Colin Blaney now an author was once a grafter on a mission - As a 70s youth he joined the boot boys of Manchester United's Red Army as they rampaged through the country. As an adult he learned to 'dip', to sneak-thieve from tills and jewellery stores with his mad Collyhurst crew. But Europe offered the greatest lure. He and his mates served time in half the jails in Continental Europe - and then went back for more. Some people live for the day. A grafter lives for the minute. In the mid-1980s, a young man from a tough Manchester estate exploded onto the soccer hooligan scene. Known to all as 'Hotshot', he was addicted to terrace violence and wanted to follow in the footsteps of the older United hooligans. He put together a gang of his own, the Young Munich's, and led through years of organised looting and violence.
