"Hooliganism" is the term used broadly to describe disorderly, aggressive and often violent behaviour perpetrated by spectators at sporting events. In the UK, hooliganism is almost exclusively confined to football Always existed in the sports history but become a more serious problem since the 1960’s In the 1980’s was linked to English football supports after numerous incidents particularly aboard – where there were violent assaults including murders Not as serious a problem now – some violence between rival clubs/gangs – arranged through mobiles or social networking sites. The worst cases are usually linked to international games. Other countries more so than England now have problems with Football Hooliganism An example: Heysel disaster of 1985, in which a "charge" by Liverpool fans at rival Juventus supporters caused a wall to collapse, resulting in 39 deaths. English teams were banned from European club competitions until 1990, and during this time, substantial efforts were made by the police to bring the problem under control. Many laws have been passed in an attempt to control the growth of Hooliganism In April 2000, Christopher Loftus and Kevin Speight, two Leeds United supporters, were stabbed to death in Istanbul ahead of a UEFA Cup semi-final, in what the coroner's inquest described as "an organised ambush" by Turkish fans
