In YET ANOTHER new feature (We know, our work ethic and dedication to this site is baffling), we take a look back at the days when it was more likely for ultras and hooligan groups to show up to support their national team if they happened to be using their teams ground, or traveling overseas on tour. Note: The last entry listed here MAY be a tongue and cheek effort and was never an actual group.
Spain vs Greece, friendly, 1986:
“Norte Gijon” of Sporting Gijon
Italy vs Scotland, friendly, 1988:
“Covo Rosso”, “Alcool”, “Vecchia Guardia”, etc of Perugia
Noteworthy: With CCCP, hammer and sickle, and Che Guevara on display.
England away to Hungary, friendly, 1988:
“6.57 Crew” of Portsmouth FC
Italy vs Norway, friendly, 1988:
“Bad Boys” and “Park Kaos” of Pescara
Ireland away to Poland, European Championships Qualifier, 1991:
