These Colours Don’t Run: Inside the Hibs Capital City Service

"The Herald Scottish best-seller". The Hibs Capital City Service. The CCS. They were the real deal. At first a rather disorganised bunch, the CCS was galvanised by the savage beating of one of their members by Aberdeen's firm. Enraged, they swore revenge - and got it, in the most spectacular way possible. They attacked Aberdeen with a petrol bomb, right in the heart of Princes Street. Established as number one, there was no going back for the CCS. They rampaged across Scotland, England and the Continent. There were legendary offs with mobs from Rangers, Celtic, Hearts, Chelsea, Man United, Millwall . . . and even the Tartan Army. The CCS also organised a Scottish supermob to take on England's notorious hooligan army and the result was mayhem on a huge scale. Derek Dykes was a leader of the CCS and in this violent, uncompromising yet often humorous book he takes us to the beating heart of football hooliganism in Scotland. A compelling read.
