In I Love Hooligans we enter the world of a homosexual hooligan. Football is what he lives for. His sexual orientation is a well-kept secret. As a hooligan, his club is everything to him. The match against the archrival is the highlight of the year. On the day they turn to booze and drugs, looking for excitement with whatever presents itself. Like hungry lions they search out their potential prey. All matches end and he has to go home, where no one is waiting. Here he admits that he longs for warmth, security and love. Among his football mates he doesn't feel lonely. At the end of the day, this homosexual hooligan has but one dream: To die in the arms of my loved one.

Notes
To me, this film was more interesting as an artistic expression than as hooliganism explained. The story is said to be of an actual closeted gay "hooligan" football (soccer) fan, who has been disguised for his safety.
