During the 80's, at the height of football violence, the police developed new tactics against football hooligans. This involved much more closer surveillance by the police as well as in some cases infiltration by undercover officers and dossiers began to build up on the ringleaders and gang members of various hooligan groups, this tactics eventually led the police to carry out dawn raids on suspected hooligans homes, the first of which took place in March 1986. This section gives a brief history of these raids.
Chelsea: Operation Own Goal
On the morning of the 26 March 1986, seven Chelsea fans were woken from their beds by police and arrested in front of media cameras. The arrests were carried out after months of observation and surveillance work by plain-clothes police investigating organized violence at Chelsea matches.
The operation was very high profile, hence the media cameras, and was part of the governments new high profile tactics against the hooligan. During the press conference police claimed that the men were all ringleaders of a gang known as the 'Chelsea Headhunters' , were aged between 19-34, of smart appearance, and in good well paid jobs. Police took a number of articles from each of the accused house, according to newspaper reports police took, knives, a crossbow, coshes, iron bars and other weapons as well as National Front literature. Later, after the raids, the office in charge denied that his officers had travelled to matches with the fans in plain clothes and claimed his officers had worn uniforms. Judging by the evidence given in court it appeared to be a limited operation.
Birmingham: Operation Red Card

In total 49 were, nearly all pleaded guilty to various offences ranging from violent disorder and affray; to theft and burglary; wounding and endangering life on a railway train; etc. Fifteen were jailed from between 3 months to 30 months.

About 6 months later 7 Millwall fans had their charges dropped and when the fans finally came to court the prosecution offered no evidence and the case was dropped.
Leeds: Operation Wild Boar
Operation Wild Boar was the culmination of 5 months infiltration work by 4 police officers and resulted in the arrest of 11 young men aged between 17-30 and all were charged with conspiracy to cause an affray. It was alleged in court that officers travelled with the fans who were supposedly members of a gang called the 'Leeds Service Crew' and a leader known as the 'General'. The Crown Court trial lasted nine weeks, resulting in 6 of the accused being jailed, 3 for four years, 2 for two and half years and 1 for eight months. Another youth received fifteen months Youth Custody order and another was ordered to carry out a 150 hours Community Service. The man who was nicknamed the 'General' was an ex-para, hence his nickname, was jailed for four years and found to be suffering Post Traumatic Street Syndrome after serving in the Falklands War, resulting in the judge recommending some form of psychiatric treatment.
