The hooliganism phenomenon has been analyzed by many people in order to find out the basic characteristics of football 'bad apple'. If we were to make a portrait of a typical hooligan, the evidence suggests that we need to look at young people in their late teens or their 20s (this numbers do not apply to leaders) with jobs that provide a very low income. It is no surprise that London hooligans usually have more influence than the ones from the northern part of England. Moreover, it is defiantly stylish and macho in these types of groups to underline that you have the possibility to spend on, or to steal, original sportswear or leisure wear and that you have a good sense of fashion. Competition on these aspects between football gangs and within them has been powerful, and rival fans often express ironic remarks concerning the style of the others the accent being on underlining cheap and unfashionable cloths.
Hopefully, they will grow up... and come to know true life values...
