FC Sankt Pauli is the football club in the red-light district of Hamburg. They have a transvestite chairman and terraces populated by punks, pimps and prostitutes. It is a club run by anarchists, united under the skull and crossbones flag. This is the cliche that has been lazily peddled but it s not the real St Pauli. In Pirates, Punks & Politics author Nick Davidson puts the record straight, intermingling the history of FC St. Pauli and the district it represents, with an account of his own involvement with the club.
