Once described by The Times as 'football aggro's pornographer in chief' and The Independent as 'the yob laureate' the success of the former serviceman's numerous non-fiction books -including Barmy Army, Eurotrashed, Kicking Off and Rebellion- have established Brimson as possibly the leading commentator on the culture of football and have also earned him a growing reputation as a fierce campaigner for fans rights and against both violence and racism at football.
Equally, the success of his fictional writing -in particular the Lynda La Plante inspired thrillers The Crew and Top Dog plus the comedy novel Billy's Log- has attracted a whole new audience to his work which has become obligatory reading for anyone with an interest in the male culture.
