The media, particularly since films like Football Factory, Green Street and the Danny Dyer documentary series, seem to think we must all harbour respect for these idiots. This gang existed for only a short time and when it was disbanded the CCS members of it went on to become a significant part of the Manchester United superfirm the Men in Black. Barely a matchday went by without reports of the CCS being involved in serious fighting with supporters of rival clubs, while the group also had links with the world of organised crime and drugs.

Michael Imrie, 24, and Gerald McCann, 46, both from Edinburgh – nine-month jail terms and two-year football bans. There was definitely one well-known (but very talented) Hibs player back then who moved to "one of the big Glasgow clubs" (shall we politely say) and was supposed to be on pocket money wages there when his new club had to pay off some "colourful Glasgow business characters" (shall we also politely say) to prevent him getting malkied over unpaid gambling debts.

If the hibs mob was a true hibs mob they would never had allowed hearts boys to join them, they just wanted to be a great mob and took all the casuals they could get to be number one, or two if you liked the ASC better. Well if he and his mates (in the picture) are there's little or no chance anyone will be able to squeeze past the fat turds. with Andy Blance and Bobby Lipscombe lifting their Hibs jerseys to reveal their CCS mottoes and other casual-related slogans - much to the horror of the show's execs, who finally realised who they had booked on.

Some Hibs boys were among the interviewees while they were in Amsterdam before the friendly international fixture between the Netherlands and Scotland. In 1990, a pre-season friendly was organised between Hibs and Millwall, whose casuals were among the largest and most vicious in Britain.The two mobs clashed on Easter Road and after some fighting the CCS ran away, but one Hibs boy got severely beaten and was in a coma for a week. Although the CCS were never accepted by the club as real fans and despite the antipathy often shown towards them from other Hibs supporters, the gang were also opposed to this threat to the club's future.
