Playing down the violence element in casual culture is just daft. That's where it came from and that's where it stayed until acid house came along and even then some people couldn't accept hugging the people that six months before they'd been fighting with [for instance the 'Hooligans Against Acid' T-Shirts]. Back when it was brand new, the coppers didn't have a clue and the only people who knew who their opponents were on the streets and terraces were the lads themselves. The coppers were looking for people with shaved heads wearing Dr Martens. Even then there were older lads who liked a drink and a fight but couldn't get their heads around expensive tracksuits and trainers. I still see plenty of young lads wearing the trainers/clothes today. But I really can't understand the attraction of actually getting up to anything remotely like hooliganism these days, it's just not worth it. Back then, if you managed to get home [if your team was playing away] then that was it, there was very little chance of anything coming on top if they didn't catch you on the day itself. These days there's that much CCTV and clued up coppers about that even the smallest of altercation with the opposition in the street before/after the game [don't even think about inside the ground] and there's a high chance that your front door will be getting a knock by Mr Plod early one morning. So lads these days may dress like they are 'hooligans' and the vast % of them like to think they are 'pwoper norty geezers' but you can't compare it to the 70's/80's when if you dressed like that, you were practically guaranteed some action and you wouldn't dress like that if you didn't want to know. Of course I can understand the attraction of travelling somewhere today with a coach load of your mates, having a drink and a laugh, that was a major attraction back then too, there was just much more of a chance of violence back then, whether you wanted it or not. If you were a follower of a major club back then, when the sizes of the mobs that travelled was usually massive and often well policed with good info about travel times/pubs etc, you could hang around on the periphery and feel pretty safe. At smaller clubs where you were far more conspicuous it was far more dangerous in my experience. 50/60 lads a side meeting on a street before/after the game [or even inside the ground] and you needed your wits about you and the ability to look after yourself at least a bit or it could go very wrong indeed. Run off and leave your mates and you wouldn't be welcomed back the week after, that's for sure. It wasn't the few hundred singing their songs behind the police escort you had to worry about, but the 15 lads that were really up for it and that had travelled separately from the main support that could get you into major problems in my experience. And obviously it was those kind of lads that were taking the greatest risks by travelling in small numbers into enemy territory unescorted, so they obviously knew just what they were doing. I'm not saying I'm some kind of super hooligan, but I was around when all this started and I was into the clothes. I've been both the giver and the receiver over the years and I still get the cold chills remembering that graveyard by Ayersome Park one cold winter's evening in the mid 80's when it was like scene from a horror film as they all appeared out of the dark like some kind of zombie army. About 30 of us couldn't get onto that coach fast enough to assess the damage.

As cool as it is to learn about cultures at football clubs and nations all over the world, it is nice to see this kind of content a bit closer to home. It would be great if the channel could pay a little bit more attention to English football and the culture of it by for instance, like someone said in another comment, going to different teams/areas of the country (they mentioned Crystal Palace) and taking a look at the unique feeling and culture that the team provides. Obviously not every club has that sort of feel but it definitely exists, especially at a number of lower league clubs where the fans take great pride in going to watch the game. Now to check out Distant Echo because it looks pretty cool!

It was the ASC (Aberdeen Soccer Casuals) that really started the whole thing off, I'd say the story North of the border is more interesting.

Quality vid, amazing culture that's still raging today amongst the younger lot. Quality to see that so many people nowadays still relate to these values held by lads almost 40 years ago.

Today's casuals dress differently to the early 80's casuals in many ways. It's almost a completely different fashion to our look which was polos and roll necks under diamond Pringle and Lyle and Scott jumpers, split and frayed Lois or FU's jeans, or jumbo Lois cords (split of course). Sergeo, Fila and Ellesse tracksuits and t-shirts (Gabbici in the early days), La Coste anything. Trainers haven't changed much as we used to wear Gazelles and Stan Smith, Diadora but we also used to wear Kicker boots.

Nope. It was by Liverpool. A few others followed suit in 1979 then we played Aberdeen 1980 and they then followed suit.

We went up to Aberdeen in the first leg of a European Cup tie in 1980. The Anny Road mob had been dressing casual for matches since about 1978. We breezed out of the station wearing our blue Lois jeans, or black needle-cord Lois jeans, Adidas or Puma trainers, Sergio Tacchini t-shirts, Ben Sherman button-down collared shirts, some had 2-tone bomber jackets on, others wore chunky box-type cardies - don't forget, this was northern Scotland in October, it was fucking freezing. Our hairstyles were this new 'wedge cut' that had replaced the 1970s feather cut, many had fingers full of sovereign rings, big chunky things which basically acted like knuckle-dusters in a fight. A couple of smacks in the face and it would be a hospital job for stitches. Suddenly, a huge mob of pissed-up jocks came pouring out of a pub, and honestly, we stood there and pissed ourselves laughing as it looked like we were being confronted by the Bay City Roller's granddads. We pointed at them and started to chant, 'Shang-a-lang ... Shang-a-lang .....' I don't think there'd been this much tartan in one place since the Battle of Culloden. Every one of the neanderthals wore Wrangler jackets, baggy jeans, Levi jackets or jeans absolutely festooned in tartan, with fucking tartan scarves or red Aberdeen scarves tied around their wrists. They all had hair like Billy Connolly, many were ginger with huge ginger sidies, many wore tartan berets too. We were convinced we'd passed through a time portal on arrival in Aberdeen and were back in the early / mid 1970s. There was a brief Mexican stand-off as they stared in disbelief at our casual attire, before shouting homophobic stuff at us, calling up girlies, poofters, shirt-lifters etc etc. Then it kicked-off as some beer bottles were launched into our mob. We flew at them like Tazmanian Devils. The brave few who stood their ground were overawed within seconds as they were swarmed over, like ants dealing with unfortunate fat insects. We'd been outnumbered at least two-to-one, but seeing as the Russ Abbott / Jimmie Crankie look-a-likes mostly scarpered when they noticed many Stanleys being introduced, those left were given a fair hiding by us 'girlie casuals.' Contrary to popular belief, those Stanleys were very rarely 'deployed,' as on this occasion they were a very good deterrent in causing a confronting mob to scarper, but I know of many times where they helped to get someone out of very sticky situation in places like Manchester, London, Middlesbrough, Birmingham ...... Ah, those casual days. Great memories of being 'trend-setters.' Many didn't like it when they saw away fans copying our dress style, but there's a saying, Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

There is no doubt about it, the casual movement originated in Liverpool. The scousers travelled far and wide, bringing back the sort of clothing that was only available in Europe. Few can argue with that fact.

The clothing and look originated in Italy, and everyone is skipping over the influence , and Aberdeen FC played a huge role early on. Of course hooliganism was entrenched in the English scene already, but much the clothing 'look' came from Aberdeen FC.

Love your stuff fellas.A small point the London Casual scene music was more soul and black based.Anyway a lovely trip down memory lane....thanks.

Loving that manc lads clobber

I could literally binge watch Copa90 all day

Inspiring stuff in a way. I'm going to do some more research into this because it is a defining but under-appreciated aspect of English football.

Casuals these days are 14 year olds wearing a stone island jumper, Ralph polo, Levi’s and Adidas gazelles
