The Football Factory

What Else You Gonna Do On A Saturday?

About Me

'YOU'LL BE LAUGHING OR GASPING THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH' - Zoo
Based on the best selling novel by John King. 'The Football Factory' is a study of middle England, football violence and male culture. The story centres around Tommy Johnson, a bored twenty something who lives for the weekend, casual sex, watered down lager, heavily cut drugs...
And occasionally kicking the fuck out of someone.

Tommy's life ambles along until a violent encounter with a rival firm top boy starts a tit for tat war and a series of nightmares that force him to ask himself the question about his life: is it worth it?

Told through Tommy's eyes and linked together by his relationships with three other generations of males, The Football Factory is a drug fuelled adrenaline rush of a story about friendship, revenge and violence.

THIS IS ENGLAND'S WORST NIGHTMARE. ENJOY IT.
