Perry Boys - Ian Hough

The Perry Boys are one of the great untold stories of modern youth culture. They emerged in the pivotal year of 1979 in inner-city Manchester and Salford, a mysterious tribe of football hooligans and club-goers united by a new fashion. Their only counterparts at the time were the Scallies of Liverpool, who became their biggest rivals, both on and off the terraces. Author Ian Hough, a first-hand witness of and participant in the movement, casts a witty, nostalgic yet unsentimental look at a cultural explosion which tremors are still being felt.
