- As thousands of English football fans travel to Germany for the European Championships, The Times reports from Gelsenkirchen to find out if the 'English disease' still exists.
The local authorities have ordered stadiums to serve only weak beer or shandy and have barred fans from drinking in the stands.
This week trouble had flared outside a restaurant in Gelsenkirchen and video on social media showed tables, chairs and bottles being thrown before riot officers arrived.
German police said a group of Serbia fans were eating inside when a large group of England fans tried to get in. Eight people were arrested and one fan was taken to hospital with a head injury.

Is English hooligan culture dead?
Let us know in the comments 👇
A big YES people are living in the past, and its almost like they want English fans to kick off just to point the finger.
Well,more gays and lesbians , weakened the manly spirit 😂😂😂
Its been dead since 1990, catch up

We are More Worried About Muslim Grooming Gang's , in The UK 🏴🏴🇮🇪🏴
stop reading the daily mail
21 white english people convicted of peadophilia just the other day in the west midlands but go on
@BOZ_11 That is all these people have. Why take away the hate from them? What are they gonna live for? Get a Phd?
But they are not grooming gang members ..kids are safer with them than pro Hamas folks..
I am Indian myself so no you calling me racist won't work..
@@BOZ_11 Didn't you hear about the grooming gangs all over the uk?
The authorities covered it up for years. Its well documented. You probably didn't see it on the bbc.
It died ages ago, we just like to drink sing and make friends these days.
Not dead mate
Not mainstream at all. No high profile incidents these days compared to yesteryear. @@Oldhamfyc
Our hooligans are chilling in their slippers on their pensions!🏴
They did their bit to put us on the map 😂
In the 70s/80s everyone was into hooliganism.Todays youth are happy to sit behind a computer screen playing game.They do not have the same intent. So as the culture dies out the originals are pushing 60 or older now. The banning orders and cc cameras was also a big factor. For the uk I think you will always see bits of trouble but nothing like in the past. Most of these countries came to the sceen way after the English has packed in.
Thanks police state
Your spelling and grammar is horrific
Yes about 20 years.the oldschool fans from the 90‘s are too old
90's? Our hooligans were 70's and 80's!
@@MrChristbait but that 90s was the last real generation of hooligans.
3000 English fans were banned from travelling to Germany.

But not the old school. These 3000 are just drunktards nowadays.

Most of times England provoked ....
This is your British values. And their was a protest earlier in the month for British values . This is it.
Excuses Excuses
Wait....didnt Amsterdam have a problem with english tourism
Yesssss. 😂 we like to have a drink. Have fun but if a confrontation happens English don't back down 😂
Hooliganism died 30 years ago in England
Still a few issues, but far less than the bad old days.

Premier league start in 92 and it was all but over, little bursts at France 98 and Euro 2020 but very little else on the level that it was at.
Goes off every week still
Culture? Or a lack of it?
english, all the UK natives, have the best culture; why would people illegally immigrate there otherwise? is that good a culture
@luigicirelli2583 English culture that is too good and tolerant .. that they're now being bullied by everyone!!
I am sure the real ones are not allowed to travel to Germany this summer.
that trouble there 2:46 was no England involved it was Albanians attacking Serbians
Nije tačno Englezi i nesto malo Albanaca je napalo Srbe i dobili batine od srba .noc pre toga Srbi su u grupicama tukli Engleze i uzeli 40+ zastava
You will never get rid of it all together, it is in English DNA to get drunk and fight, it happens every weekend in towns and cities all over England.
It happens all over the world , I was in a small Spanish town a few weeks back on holiday away from the major tourist spots and kicked off twice outside a couple of bars so don’t get caught up it’s British thing mark my words it happens everywhere
Dude that stuff happens everywhere!
How tf is singing about WW2 offensive?😂 it happened and we can sing about it
Oh, so you ´d be OK with foreign team fans chanting about February 6th 1958 when playing Manchester?
Yeh, other English teams do
Even the yanks have the common sense not to sing chants about nuking japan. Only the russians are as obsessed with the second world war as you are and it shows.
@@peter_meyerlol what's that got to do with ww2 😂😂 🤡
@@peter_meyer an accident and ending WW2 is a bit different mate. And even if that did make sense, no I wouldn’t mind I quite like free speech.

