Photo Daily | December 17 | Swansea Fans Welcomed by London’s Finest

Posted December 17, 2007 in The Big Picture

This week, Photo Daily will look at a sadly ubiquitous presence around football worldwide — the police. Today, we see the police in London herding the Swansea supporters heading for Victoria Coach Station, after Millwall had beaten the Welsh team 2-0 last March.

    I dont understand why people get so worked up over sports. They need to take their aggression out on gaining muscle in the gym or something.

    Its because they know its not just about making good physique in the gym that helps to built a society..but its the character building..and sports is the necessity to learn basics..to remain together..to be in better mood and moreover to make yourself better..

    Very peaceful photo…. In Russia, football fans beaten by police with batons and kicking. And hit a man when he’s down.
