What was the terrace fashion on the Kippax in the 1980s?

[manctheknife]

Were the perry boys just a Manchester thing? Did they have groups of supporters of both mancunian clubs or did they tend to follow one?

The styles and brands of clothes were all over the country, eventually. But in Mcr they were called Perry Boys, and followed both clubs. Other areas had different names before they morphed into one generic name...casuals.

Tacchini, Lyle and Scott, fila, farahs, pringle, adidas, kickers. Hurleys on Piccadilly approach did the lot

United wore denim and denim to go with their mullets and rag scarves round their wrists

Even a weeks wages when 16 wasn't enough to buy a fila t-shirt in the early 80's. I felt the coolest fucker abt when I bought my first Ellesse top.

Do you talk from experience? Stephen Port is probably wanking over you in prison.

The name Perry Boys was more of a media phrase. Lads didn't call themselves Perry's. Anyone who was wearing the latest gear was usually referred to as "Top" or "Smart".
Followers of both City and United were bang into the scene and fans from other towns would often copy what the Mancs were wearing.
