A notorious ex-Manchester United hooligan has revealed his favourite London away day.

Tony O'Neill was once dubbed Britain's toughest hooligan and 'the general' of the Red Army firm.

Delving into his experiences on the Webby and O'Neill YouTube channel, part of his 'Fan Culture' series, he explained: "We had tricky situations but London was always the main focus for United.



Every time United were playing there, I would always get there, it would be very rare that I would miss London games because anything could happen.

"Euston (Station) was always the main focal point and that is why the Red Army in London was hated because when the Red Army travelled you could not control them.

"We could trust each other and there were some dangerous places to go, and I always say the night games are dangerous to go - and I had some dangerous night games."

Once considered a public menace at football grounds, Tony found himself behind bars three times over football-related brawls, with police branding him 'Target Kilo'.

His penchant for violence started in the 1970s and his last offence came in 2001.

Since hanging up his hooligan boots, he has penned the titles Red Army General and The Men in Black and taken to lecturing students about choosing a better path in life.

Tony spent his youth embroiled in skirmishes with rival supporters across London, clashing with fans from clubs like West Ham, Millwall, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

Despite admitting that things have evolved over the last couple of decades, he reminisced about his earlier days as a fierce young man, claiming: "That was the society we lived in, the 70s was wild, absolutely wild, there was so much freedom.

"People got everywhere and the police and government just could not handle it."

After sharing the footage, one Tottenham supporter recalled: "Spurs v United at WHL was always something to look forward to back in the day, United always brought a big and good firm."
