The word "hooligan" is believed to have originated in the late 19th century in London, England. It is thought to derive either from the Irish surname "Houlihan" or from a London street gang known as the "Hooligan Boys." The term eventually came to refer to a person who engages in rowdy, unruly, or violent behavior.
The word hooligan has been used since at least the mid 1890s, when it was used to describe the name of a street gang in London, at approximately the same time as Manchester's street gangs, known as the Scuttlers were gaining notoriety. The first use of the term is unknown, but the word first appeared in print in London police-court reports in 1894 referring to the name of a gang of youths in the Lambeth area of London - the Hooligan Boys.
In modern days (and i see the question is under the topic of soccer), hooligan, is a fan of a sports club, that takes parts in fights/riots, that's from the point of general public.

The standard collective noun for 'hoodlums' is a gang of hoodlums.
I highly doubt it. "Hooligans" usually work on their own. The definition of hooligan is young vandal or criminal.
