History
The first organized group of Dinamo supporters appeared in the year 1986. Modeled on similar groups, a few biggest supporters founded the supportinggroup ''Bad Blue Boys''. Thegroupname was inspired by the movie ''Bad Boys'' with Sean Penn in the lead role.
The BBB began establishing subsidiaries in Zagreband at the games appeared banners from various parts of the city – BBB Maksimir, Travno BBB, BBBDugave. In thebeginning, thefans themselves organized trips to away matches in the former Yugoslavia (Belgrade, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Nis, Skopje, Split).They traveled through the former Yugoslavia and represented Dinamo, Zagreb and Croatia. Sometimes they clashed with other fans just to prove the love they felt for their club. Dinamo was then and still is - sacred.
The first Fan Club Bad Blue Boys was created in the 1990 and many wanted to participate in its work. In this part of history, fans were faced with numerous problems.
Fellowship of supporters grew and reached a peak on the 13th May 1990. On that day Dinamo and Crvena Zvezda supposed to play the match at the Maksimir stadium. The visiting fans, so-called "Delije", began to challenge Dinamo fans before the match. When the Belgrade hooligans broke through a fence on the south standings and went toward the small group of Dinamo fans, the North stand, where Bad Blue Boys were, gone wild. In just few seconds Dinamo fans entered the field and the chaos began. The police have followed the instructions of their superiors and started a conflict with the supporters of Dinamo. Many fans were arrested and beaten but the former Dinamo captain, Zvonimir Boban, stood up for Dinamo fans. Many consider that his legendary jump on one of the policemen was the beginning of the Homeland War.
During the war, many supporters of Dinamo defended Croatia. Along with fans of other Croatian clubs, Bad Blue Boys passed the battlefields from Vukovar to Prevlaka. Many of them never returned to the Maksimir stadium. In honour and glory of killed Dinamo fans below the western stands is raised a monument - an altar to Croatian soldiers who were Dinamo supporters. Bad Blue Boys were Dinamo 12th player not only at the Maksimir stadium but the stadium stands across the whole Europe. In that sense, they stayed the part of the Dinamo ‘’legends’’.