The mighty Russia fans buried them in France
lol, they really did.
Uraaaaa 😂
Jackanory. Russia not won much in any format, especially wars. Bunch of absolute divs.
Yeah after English hooliganism was dead it died after euro 2000. The Russians attacked normal fans having a drink, funny how they never tried it in the 70’s-90’s isn’t it?
L Russia being banned. Deserved
Occasionally maybe but not to the extent it was before and that is actually a shame since they would bring us ordinary folks some breathing room with dealing with todays travellers from the channel
You get your lager louts and people will always hate us for being English as they did when England reached the Euro final so we’ll always be ambushed by some nation or another but largely the large fighting leagues of the 70s and 80s are a thing of the past in top flight English football. I saw this in a video where Real Madrid brought a large gang who were obviously walking through the back streets seeking a confrontation but the only people to oppose them were some women who they abused while standing in their back yards and the English Police had the audacity to reprimand the women. This would never have happened in the 80s as they would be met by a very aggressive mob. So yes it’s dead!
No. We don't hate the English for being English, we dislike them for behaving the way they do.
I had missed English Hooligans so much and England flag is so beautiful for me.🥰😍🤗🙏✝
it's the flag of a Palestinian, but dont tell them that
If you ask me, what would I prefer between a "hooligan" and an Islamist? You can share a beer with the "hooligans", less so with the others. In this case, you choose which would be more agreeable.😂😂
Islam has taken that mantle.
Think some people would like to see it kick off over there… well it sells news papers!!! 🤔 💭 … not the first little documentary on football fans by the Times … are people at the Times worried about their jobs no trouble nothing nasty to write… but maybe they could write something nice about us ENGLAND supporters and league fans … good luck tonight ENGLAND 🏴🇬🇧🏴
Just attacked scarves fans ..and got repelled by office workers 🤣
Passionate and well behave in 2006? No, you are wrong! Watch documentary about hooliganism in that world cup and the worst outbreaks of violence were caused or involved English fans.
Snow flake fans now , lads working in offices 😂
Middle class sport now

If it were around now, they'd be blaming hillsborough and heysel on immigrants lool
More then 1600 English Hooligans had a travel ban for the european championships. So there was less violence.
Those chants sound fun to chant in a group
That's what it's about
I think we have in Germany a big Hooligan Problem. And East Europe is very aggressive Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Czech Republic, Bulgarian and Russian Hooligans. In Germany is i go alone to a Footballmatch without my son. Every City have a big Group of aggressive Ultras and Hooligans. This Year is the third League very dangerous. With Dynamo Dresden, Hansa Rostock, Alemannia Aachen und Energie Cottbus. In Germany are many Ultras and Hooligans are MMA Fighters and Kickboxer and fight very professional and don't drink alcohol and take drugs. The Situation is for families and normal a big Desaster. Nice Greet from Germany. 🇩🇪
@Lisaaaa9888We have a hooligan problem our Hools fight not for our Nationalteam our Hools fight against the DFB our Hools fighting for our City Club
The German Fans are not welcome in England, Italy, France, Belgium and Spain. The most English Supporter's drink to much alcohol. The Fans von West Ham United the popular „GSE " run and don't want fight with Eintracht Frankfurt. We have in our 3.Liga better Hooligans and Fighters as England in the Premier League. I hate football and crime. I want to go with my son to the stadium and enjoy the football match. Hooligans and Ultras destroy our Football and i hated that is not good. It's my opinion. Love football love support and hate violence and crime.
It was chaotically violent in the 70's, organised and nasty in the 80's, continuing into the 90's, rhen steadily calming down since, other than a little uplift post pandemic when bored teenagers had a go.
Millwall could not stop us, but our 20 cigs a day habit did😢
Such a great day to be in Frankfort and enjoying English fans chanting, having fun, being respectful and just good company and entertainment, easy to talk to... And as a German I have to say 😂 sorry Scotland first of all Scotland get battered just has the best tune and second your fans are just too hard to understand.
So uncivilized
"As a preventative measure the decision was made to sell low alcohol beer at the stadium".
They must have had to import it especially for the game, no one in Germany had never previously ordered a low alcohol beer.
Doctors and engineers in their spare time , most of them
hahahaha. u made me laugh
But they are not grooming gang members ..kids are safer with them than pro Hamas folks..
I am Indian myself so no you calling me racist won't work..
@@dattatrayalimaye2756 Indians are pro genocide and are volunteering for places in the IDF; but I'm sure the anti-genocide protestors are a criminal bunch 😂😂😂😂
The casual scene is still about
because it's not an english team
Lost our best fans there all banned 🤣
It died because of social media and camera phones… obviously Football Factory and Green Street made it mainstream.. with all combining factors resulted in its downfall.
There were over 2,000 banning orders enforced for these Euros. Imagine asking that question if these 2,000 had got over there.
No real tough guys anymore among english hooligans.
Singing songs about the battle of Britain is now 'racist'?
Not fascist, but provocative for sure. Why always bring up WW2 during football games? It's like they have nothing else going on for them...but ok, the last time England won something in football was back in '66. So maybe that's why
Russia fans buried ex England's hoologan in Russia 2018 and recently in France.. :D
German Bombers , grossly offensive ? FFS , Its a bloody nursery rhyme
English hooligans have respect like usa national footbal team 😂
hooligan NEVER DEAD, NEVER STOP
England get batterd by everyone these days ..the England fans in the 80s would never be batterd ?
joke ! call this new generation hooligans
It's not dead. It's part of football culture and folklore.
Only about 30 years ago. Call yourselves journalists 😂😂
English Hooligans were a myth. Posturing and throwing a few beer bottles. Only real British hooligans abroad were Rangers fans.
If all the media can drag up is so say GROSSLY offensive songs , there is obviously no violence / fights etc etc to report on , even though it’s not clever to sing offensive songs it seems like it actually offends our media more than the Germans itself ,
Its alive and well in the british police and government.
Vote reform......there is a different enemy within
Are you joking?
Seen some fans in east europe still wearing doc martins,bleached jeans and listening to sham 69
sham69 ffs !!!
It isn't dead just sleeping......🚬😎
People are preoccupied with something else now, the cost of living has increased 2-3 times in the last decade, plus there are problems forced by "multiculturalism", which have almost eliminated the white-English from the big cities. The real English can still be found only in rural areas.😂🇬🇧✌️
Heard and saw some stuff in benedorm so see what would need to be avoided and not provoked
The more people are oppressed and driven to poverty no.
The Russians ended it in Marseilles
Hooligans are dying out definitely. There still are some but most fans now just want a good piss up and a laugh with mates.
They're preparing for the real cause, which is gonna be biblical and make history...
Now they want ... families too go games game tax them rather than have lads who wanna good piss up and a tear up....thats all it is
Serbia ended it here in germany
Ended what? They were fighting between themselves first and then got arrested.
All trouble came from the hooligan Serbs
@@jeffmackie547 they were sitting in a serbian pub ,then albos and brits attacked them in their pub and then run like cowards ahahahah
@@djordjedjuricic3879 That's rubbish and you know it. Serb thugs were arrested

