Description:
Since the 1980s FC St. Pauli is the most popular football club in the German left wing, anti-fascist and punk movement. This is not only due to their well-known Skull logo but to the house-squatting scene that many St. Pauli fans were in involved in during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Fans of St. Pauli are also known as "Zecken" (Ticks), this is a name that right-wingers call punks and other people who they accuse of being parasites.
