Nah, that was a long time ago. English hooliganism was at it's worst in the 80s with the Heiseldrama as it's saddest example. Tighter legislation, lifelong stadium bans and proactive police monitoring have been very succesfull at containing the problem. Only with the national team on away matches the occasional things happen when it's harder to keep track of known hooligans.
