'IT MAY ALL ONE DAY COME TRUE.'
1982. Two coach-loads of Spurs supporters are burned alive by Villa fans. Football is banned.
So the supporters seize the grounds and turn them into arenas where howling mobs hurl Molotov cocktails and spray acid at one another.
Parliament is dissolved, the police go on strike.
One man comes to fight the fascist terror of the omnipotent fans.
