A 24-STONE hooligan has turned his back on the male-dominated world of footie violence to have a SEX CHANGE.

Burly Richard Allen, 36, lived for fighting rival fans at games involving England or his beloved Exeter City, admitting he was a die-hard yob.

But the 6ft 2in brawler has shown aggro the red card, swapping replica shirts for fashionable frocks in his new life as sensible BECCI.

She said: "I had been on a colourful path with anger and got into trouble with the police a few times. I went to football games with Exeter City, Spurs and England and I was a hooligan.

A 24-STONE former football hooligan has turned his back on violence and is having a sex change.

Beefy Richard Allen, 36, used to dish out brutal beatings and brawl with rival fans at England and Exeter City games.

Now he has shed seven stone, ditched football shirts for frocks and changed his name to Becci.

The sex-swap skinhead has C-cup breasts and has grown her shaved hair into a red bob.

An overweight self-confessed football hooligan has swapped sides by having a sex change and becoming a woman.

Twenty four stone Richard Allen, 36, lived for beating up rival fans at England, Spurs and Exeter City games – but four years ago gave himself the hairdryer treatment, changed his ways and started living as Becci.

Maybe we should have a contest to see which coverage is most sensationalistic

...and the "he's" just keep on pouring out of Fleet Street.

I know exactly how Becci feels.

In my youth, I too, was a hooligan. 
Whenever Bobby Fischer lost to Boris Spassky, I would run around angrily, sweeping all the pieces off the boards at the club.
