In 1974, Manchester United were relegated to the Second Division for the first time in nearly four decades. But while the club fought to return to the top flight, something far more infamous was growing on the terraces. The Red Army. Thousands of Manchester United supporters travelled across England during the 1974–75 season, overwhelming small grounds, local police forces and entire towns. Cardiff. Norwich. Ninian Park. Running battles, pitch invasions, travelling firms and scenes that pushed English football toward one of its darkest eras.
