YID ARMY
On 4 August 2001 police had to split rival Yid Army and Millwall Bushwackers on Jamaica Road, Bermondsey after what was described as a vicious fight. In October 2003 fights broke out before and after a match with London rivals West Ham United. Fighting broke out at The Cockerel pub, Tottenham High Road which received extensive damage, with fighting breaking out throughout the day.
Yid Army is also a general name given to Tottenham fans. For various reasons (fan base, directors, Alf Garnett, racism) some fans of other clubs started taunting Tottenham fans by calling them Yids which they thought was an insult. While most Tottenham supporters are not Jewish many choose to identify themselves as Yids and the term "Yid Army" derives from the Tottenham fans choosing to embrace their new nickname rather than view it as an insult
