| THE HISTORY OF BAD BLUE BOYSA |
 The first organized group of blue fans appeared in 1986.throughout Dinamo have been followed by the “army” of supporters throughout their history. A few most faithful and most eager Dinamo fans established the group “Bad Blue Boys” after the model of similar fan groups from abroad. According to the legend, this name was incited by the film “Bad Blue Boys” with Sean Penn in the main role.
The BBB branches started appearing in all parts of
Zagreb so different banners were seen at the stadium (BBB Maximir, BBB Travno, BBB Dugave etc.). At the beginning, the fans organized departures to visiting matches themselves. They were remembered in
Belgrade,
Sarajevo,
Ljubljana, Niš,
Titograd,
Split…They proudly traveled throughout the former country, with their heads up, and with the names of Dinamo,
Zagreb and
Croatia on their lips. Very often it was unavoidable to get into fighting in order to support and show loyalty to the club. They didn’t bother. Dinamo was and is their sacred thing.
 At the beginning of 90-ies, the first fan club “Bad Blue Boys” was founded. It had aroused a great interest, everybody wanted to give his contribution, but in spite of all that enthusiasm, the fans faced numerous problems. Regardless to all the troubles the bonds among the fans were getting stronger and reached its peak on
13th May 1990. That was the day when Maximir stadium hosted Crvena Zvezda from
Belgrade. The visiting fans, so called “Delije” had started provoking before the match started. When
Belgrade hooligans broke the fence at southern standing and started the fight with a group of Dinamo’s fans, the northern stand with Bad Blue Boys went mad. The security fence was demolished in a second and BBB set in motion towards south. The police forces blindly followed the commands of their superiors and fought fiercely against BBB. Many were arrested, beaten up and “marked”.
 Zvone Boban, the captain of Dinamo tried to defend Dinamo’s fans. His legendary jump on to the policeman marked the beginning of the fall of one state. The majority of BBB, thinks that the war in
Croatia started on
13th May 1990 – by the match between Dinamo and Crvena Zvezda that had never been played. During the war, a lot of Dinamo’s fans were also the soldiers of Croatian army in the war where they were defending their home land. They were either in police forces, ZNG or HOS, and together with the fans of other Croatian clubs they fought on the battle fields from Prevlaka to Vukovar. Many of them had never returned home. The monument –shrine to the
Croatia Knights – was built in honor and glory to all those who died with blue color in their hearts, below the west stand of Maximir. Generations of BBB have passed through Maximir stands but they remained the twelfth player of Dinamo. They have become the unavoidable part of “the Dinamo legend”.
