Suicide Squad

The Inside Story of a Football Firm

Plot

Burnley FC fans are famously the most loyal of all: their club claims the biggest support in the country compared to the size of its town. Out of the terrace wars of the 1970s emerged a gang known as the Suicide Squad and Andrew Pot Porter was one of its leaders. Burnley's rollercoaster history - from the old Division One to Division Four and the threat of non-league football - meant the Suicide Squad clashed with just about every rival mob in the country, with Pot always in the thick of it. Pot's account is a gritty, realistic and vivid portrayal of the wild side of British football.
