Roberto Russo

Italian football, we are led to believe, is in crisis with 'The Ultras', Italian hooligans, being held responsible for the death of a policeman after a recent match in Sicily. Questions are now being asked in their parliament and solutions hurriedly put in place after some of the worst scenes of violence ever witnessed at a football game. In addition, matchi-fixing and racism add to the problems facing the Italian authorities. Russo - a Torino 'Ultra' - writes in depth about how the Italian hooligan scene works, about the clashes and the politics playing out behind the scenes.
