"The stories that I heard from various football hooligans have been told and retold, getting ever more heroic with every retelling. If you understand how little feeling they have for the moral implications of what they have done, then cross reference that with the way that the Greeks fought, you find a very compelling parallel. It's a modern mythology... It's about how history is made. It's all in the power of storytelling so as to convince... I view them as abstract history paintings." (K. Coventry, in 'Hirst, Fairhurst, Hume, Coventry, Quinn', London 1999, p. 14.)
