I went to every home game in the '70's at Millwall, (missed one first half when I was getting out of hospital), and yes those people were there, but in way less numbers than you'd think given the grief we got non stop in the press. Nothing was funnier than seeing "Treatment" dressed up and posing around. Thing is that Panorama had asked half a dozen other clubs before us who had turned them down (very wisely) and the club were informed that the hooligan factor would be one small part of the programme which was supposed to cover how Gordon Jago as manager was turning the club around. We were totally stitched up to the extent that Jago was so disillusioned by UK football that he went off to the US to manage the next year.
Leeds, portsmouth, Newcastle, West Ham, Chelsea and a few others were the feisty occasions, although events on the terraces often reflected those on the pitch.

I heard that the BBC tried to reunite the people in that documentary but they weren't interested.

I heard that the BBC tried to reunite the people in that documentary but they weren't interested. Not surprising, bearing in mind what Doug said about the hatchet job they did on the club first time around. |

True
Shame as I'd love to know what happened in the subsequent years
And how they feel now, as pensioners, looking back |

This was Forest's supposed super hooligan. A wretched individual whose passing in 1996 was not mourned by many.
Daily Mirror
Britain's most notorious soccer yob, Paul Scarrott, died a penniless drunk in Spain, it was revealed yesterday.
The 40-year-old Nottingham Forest hooligan spent his last months living under a false name and begging from tourists in Barcelona.
He died after falling over in the street following a massive drinking binge.
Scarrott, who was jailed 13 times for soccer violence, had been calling himself Paul Cooper. The British consulate unwittingly gave him money from a charity box when he went to them for help.
An official said it wasn't until after his death that Scarrott, from Calverton, Notts, was identified from a tattoo inside his lip.
