McCourt moved to Hoxton, and was given the nickname Hoxton Tom by West Ham United supporters, at a time when a number of key people involved in football hooliganism from outside West Ham's natural recruiting ground were given tags after the area they came from. He was and still is a Tottenham Hotspur F.C. supporter, but went to West Ham United matches with friends, many of whom were part of the Inter City Firm (ICF), which he became associated with.
