These kids were actually skipping around with excitement." In November, a gang 20 strong invaded a suburban party in Surrey, tore down a garden wall, wrecked furniture and sent eight guests to the hospital. Soccer games bring skinheads flocking, usually with weapons ranging from meathooks and carving forks to chisels and pipes.
