Worrall, Mark (10 May 2007). Blue Murder: Chelsea Till I Die. Head Hunter Books. ISBN 978-1-906085-00-1. One of the most-feared "firms" was made up of Chelsea supporters, who were documented by a BBC documentary, Chelsea Headhunters. Before sentencing, Last trembled in front of the judge. But when his 10-year sentence was handed down, he showed no emotion. More than 200 yobs then fought a running battle for the next quarter of an hour, hurling missiles and traffic cones at each other.

The following October, however, he was among 18 hooligans jailed by a month by a Dutch court for his actions during the "Battle of Eindhoven". I don't know any of these gentlemen; just reading the tabloid, but somebody shot him in the eyeball. Nobody gets shot in the eyeball for something they did 20 years ago. The chance to rekindle the tribal camaraderie and blood-fuelled adrenaline the Headhunters had once lived for presented itself when Championship side Cardiff City were drawn away to Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup on February 13 2010.
