Cardiff City's dreaded " Soul Crew " created trouble and fights wherever they went . Now the group 's history , and Saturday takes fans against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his first home game.
- The first time I was beaten up at a football game , I was 12 years old. It was at West Ham in 1978. And instead of being afraid of that, I just got even more desire to return to a football match , says Annis Abraham Jr .
He was one of the most notorious members of what was called Soul Crew of Cardiff, the hard core who helped to make the supporters of some of the most dreaded of fotballøya from the 1970s onwards .
Aftenposten meet the lofty muscle bundle at a cafe right next to the stadium .
He is a local legend with sharp weld , gold watch and a handshake sitting in long after he has let go . Today he is a shareholder in the club, wealthy businessman and author of several books on the hooligan era.
- It was a way of life . Hooliganism was what you grew up in football. And whether you hated it and kept far away , otherwise you did like me - you visited it and loved it.
Abraham was partly named and filmed with a hidden camera in the BBC's award-winning hooligan documentary England 's shame , a representation he is deeply disagree in. He explains that he has never been convicted of football -related violence , only a few episodes that were associated with football.
- But I will not hide that I've given some occasional black eye , says Abraham today .
A reverse by
48- year-old has made as many football fans in Cardiff, he has now renounced violence culture , and look today at football matches as a peaceful family activity .
Saturday meetings Ole Gunnar Solskjaer West Ham in their first home settlements as Head of Cardiff, and Abraham is convinced that all 12 year olds who come to follow Norwegian's home debut , will feel safe.
- Five years ago, the Cardiff West Ham a fairly violent affair , but now it's completely safe , security on top and no violence. I have no problems taking my daughters to the game Saturday.
Earlier this week he was on hand to greet Solskjaer as a new coach, and Monday the two had a chat at the hotel next to Cardiff's training grounds . Abraham says he does not envy Solskjaer the job he now embarking on , and makes no secret that he believes owner Vincent Tan's respect for the Norwegian will deteriorate rapidly if profits are not .
- As a player Solskjaer obviously a superstar , and Norway has good reason to be proud of him. However , without offending you, man has trained a Norwegian club gold and I have seen my share of Norwegian football throughout . There is not much better than Scottish football.
In the shadow of rugby
When Abraham grew up in the Welsh capital in the 1960s - and 70s , was the only rugby that really counted. Soul Crew originated in the middle of the country's rugby heart, then, football was not respectable .
- They laughed at football , because we were only known hooligans and trouble. Until recently there was no money in Wales interested in investing in football. And I will not lie , Cardiff City were more known hooligans than football.
Cardiff was far from the only team that struggled with hooligans and organized fighting 30-40 years ago . But Cardiff took it remarkably long time to clear up the problem.
- The other clubs cleaned up at the end of the 1980s , but Cardiff were just more and more violence , says Abraham .
But by the turn of the millennium hit bottom .
Cardiff was a bottom team in the fourth division, and even the classic and hateful Wales derby against Swansea drew more than a few thousand spectators . Many of hooligan environment jailed for football fighting , and long atonement times helped to dissolve environment. Moreover took the club's then owner control the culture of violence and helped to improve relations between local police and supporters.
New stadium vital
The real turning point came when the club said goodbye to his stadium through 99 years , cauldron Ninian Park . The brand- new stadium Cardiff City Stadium was built in 2010 , surrounded by family friendly restaurants , modern facilities and better security systems.
- You will not believe how big the change has been, now there is hardly a cop on the Cardiff match. Now maybe arrested two to three in each game , while it used to be 200-300 . Changing stadium ended the hooligan culture in Cardiff , he said.
After the transition , the number of sold season tickets for family stands from 459 to more than 7,000. Today, 30,000 in combat, and the club has made security and improvement of the atmosphere to a matter of the heart .
And the measures worked . Cardiff has won the award for football's most family-friendly stadium two of the last three years , and they strive to make visitors away fans visit a positive experience with everything from serving stadium snacks specially made from their own home region to the stadium hosts wearing away team jerseys . Throughout 've showdown between Cardiff and Millwall been among the uroligste , but the last meeting was not arrested.
Continued temperature
According to the reverse troublemaker Abraham is the Cardiff supporters today a peaceful and diverse group, Soul Crew is history. Now, tempers peaceful outlet shapes, and directed either against the owner Tan than the other team's supporters.
Although he has had season tickets for 40 years , it is only in the last three years , Abraham has started to go with the football jersey in battle.
- Before I went in regular clothes , I was the one casual. But when Tan shift dress color from blue to red - then I started to go in blue suit on every game, says Abraham , who also dress up the whole family in blue for Saturday's West Ham settlement.
- And now we expect all that Solskjaer leads Cardiff to win on Saturday. If he fails this year, supporters explode one moves down we will upset so much pressure on Tan will break him completely and send him out of Cardiff for good.
