It would soon become fashionable, in the English slums, the word 'hooligan', associated with a stereotype of a vague, drunken man who likes to fight. It was in 1890 when the newspaper "The Times" recorded the word "hooliganism" to qualify a group of young people who followed in the footsteps of our protagonist. In just five years, this violent phenomenon began to be organized in street gangs, and not only in London, cities such as Manchester, Birmingham or Liverpool also saw the rise of groups of ultras, football fans and the tavern.
