Casual (subculture)

The casual subculture is a subsection of association football culture that is typified by football hooliganism and the wearing of expensive designer clothing.

They did not wear club colours, so it was allegedly easier to infiltrate rival groups and to enter pubs. Some casuals have worn clothing items similar to those worn by mods. Casuals have been portrayed in films and television programmes such as ID, The Firm and The Football Factory.
