In a Dublin bar, Danny Grainger is over from London for the football game Republic of Ireland V's England 15th february 1995. He's a respectable guy, good city job but still a Hooligan at heart, just another normal face in the crowd for the Ireland/England game in Lansdowne road feb 95. Danny meet's Roisin, a Cork girl who is working in Dublin bar . They spend the day together but as the evening football match draws closer he tells her he is off to watch it. Danny has other plans though, he is the leader of the English Firm and has come to Ireland with a plan for nothing but trouble. After the game is abandoned because of hooligans fighting, Danny needs somewhere to hide. He had arranged to meet Roisin the following day but knowing no one else in Dublin and afraid to go back to his hotel he calls Roisin, this was his escape form the streets. He meets Roisin and his adrenalin is running high. Roisin suggests Danny comes to her flat, That night they sleep together and thus the love affair begins. Danny tells Roisin he has never met anyone like her before. He tells her straight that he will marry her some day. Danny adores and fell in love with Roisin the first time he set eye's on her. They marry and have 2 children, Patrick (Paddy) and Connor (Con). As the years go by the children are now 9 and 10 and a family crisis occurs where the four of them are required to take a group blood test. Danny finds out that Patrick is not his biological son. He is heartbroken. He confronts Roisin and learns the hard truth that Roisin has covered up the fact throughout their marriage. Danny leaves Roisin and takes Connor back to London with him. With the family now Ripped Apart and Danny raising Connor on his own he slips back into his old ways of football hooliganism. He finds comfort in this but not realising the consequences of his son following in his footsteps. His son, now a man is on an inevitable course through life and becomes the Leader like his father once did of the young Arsenal Firm 'The You Patrick has grown in Ireland and after losing his father figure he also took a destructive path in life. He also became a football hooligan just like his long lost brother and found comfort in football hooliganism by becoming leader of Cork City's junior membership 'The Lodge Boys'. 'When Arsenal drew Cork City in the Champions League the two brothers after a lifetime apart would meet again on the battlefield'. Danny's troubled youth had come back to haunt him. When he left Roisin he had torn two young children apart. Brothers Ripped Apart. Now both had turned in to what he feared so much 'Hooligans'.
