Are you referring to the fashion?

That's a bit below the bel- bell bottoms, pal

Mine was long sleeved too, brown and beige. Barathea's were cool as fuck but I didn't have one, did have a smart budgie jacket though.
Prince of Wales check was my favourite of all, never had a full suit but the pants looked great with brogues.

Forgotten about the Budgie Jacket, never had one though. Can't remember colour of star jumper but I know the stars were different colours.

Did you have a Barathea as well with several buttons on the sleeve?

My star jumper had long sleeves but I couldn't find a photo of one.

Yes and Crombie coat with Red Rose Patch stitched on and a Red hankie in the Barathea Jacket pocket

Yeah mine was same ....plus patchwork jumpers and football jumpers.

At school everyone had barathea blazers with loads of extra silver buttons on sleeves

With Slazenger jumper and extra wide parallels

Few jumpers on show here

Spurs v Man U (spit)

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Everyone had fuck all then, we lived in Collyhurst flats in ‘71 we were poor but most people grafted and nobody had fuck all to nick from their houses. I remember a mate was the first to get a colour telly in 74 for the World cup in Germany, from Radio Rentals. Loved the 70’s but i suppse everyone thinks their youth was the best time to be alive.

Teresa May warned the country that if Corbyn hot in he would take the country back to the seventies, decided I would vote for him. I'd have a full head of hair and would be four stone lighter. The music was the best Motown chartbusters, Slade, Rod and the Faces . Inexpensive clubs In town Cyprus Tavern, Conty, the Swinging sporan. Fantastic bitter for half nothing in great old pubs and City near the top. Don't think their was ever a better time to be young. Mind you my brother's 12 years younger than me and says the same about the eighties

You're right, he's deluded, knows no better.

Great games back then too

Not for me most of the 80's music, 70's all day long, Slade, T Rex, Deep Purple, Led Zep, ELO, Springsteen amongst others then the fantastic New Wave era, Pistols, Jam, Clash, Siouxsie, Buzzcocks, Sham 69 and Hot Gossip dancing their tits off plus loads more, what a decade, Thatcher ballsed it up in 1979 and set the the tempo for the divisive 80's.

Wow, I was only a few weeks old when those were taken, and living nowhere near Manchester! Never been a fan of most 70s music though; 90s Britpop will always be the best to me.

Great photos though, very evocative. It didn’t really look that much different in the 80s from what I remember.
