that one never knows. How come Toofy never knows any ex foitball hooligans in Australia that bring stroking Koalas back to life?
A "hooligan firm" is a group of people doing football hooliganism.. not that complicated.
Pretty dead concept in the UK as far as I know, I always here about Swedish hooligans going to Poland, Russia, Holland, Portugal and a few other countries to fight but never to the UK. Why? No idea

I’ve heard talk of the ELF back in the day. Not sure if they’re active still.

You’re unbelievable - wasn’t that their hit?
