How do I find this article?

I read an article about bizarre football (soccer) fan behavoir in a magazine a while ago and I'd like to find it again, but my googling is failing me.

The only story I can remember is about a father and son. The father's dying wish (or maybe it was in his will) was that his son would take an urn with his ashes to all the matches. I believe they were fans of a Spanish club, but I can't remember which. Real Betis, maybe? I think it was in The Atlantic Monthly or Harper's. Thanks for helping!

I don't know what article you are looking for, but Among The Thugs is a great read about soccer hooligans.

It seems that particular story is recounted on numerous websites including this one.
