The English Border Front[1] are a football hooligan firm associated with English football club, Shrewsbury Town.
In 1998, before the FIFA World Cup in France a list of English hooligans was sent to the press in which one of Shrewsbury's leaders was listed.[2] An appearance at Euro 2000 where TV cameras caught evidence of the English Border Front on International duty with England. There is a strong hatred of Leicester City's Baby Squad due to clashes in the 70's and 80's which has even lead to clashes between the two groups whilst on England duty.[3]
