The
tall one advances toward me, grinning, all teeth, denim jacket and faded jeans.
He
wants it, I can tell.
This
knowledge makes me content. It fills me with calm, a balance. An
equilibrium.
As
he approaches, a sense of certainty descends that this upcoming scenario is
somehow meant to be.
There
is a mutual acceptance.
A
tacit agreement that extreme violence is about to take place, that punches will
be thrown, that blood will be spilled, and that one or both of us is going to be
hurt, possibly quite badly.
Maybe
very badly, indeed.
The
Bully Brothers.
Forty-something
football hooligans determined to go straight.
A
young Internet writer charts their progress to becoming productive citizens
against the background of a disintegrating England.
Shortages
of healthy food. Zero hour contracts. Moated communities. Disturbing gangs of
homeless roaming the streets. Cancer victims forced to work for dole. Frightened
offspring poisoning immortal parents to avoid impossible care bills. Twenty quid
for the flicks, three fifty a pint, and eight quid a packet of fags.
You
don’t know whether to wear a parka to go shopping or slap on sun block.
The
writer takes their confession but stays at arm’s length. Old football war
stories - myths and fables from the terraces of Meadow Lane. Sins of Ultra
Violence two decades old carried out in service stations, back alleys and the
high streets of dead towns like Hounslow, Rotherham, Swindon and Peterborough.
Will
they succeed in going straight? Can they resist the carnage planned for the
last match of the season against Coventry’s top boys?
Or
will they fail, dragging the writer into the bloody battle with
them…
Violent
Disorder is the much anticipated sequel to Green Wizard’s best-selling Ultra
Violence.

There
will be an extract next week, and the following week, at least four interviews
with me on various blogs, where I discuss the writing of the
book.
Hope you
enjoy it.