It's in the channel oldson
They are peaceful after meeting the Serbs
😂
But it wasn’t England fans fighting with the Serbs they was fighting with themselves and a few Albanians lol
@@Jack-jz5kt You're wrong
@@bgdabg6769 I’m actually not lol the media says it was England fans if you watch interviews of people who was there no england fans were involved 😂 some of the England fans were watching
@@Jack-jz5kt Go live your life in media and leave others alone, ok?
Out of media... English fans, together with Albanians were attacking Serbs in fight you want to talk about. There were injured English fans a lot. You can find them even in your media, same as pics of England stuff they were wearing, or tattoos of English clubs.
My point is that they were suffering in many more occasions than those from media.
@@bgdabg6769 bro ur talking gibberish u can’t see none of that in any of the videos seems like ur the one living life in the media it was clearly Albanians and English fans were videoing it and the guy who was injured was wearing a black coat how can u tell he was English? lol

More Scottish than English arrests in Germany, doesn't suit the media though.
How's your freedom going 😂😂😂😂 🏴 🤡
Er, no.
Are they taking the piss.😂
what else do they have in there life!
No. When these gentlemen are abroad they do what they are famous for. Getting drunk, fighting and causing trouble. Nothing new from that beautiful country.
When has there bin any trouble from any English fans in the last 20 years. Other than france in 2016. But English fans were provoked in that incident so name me another time when English fans started trouble in the last 20 years and do not bring up the euro final in 2021. Where people jumped the fences the exact same thing happened in the Champions League final in 2022.
Сколько вы знамён потеряли Знамя потерять это Дивизии или полк потерять
This is a kindergarten brawl compared to India and Pakistan cricket post game street fights. Some kind of war is declared using fireworks, arson, and violent beatings
super cringe!
Yes it is abroad anyway ...its a case of travel bans and the fact that most of us are grandads now 😅.....also english football culture abroad has changed unfortunately though because of past events so called ultras from wherever seem to think otherwise and are sadly at times taking liberties....i can assure you they would not be if England had a proper old skool firm from the eighties out there ...i e...the i.c.f., zulus, bushwhackers ,657, the list was endless....🏴

It was a bit difficult for them in the last two World Cups, being in Russia and Qatar. Repressive regimes prevent it...
can't imagine this sort is going to be any more willing in 2026. as hard as these boys think they are they definitely won't like county jail in america. it's a bit different than the drunk pen in benidorm
Do you remember how Russian hooligans smashed English hooligans at Euro 2016 in France?))
