Baby Squad
The Baby Squad is a football hooligan firm linked to the English Football League team, Leicester City.[1]
History
The Baby Squad have had a number of fights with the Chelsea Headhunters who follow Chelsea[2]. In August 2000, Leicester were listed as the second most violent football club in England and Wales.[3] In November 2001, the Baby Squad fought with hooligans from Luton Town at Leicester railway station before police split up the two groups.[1]
In February 2008, eleven men were arrested after up to 100 hooligans were involved in running battles between fans from Leicester City and Coventry City outside a pub in Coventry. Police confiscated knives and one man suffered minor head injuries.[4]
The week before the incident with Coventry fans, 13 men were arrested after clashes between fans from Leicester and Norwich in which some men sustained minor injuries.[5]
