Armed for the Match: The Troubles and Trial of the Chelsea Headhunters

Product Information

The Headhunters’ links to the far right stem from the mid-1970s, as the skinhead youth culture became increasingly politicised and associated with football hooliganism. The Kings Road, very close to the Chelsea ground, became a focal point for west and south London skinheads. It was during this period that Stuart Glass and many of the older hooligans became active with both the Headhunters and the NF. Hooliganism was also on show when the BBC broadcast a documentary about the notorious Chelsea Headhunters football hooligans. Over the whole of the last football season, BBC journalist Donal McIntyre spent time in the company of some of Britain’s most violent hooligans. After his arrest he shouted: “I was promised there would be no more harassment.” But he denies paying bribes to the police. The charges were later dropped. Agnew said: “I am not a paedophile. Girls lie about their age but I have never knowingly screwed a child. Buglioni, Gaetano; King, Martin (1 August 2008). Bully C.F.C.: The Life and Crimes of a Chelsea Head-hunter. Head Hunter Books.

The tribal nature of football will always make some involved in hooliganism susceptible to the overtures of the far right. While only a minority will actually become active in nazi groups, the violent nationalism that accompanies English hooliganism abroad and the strong loyalism that is dominant within the scene combines to produce a breeding ground for xenophobia and racism. The Chelsea Headhunters is one example of how the culture of racism and nazism becomes entrenched in a gang of hooligans. The Chelsea Headhunters are a notorious English football hooligan firm linked to the London football club Chelsea.During much of C18’s existence, it has been the Chelsea Headhunters who have formed the largest single group within it, to the point where the political group was widely seen as a Chelsea "firm".

Agnew, from Larne, Northern Ireland, has a share in half a dozen hi-tech theme bars with names like Nero’s Forum, the Blue Nile and the Cambodia Club. RESOLVED: The Board resolved to agree to seek alignment, as far as possible, with summer 2021 outcomes for all students, following the precedent of the pioneering 2020 Autumn series. 43/21 Approach to grading GCSE, AS and A levels in 2022 McIntyre, and several other BBC journalists, secretly filmed football violence, the organising of fights and the boasting afterwards. More importantly perhaps, the programme gave the viewers an insight into the minds and mentally of English hooligans.

The government’s intent is to streamline the qualifications offer and that qualifications that overlap with T Levels will not be funded for 16 to 19 year olds. Technical qualifications will need to be approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (Institute) and meet requirements set by Ofqual and academic qualifications will need to meet requirements set by Ofqual.

The close Headhunter association with following England has increased the nationalist and xenophobic attitudes of many Chelsea hooligans. Regular trips to Glasgow Rangers and Northern Ireland have only reinforced this relationship.

The Chief Regulator shared some reflections on her first few days in post and meetings with key stakeholders, including seeking and receiving the Board’s endorsement of her approach to regulation on behalf of learners. The Board was updated on the timeline for publishing both the adaptations arrangements and the contingencies consultation following the change in Secretary of State for Education (SoS) and Ministers. The adaptations for 2022 were important as teachers needed as much clarity as possible about content for teaching and assessment. The delay would have minimal impact on Vocational and Technical Qualifications (VTQs) but could be problematic for qualifications requiring advance information for the autumn assessment series. If it's the lad I've heard a bit about who was known as 'One Arm B' he wasn't one of the Chelsea Casuals. He was from the '70s era who was young enough in the '70s to be involved in the '80s. Apparently, he was their main lad in the '70s, or at least most well known lad, but not in the '80s and by that time Chelsea were a casual mob. In relation to results days in 2022 the Board was advised that the interests of students, and ministerial focus, would prioritise safe delivery of, and, therefore, public confidence in, exams in 2022. It was noted that although there was some support from the sector to hold results days in the same week this could be detrimental to students in terms of the ability of centres to provide pastoral support, and heightened delivery risks. In light of these reasons, it was noted that Ofqual’s view was that students would be best served by retaining results days at the usual time. This would need careful communication, making clear the reasons for this position, founded on the interests of students. The timetable for all VTQ results days had yet to be confirmed and the proposed timetable for General Qualifications (GQ) results days includes those VTQ qualifications that are assessed at the same time as GQs and allow for progression to further destinations in the same way.
