Former police officer James Bannon sat down this us to share his story of infiltrating a British football hooligan firm.

James spent two years undercover with the infamous hooligans of London-based football team Millwall, known as the Bushwackers, during the height of football violence in England in the late 1980s.

James' story was adapted into the 1995 film 'I.D.'

to attack a chap like that in front of his wife and kids is just savage. Such an act of cowardice. I hope those girls have been able to heal from it.

Hitting an innocent man especially in front of his children is lowest of the low !!! Absolute scumbag

I had no idea that hooliganism was THIS intense and organised. It’s frightening. Very brave guy as well

I could listen to this guys stories all day. I’ll never be able to fathom how people can be so attached to a game to the point of wanting to hurt someone else, I know people are passionate but it’s just football.

A friend of mine told me a similar story. In Croatia, where I come from there is a long standing rivalry /hatred between the top two football teams, Hajduk Split and Dinamo Zagreb. Him and a few lads were going to a Derby with a van and it broke down on the highway, so they were pretty bummed out because they will miss the match. Naturally, every football fan has a sticker on his car from his favorite club. So to their astonishment another van stopped with a Dinamo sticker on it. They were pretty thankful to the guys who stopped for helping them. So lo and behold instead of helping the poor guys with their broken down van they beat the crap out of them, got back into their van and drove off. I mean, passion and love for a club only goes so far... That guy punching the guy on the train in front of his wife and kids is just a maniac and I hope he was locked up

Loved his emotions. It's like a rollercoaster of ups and downs and loved seeing him feeling happy and sad, he just presents emotions well.

My Dad was a Millwall hooligan, a half way line boy to be precise. He used to take me as a child to watch them play and kick off. I've never been interested in Violence or hurting people as Dad did but ile always love Millwall, not just because it was my father's Legacy but I'm from Millwall aswell. He even kept a scrap book with every single match he attended during his youth till i was little, still got the book to this day, RIP Dad

I googled him because I thought he had a great acting potential. It turned out he tried his luck in acting and even got some advice from Gary Oldman. He is a successful author, stand-up performer and investor, so I'm glad he is doing very well.

My dad used to be into this sort of thing before I was born. He still has scars from it all and tells some horrific stories of when the other firm catches you on your own etc.
He always says he regrets it and never fully understands when he even got involved in the beginning. I remember him saying it feels like you was part of a pack/family and you all looked out for each other.
Luckily my mum got my dad out of it all before I was born and he hasn’t turned back since

Used to work with this older guy who was a Chelsea fan who would tell us about what him and his mates used to get up to when he was younger, even he said he was shocked at the level of violence of some of them, him and his mates were in Pizza Hut once and they left without paying for some poor guy working there tried to stop them who went "Come on lads don't be like that" and one just turned around and KO'ed him with one punch, another occasion they were in a snooker club and they offered to play these young guys at a game, for whatever reason one started on this young fellow and broke his jaw with a snooker cue, he could see that his jaw was out of shape, even Paul said he felt sickened by what happened and said leave it out he's just a kid!

Some people are just raving lunatics, some real scumbags out there, watch yourself at all times.

Propper football hooligans don't attack shirts. Hooligans know who the other hooligans are, and who's up for it. The guy who attacked the crystal palace fan on the train with his kids wasn't a hooligan, he was obviously just a knob head

need more stories like this over a longer time, maybe like 45 minutes.

The book on this man’s story is unreal. The stories and details of his operation and how it took over his life is unbelievable!

There was pain in his voice when asked about attachments to some fans . Imagine making genuine friends and knowing they were living a lie thinking you were just like them, if you knew they were good at heart it must feel so snakey knowing they see you as a friend and to you theyre just part of your job

When my Dad was 15 he was wearing an Oldham scarf waiting to get on the bus home from the game, and he got jumped by about 10 25+year old Tottenham supporters who stomped his face in and broke his nose which gave his sinus problems for life. To this day he's never been able to forgive them and will literally walk out of a room if Tottenham are playing.

Mad respect to the man. Interestingly enough, both of the undercover police officers interviewed on this channel (drugs police officers and now this bloke) have chosen to leave the force. And both seem to be decent people ending up criticizing the police for not doing a good job. If only there were more officers like them instead of the blue wall of silence.

This is one of the best ones youve ever done.

This is the story of I.D. a film from the 90s. Really good film. Clearly the stories influenced the guy to write the film or the film director spoke with these officers.
There are exact scenes in the film that this guy tells. Was very interesting to hear his accounts first hand. Love his honesty and integrity
