It may be have been sold as yet another Football hooligan film but this is more of a period piece circa Liverpool 1979 with the fashion and music at the forefront. Great soundtrack and not full of your usual tracks you would expect from the time period. I didn't even realise that the first couple of Ultravox albums were at the commercial end of Post Punk and not the new wave pop of their most famous tune 'Vienna'.

The fashions don't fit that period until 80/81 and some of the music pre-dates it too.

Going from the website and some of the music is later. There are anomalies for sure. Just going by the site. The book came out in '82 so the timeframe is a little off I have to say.

There's some scouse (spits) PR going on in those links that stretches the truth a wee bit.
The big problem I've got is with the soundtrack. Some of it is well off whack.
