Hopkins was a member of the ultra-violent team that Ron Saunders put together when he was manager at the Sty. There was a name for five of that team who liked to go around town, looking for Villa fans and the occasional pinch-up, but I can't remember what it was.

Word was that Ron brought in Des Bremner for his obvious qualities as a player, but also as a calming influence on the head-cases.
