Rangers and the Famous ICF: My Life With Scotland's Most-Feared Football Hooligan Gang (33 page)

I was nicknamed Billy Britain thanks to my penchant for wearing patriotic colours. I had this tattoo done to symbolise my love for Scotland, Britain and the ICF.

To me this shop sign, which depicts the flags of Ulster, the United Kingdom and Scotland, says it all about this great country of ours. I also wanted to include (

The one who got away. Here I am at the front door of Ibrox (without, I should add, Rangers knowing anything about it). Maybe in another life . . .

Celtic fans are forever claiming that referees favour Rangers. So just to keep in the spirit of things I wore this referee’s outfit for the last game of season 2010/11 down at Kilmarnock. I don’t know if it helped but we clinched our fifty-fourth league title.

I do have interests away from football. Here I am with my musical hero, Paul Weller, who of course didn’t have a clue who I was.

Now that I have given up on hooliganism my main interest is in running kids football teams, along with my fellow coaches at Drumsagard FC.
