Hopefully this loads. It's the spurs mob(or mainly spurs) from Bethnal Green who were featured in a book "the Paint House" written in 1968 when they were skinheads. The fella with bins was well known over the lane,Sadly ill these days so I have heard.
This documentary came out when the book was released in 1972. They are 22/23 in this clip. People looked a lot older back then in film and photos
Might be of interest to Nutter-Naylor and Mrs Perryman

Thanks for that, I was only 12 in 1968 and wouldn't go to my first game until the year after, but I did live in Bethnal Green then. Don't recognise individuals or where they were speaking, but I certainly recognise the fashion and haircuts!!

This and the fact that I wanted to take my son, is the reason I don't go to games anymore.

What do you mean?

I still have the video of my first wedding. I often play it backwards so that it has a happy ending.

Tut tut!!! Disrespecting your better half like that, hang your head in shame!!

Ah, I take it back then, you can insult exes as much as you like......I certainly do

I mean that my son was so scared by the homophobic, racist threat of violence at his first game (QPR in the family stand ) that it took a couple of months to get him to want to kick a ball again.

I'm not saying that it should ever be sanitised (God forbid!) but unless we can attend the game we love in a more inclusive atmosphere then I'll sit in my armchair and talk meaningless shite on boards like this.

I’m sure that’s not true

Film directors always say to shoot the ending at the start in case you run out of money.

I went to school in Bethnal Green in the 60s. True story.

It's the Collingwood estate. That's where they were all living in book anyway,so presume it's there. The fella in glasses RP,still lives in the area I believe. Sadly he is ill,or so I have been told.

Wow. I’ve been going since I was about 7 (1997) and have never had it that bad. Rowdy, loud and plenty of bad language but not to the degree you’ve just said. I don’t disbelieve you by the way but Id be amazed if you experience any of the above in the ground now. Particularly if you are not by the away fans.

The answer to all of this is still right people in the right places. It’s going to take time and safe standing would be a huge improvement.

I went to school in Clapton briefly in the mid-sixties. We must know each other.

Knew him, good bloke with his mates to be with when there was trouble, especially at away games.

Hello everyone

We're currently in the process of researching a film we plan to make about Tottenham Boys We Are Here.

We're looking for people to speak to who own a copy (ideally an original), and anyone who might have appeared in the book.

I realise this is a long shot as there was only a small run on the first version, and it was published 40 years ago.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Cheers

Flav
