Leaders of a Hooligan Fight

It happened in the nineties, we were young and proud,

When we knew there wouldn't be such a night.

They were gods, we were better, so come on, shout it out:

We were the winners of a hooligan fight!

We were the winners of a hooligan fight!

.

So much stronger than before

We've caught them out on the floor,

So what? So what?

And after the day passed through

We did what we had to do,

So what? So what?

.

It happened in the nineties, we were young and proud

When we knew there wouldn't be such a night.

They were gods, we were better, so come on, shout it out:

We were the leaders of a hooligan fight!

We were the leaders of a hooligan fight!

.

We weren't jealous of the kids

When we swung our iron fists,

So what? So what?

We fought with blood in our face,

Kicked them all over the place,

So what? So what?

.

It was back in the nineties, we were young and proud

When we knew there wouldn't be such a night.

They were gods, we were better, so come on, shout it out:

We were the leaders of a hooligan fight!

We were the leaders of a hooligan fight!

.

Red cross on white ground,

We waved our banner all over the place

Bad thoughts to good sound,

We kicked them down on knees, brothers of rage!

.

It happened in the nineties, we were young and proud,

When we knew there wouldn't be such a night.

They were gods, we were better, so come on, shout it out:

We were the winners of a hooligan fight!

We were the winners of a hooligan fight!

It was during the FIFA World Cup 2006 when everything changed; for the first time since World War 2, Germans went out on the streets, waving German flags. Although that was a dream I had as child, I never expected it to happen. Even within me, it changed something. From that tournament on, I also started to support the German National Team.

England was, is and will ever be my first love!
