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

[PPT]

Stolen from Ivor shop in the underground market there for years

Near Justin’s and oasis

Wow that takes me back! We used to get the bus straight from school to buy Brutus penny round collared shirts and star jumpers. Then off to Bata Shoes to get a pair of loafers with tassels. Kids today haven’t got a clue!

Anything I wasn't bothered about being bloodied.

Lets be honest, we were a scruffy bunch even if we did go to Ivors etc, but it didn't matter we always stuck together, but I do miss my Doc Martins from the 70s.

That was a few years ago now mate but I think it was just called Casuals.

Cheers mate, I knew they were known by a common name and that rings a bell.

Yes very mate, I remember a few Lilac coloured ones too, not sure I’d have gone to a match in one back then, certainly not against the scousers with their Stanley knives.

Anyone remember Jean Machine in the Arndale. A shop that sold jeans,cords and shirts all with the FU's brand. Very fashionable in the early 80's . The scousers used to come down and buy it but would always ask for their gear to be put in a plain carrier bag because as soon as they got back to Lime Street they were getting mugged as the gear was so highly sought-after.
Don't believe any rag propoganda that they were the cool ones during the casual era. City had the smart firm while the rags just wore rags.

Stolen from Ivor. One wash and they're gone. Yes, we were tramps.

I’ve had this a long while, and it still fits:

It is amazing how much an old cardy will stretch.

Is that a banana in Weller's pocket or is he just pleased to see someone?
