260 Arrests, 200 Injuries | Scotland vs England Football Hooligan Violence 1989

In May 1989, Scotland and England met in what was officially labelled a friendly international at Hampden Park. But away from the pitch, this match descended into one of the most violent days British football had seen in years. This documentary focuses not on the game, but on the football hooligan violence, street battles and organised clashes that took place before, during and after the match. From early-morning ambushes at railway stations, to running fights through city centres, pub battles, stadium disorder and post-match chaos, this was a fixture that spiralled completely out of control. Using archived police reports, contemporary newspaper coverage, first-hand witness accounts, fan recollections and interviews with former hooligans, this video examines how Scottish and English football casuals prepared for the day, where the major clashes took place, which firms were involved, and why the violence became so widespread. The scale of disorder shocked the authorities. Hundreds were arrested, hospitals were overwhelmed with football-related injuries, and politicians were forced to question whether the Scotland vs England fixture could continue at all. Within years, the match disappeared from the calendar — and many believe the events of 1989 played a major role. This is the story of the Scotland vs England ‘friendly’ that wasn’t friendly at all — a day remembered not for goals, but for street warfare, tribal pride, and a hooligan culture at its peak.
