An Association Football supporter who arguably takes the "support" part more seriously than the football. Portrayals (and Real Life examples) tend to range along a sliding scale of criminal behaviour. Some are fans who've gotten drunk and found themselves in a Bar Brawl, while others are organised "firms" — gangs formed on the basis not of ethnicity or home turf, but of the members' favoured team. Hooliganism bears a similarity to Fight Clubbing in spirit, in that rival firms usually stick to beating each other up. However, as it takes place in public and is often backed up by tribal loyalties and strong emotions, it can easily escalate into armed battles, property damage, fights with police, and stampeding civilians — it's basically a Powder Keg Crowd set off by football. It's widely thought of as a very British trope, but hooliganism in football (and other sports) is prevalent around the world (even in the United States) — and as far as football is concerned, there are some very wild Ultras in Spain, Italy and most Eastern European countries. That said, football hooliganism has been a scourge on British public life for generations, and it remains a defining British characteristic for foreigners (particularly Americans). The specific British tropes related to the phenomenon are the London Gangster and The Yardies, groups which can overlap with hooligan populations. Scotland adds another dimension with the Violent Glaswegian being part of the particularly violent Celtic-Rangers rivalry. In Real Life, sports hooliganism occurs with a number of sports, but media attention focuses on football incidents. There have been brawls with fists and weapons, riots, and stampedes. In some European cities, riot police with body armor, shields and water cannons line the streets around the stadium. |

EO: EO, a donkey, wanders up to the site of a soccer match. It winds up being briefly, informally adopted by fans of the winning team, taken to a victory party and being fed beer. Then angry goons who support the losing team burst into the party carrying clubs, send the fans of the other team running, and beat EO half to death. | |

Burnistoun takes a couple shots at the famous Glasgow football rivalries: A recurring gag in Series 3 subverts this. In the sketches, rowdy-looking fans of the Burnistoun United football team attempting to come up with rude songs to sing at the opposing team, but tend to make them overly nice and polite instead. In one sketch, police are stationed at the football game to prevent a riot. However, they end up provoking one instead after one of the officers pepper-sprays the goalie of the team he doesn't support. Quality polis indeed. |

In Cockneys vs. Zombies, two mobs of undead football hooligans encounter one another in the street, each still dressed in the colors of their favorite team. They immediately stagger to the attack, clumsily hitting and shoving one another, and ignoring the living protagonists who marvel that "[e]ven when they're zombies, they can't stand each other." | |

The Simpsons: "The Cartridge Family" is a Take That! to soccer in general. The crowd at an international match breaks into a riot because the game is too boring (one team idly passes the ball around the center circle as the opposition just watch) and turns the city into a war zone. In "Marge Gamer," Lisa joins a soccer team (with Homer as a ref) and "flops" her way to victory. When called out on it, she watches a documentary about flopping. The documentary detailed one game which caused a riot that lasted for 23 years. Another game, in Brazil, was so severe, it was enough to make a statue of the Virgin Mary come to life and "beat the living snot out of everyone." Same trope, different sport in "Lisa on Ice": when Bart refuses to take a penalty shot against Lisa, allowing their hockey game to end in a tie, it turns the crowd into a riot. In "Missionary: Impossible", Homer and Bart watch Do Shut Up, a British sitcom about a family of soccer hooligans on PBS. |

In EuroTrip, two of the protagonists run into a Manchester United fan club (in Londonnote Not failure to research, but a subtle gag about English football culture. Among fans of other teams, it is often believed that most Man United fans don't actually live in Manchester, and are shallow idiots who only like them because they're successful. Americans, picture stereotypes of the New York Yankees in baseball or the Dallas Cowboys in American Football.). The club is exaggeratedly violent, but the two of them manage to make a good impression (and convince them that they are United fans from the US), so the club welcomes them in and even gives them a ride to France for a match. The club shows up again at the climax to help save the day. | |

They put a shirt on him because he looked cold and they only politely say goodbye and good luck when Spidey, who’s just a random American teenager to them, breaks the lock on the cell with his super strength and leaves. They shut back the cell too when he leaves. | |

