The giant hodor looking guys in the green shirt was not for letting anyone past ! Legend
Let the bigg fella lead the team out at the final ..
Respect to the 2 hammers fans holding the Fort to protect the families
Give the name of the heroes who protected the kids and families. Hope West ham give them free tickets they deserve it.
In London, 300 AZ fans on the VIP were heavily threatened at the 0-1.
Women and children of, among others, Janssen family (trainer) and Eenhoorn family (director AZ) and even Marco Borsato ( Dutch singer) had to leave very quickly, were brought to safety by the police. Some have been beaten.
Now there were 200 invited WHU fans between the families of AZ, then an English hooligan flag was shown. And some drunk WHU fans had some provocative behavior.
That was the reason, the rest is history, but that AZ supporters attacked family members is absolute nonsense! I was in this stand.
Again I don't talk it well, but when this happend at Ajax or Feyenoord supporters wouldn't have taken this either. Only much worse
Oh if it was The British kicking of, that would be a different story….thank God for Brexit
It's just not Cricket….. literally.
Shame on the dutch!! And i am dutch i know what I’m talking about
AZ Alkmaar 🤣
That big guy wasn't Knollsy. Knollsy was on the other stairway
Little Englander Upset
Quite right thank you to those protecting Families, Love one's etc. Big Love to the guys holdiing the apples, you did good. Again Respect
Nothing will happen to Alkmaar over this. They won't receive the ban they so rightly deserve. For the police to allow these animals in ski-masks a five to ten minute head-start on a vulnerable element of West Ham support is a disgrace. However France has received no ban for the Parisian police assaulting Liverpool fans a year ago. On both occasions the instict of the local Police is to lie since they believe UEFA will see it as an appealing narrative to go with that the Brits are the problem. In Alkmaar the police stated they responded imediately which is clearly false. One might wonder if they are aware of social media and camera phones. Due to the power of modern devices and media the lies of the 70's and 80's can never be repeated.
THE FLYING DUTCH MAN, comes to whole new meaning 😂😂😂, respect to knollsy and his buddy, done the business when it was needed….makes Alkmaar Ultras look like pussies that they are……knollsy was in Bud Spencer modus..👊💪
Respect to the MAN
The host remarked he felt sorry for the Dutch Ultras being on the receiving end. Really????
This is an outrage….. how dare they attack the peaceful, passive West Ham fans…. I literally can’t think of a single incident of violence that’s ever been caused by the wonderful, gentle ICF
Hahahaha az alkmar fans suck, only south america, real ultras
Proud to be British with men like him
Where they not seen by police, and other minders..this was planned letting all them young inexperienced kids loose. .the Dutch football club should be charged…and banned for a year…stupid idiots. The English are angry enough without this.
Who was the huge guy with green t shirt fighting them all off. It wasnt Knowsley
Well done from Bradford City
Knollsey deserves an MBE on the next honors list…. did a hell of a lot more to deserve it than some you see getting it
Oh, so it's not British football fans who do this????? Who'd have thought?! In this country, which is berated at every turn for its appalling record on all sorts of behaviours, we have made gigantic strides in terms of our conduct, where other countries have yet to catch up.
We are supposed to be the worst football fans, but now we see we are streets ahead of all others. We are supposed to be racist and xenophobic, but again, we are streets ahead of all others.
It is precisely because we are the most advanced and civilised country in the world, that people are risking their lives to get a foot onto our shores……..think about it – would you jump in a rubber boat to get into the Congo, Nigeria, China or Colombia? No, you wouldn't, because they are sh*t-holes.
In spite of what the numpty grifters tell you, we are still (just about) the most advanced and civilised nation on earth. It won't last for long though, because there are loads more peasants due to arrive…….
Celtic fan, Police at fault here, anytime Celtic fans go abroad there is no shortage of baton happy Police, but those proper men who stood their ground have to be recognised in some way by the club for their unselfish acts of bravery, I tip my hat to them.
English fans get heavy handed policing, foreign fans get the red carpet rolled out for them. We have become so soft as a country thanks to the snowflake mps and leftie morons, we have become easy targets abroad
I'm looking forward to the songs in the terraces about Knollsy the battle axe. Good on you chap.
Just shows you the power of having the high ground in any sort of violence! Brave guy. Wish I had been there to give the bloke a hand! Assholes all need jailed and 100% banned from ever entering a football stadium again!
Respect to Knollsy for standing tall and firm against the hordes stopping the idiots trying to get at the West ham family and friends is a disgrace it takes a 58 year man to stop them Old school Gentlemen 🙏🤝 Total respect from a Leeds United supporter ✊👊
Tony who never heard of him
Well done Knollsey
UEFA will do nothing. They only prosecute English fans.
EU police are useless
