Flying With the Owls Crime Squad

Meet the Owls Crime Squad. A firm born in the turbulent years of the mid-1980s and charged with keeping up the legacy of the feared 1970s mob, the Eastbank Republican Army. The OCS became one of the most misunderstood mobs of the era, and was often ignored, but on their day they could mix it with the best in the business, and regularly did so. For the first time, Paul Allen and Douglas Naylor lift the lid on their years together in the steel city's premier firm. This is an electrifying and intelligent account of the legendary decades when the Owls Crime Squad became a stand-out name in the world of casual violence. It is an uncompromising look at football culture and the violence that surrounds it.

Paul Allen and Douglas Naylor have followed Sheffield Wednesday for over 30 years. After quitting the violent scene they break years of silence to tell the real story behind the OCS.