One episode of Welcome to Wrexham covered hooligan culture after a group of drunken Wrexham fans started violently attacking everyone they could get their hands on, including other Wrexham fans. Jonny Taylor, a Wrexham-supporting hooligan, doesn't seem to realize how destructive his behavior is and he continually justifies it as him showing off his passion for the club. His girlfriend keeps trying to point out that his actions have gotten himself repeatedly banned from the club and under police orders not to go anywhere near the grounds, but he keeps brushing her off. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney say, on camera, that they won't tolerate any violence and that it has no place with the club. | |

Mentioned in several Shadowrun sourcebooks, mostly that rioting football crowds are a very convenient way for runners to cover up other crimes. | |

Any fan in the setting of the Warhammer Fantasy Football spin-off, Blood Bowl, has about a 99% chance of being a football hooligan. The game itself represents this with random chances of riots, pitch invasions and other fan violence happening whenever there is a kick-off. Fans will also beat-up any player pushed into the crowed. | |

The Allies' main tank in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is crewed by hooligans. Given that their base soldiers are upgunned riot police, it's not a good mixture. | |

EastEnders had a gang of them, run by vicious gangster Terry Bates, appear as recurring villains between 2007 and 2009. In a heated discussion with Jase, who used to be a member of the gang, Minty reminds him of the real-life Heysel and Hillsborough disasters mentioned belownote this courted controversy as the line was misinterpreted as suggesting that Hillsborough was caused by hooliganism, a long-debunked theory and a gigantic Berserk Button for the entire city of Liverpool. What Minty was actually referring to was that the catch fencing at Hillsborough, against which 97 Liverpool fans were fatally crushed, had been erected as an anti-hooliganism measure in the wake of the Heysel disaster. | |

"Weekend Warrior" by Iron Maiden is about hooligans. Given that Steve Harris had the choice between a football career with West Ham United and a music career with Iron Maiden (he took the second option), he knows a lot about football — the good side and the bad side. | |

Rory Breaker in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is a black gangster and a football enthusiast. Instead of being a direct spectator, he watches footie on pub TVs. And Rory considers interruptions of the footie his Berserk Button. At best, he'll quietly refuse to turn the TV volume down. At worst, he'll get a Booze Flamethrower and the offender will end up becoming a Man on Fire. | |

Hellblazer: John Constantine gets out of a sticky situation where a demon had fused four hooligans together to kill him, while retaining their personalities. Unfortunately for the demon's plans, two were for Chelsea, the other two for Arsenal. They start beating the crap out of themselves (ultimately ripping themselves apart), allowing John to escape. On another occasion, John meets a demon who is the genius spirit of football hooliganism and accepts deaths and bloodshed in the stands as his sacrifices. |

According to The Victors Project, the Hunger Games have inspired their own hooligans in the Capitol: the Fighting Fives for District 5 and the Sixatrons for District 6. Ironically, these districts inspire such loyalty, because they are the two districts that go the longest without ever crowning a Victor, until the 26th and 28th Games, respectively. In the latter case, the Gamemakers rig the games, so the District 6 tribute can win, because the Sixatrons keep rioting when the District 6 tributes are killed. | |

The third volume of Stumptown features the Timbers Army, the spirited fans of the Portland Timbers. Scenes set at the opening Portland-Seattle game have Timbers chants as a wall of words that take up a fair amount of the background of every scene, advocating burning down Seattle in its entirety. And then a Timbers fan gets assaulted after the game. The league are terrified by this, as they tolerate aggressive chanting but know that any hint of real European- or Latin American-style violent hooliganism will probably destroy the sport again in the US for a generation. | |

Adopted for horse racing in Belisarius Series. The Greens and The Blues, and their rivalry that culminated in the (in)famous Nika riots in the original timeline that destroyed half of the Constantinople and just barely avoided leading to the destruction of Byzantine government at the time, were treated much like modern football hooligans or the rival firms. | |
