Rather surprisingly, given that football hooliganism was, and still is, associated with right-wing racists, Pennant is black. He recalls Newcastle United fans chanting "Chicken George" at him on one memorable occasion, shortly before a petrol bomb was thrown, but adds: "The support behind me that day from the West Ham ICF lads never wavered." How sweet.
He has a much more detailed account in his book though
