Say what you want about Stoke but these lads are as game as anything
These guys? 😂😂😂😂 all in their 50s with beer bellies what are they gonna do?
I could be wrong but havent both wolves and west brom turned stoke over in recent history?
These lads are the real deal respect boys
Don't think they ever had 700 lads.
Good lads these back in the day
I think everyone knows we had some good battles with Stoke. Respect from Cardiff
A very hostile place to go in the 80s
I’m Wolves so I hate Stoke lol
700??
loving the vids
The naughty 40? More like the naughty 14 that’s about the size of their crew I miss chasing them all around london
Having said that, we had some good battle,s back in the day
good mob in the 70s 80s and 90s but i dont think they are anything anymore a shadow of their former self which to be fair to them you could say the same about most firms now, its all changed so much the golden era has gone
I’ve got the book featured in this video it’s really good
Will give anyone a go at Stoke but they dont travel away in big numbers
You should make a video about the clash with the zulus i was there!
Run run wherever you may be they are the boys from the potteries 😂
700? They were known for being well-organized and operating in relatively small numbers, but make no mistake, pound for pound they were up there with the best in the country. Highly rated by anyone in the know!
Good firm Stoke and good book.. respect from a Bradford city lad. 🇬🇧🇬🇧👊
The villa c crew and hardcore were great back in the day. I use to go to the villa vs blues games with them, top lads
I met a couple of lads who claimed to be naughty 40s in about 04 time but they ssid a lot of b.s 95% of it untrue they was only like 18 at the time and this vid probably proves they lied again it be youth one… but i don't know why you would make bold statements like that in Nottingham city centre just asking for trouble they wasn't even living in stoke at the time
When Stoke played at the Victoria Ground the place could be well "dodgy" for away fans. The Stoke mob used to ambush the away fans near to graveyard as far as I remember. Think the Stoke lads had a few plots in there reserved for the mates and me when I went with Leeds😁
Get the book "naughty" great read and all genuine real stories !!!
BTW WHO THE FUCK IS PAUL GRIFFITHS MARK CHESTER WROTE BOTH BOOKS "NAUGHTY " AND "SEX,DRUGS AND FOOTBALL THUGS" !!!!
Giggling 700 lads 😂😂😂😂
I think the police even stated in the local rag around 2001 that Stoke had around 1000 thugs and they would sort it out.Staffs police were given a grant.They did sort it hundreds banned.
Never came to London..🤷🏻
It was Walters not Wilson from the glebe
Stoke away was always a home game for Everton, we've never seen 40 lads there,never mind 700 !
All these people saying this firm, that firm never turned up etc, are living in Cuckoo land. I am Stoke, but was in Australia most of my life. I also lived in Pompey for a time in the early late eighties / early nineties. Pompey's 6:57 were a similar bunch to Stoke. Close knit and formed through the foundations of the club, but from different estates and towns nearby. Seen some right naughty lots over the years, many without the reputations , but Exeter, Walsall, our rivals Port Vale , Shrewsbury…. anyone can turn out on their day and cause a ruck. I'm too old now, and it's not worth doing 3 years or having your doors put in for throwing a Coke bottle. But I still get down Stoke, and anybody who didn't rate them back in those days , probably wasn't there.
Some memorable encounters in the 70s and 80s … respect BWFC
