Hooligans: one of the most controversial games ever released

Apparently, Hooligans is one of the most controversial games ever made. I say apparently simply because I've never played Hooligans back then. A few weeks ago I spent half an hour playing the tutorial mission and I have to admit that I felt uncomfortable walking around thrashing benches and beating innocent people. Maybe that's because, despite being Italian, I'm not really interested in football; probably that's because I really dislike any kind of bully, violent sports fanatics included.
