It must have been a Scottish thing....ive gotta be honest ive not heard of them and i always booked myself as reasonably knowledgeable of that era's trotters......are they nylon ?.....running shoes types ?......dont ever remember a running type shoe being the thing back then....of the Adidas back then if it wasnt either Samba,Super Samba,Forest Hills,Trimm Trab,Beckenbaur,Hamburg was it and maybe a few others then you just wasnt the kiddie....certainly not nylons, or maybe the memories fading

Absolutely right........perfect example, id have torn somebodies throat out to own these years ago. Now i dont need them they're ten a penny !!

As the mrs always reminds me.... for garden use only

Theres always been an element of that though mate in my experience most of the chaps who were actually busy at that lark back when it was popular see it for what it was nowadays.....just young lads having a laugh and look back and reminisce about in that way. Whereas chaps who were never around it in the first place now want to talk about it like its the most important thing in the world and always was ! Like many other things it was part of young English lads culture but its gone now.

Oooo not sure about that.....white trotters over the age of 40 is a big no no for me i think the only trainers us older gents can really pull off are the old Super Samba or them dark lightweight ones......i must have 20 pairs of 80's trainers still in the original boxes upstairs.....im not really a hoarder as such just cant bring myself to sling them out

Lois cords....not them sandy colour ones that made your tackle look twice the size it really is ! Bin the Gazelles off they was pony even back then,just cheapo Super Sambas......i was a Forest Hills man myself I love an 80's party all the birds with their big hair and earrings......thats the time to bring the Lois cords out

So you're a skinhead now whether you like it or not .....life has a funny way of compensating eh !

Probably mate yes she knows everything about all those cases.....shes the only bird ive ever known who has a " favourite " serial killer

For the mens 80's clobber keep an eye out for the Mr Bransons chain of shops mate they're opening up all over the place.....some cracking little finds ive bought a few bits and bobs just to hang on the wall

Difference being i havent dressed up like a tennis player for 40 odd years.......by the sound of it you're still bopping about on your little pop pop bikes to this day

No problem mate his name came up in conversation the other week and i just wondered if he's still alive thats all....thanks anyway.

Good little clip that.....its always tickled me how some people think theres something strange about wanting to test yourself and see how far you can push your mind into the pain of physical improvement.....quite a sad reflection of society really to think theres something wrong with developing your health,strength and fitness.....for years i had people ask why and id reply with the same easy answer......because i enjoy it.....it really is that simple.

Thats the place under Waterloo Bridge if im not wrong.....my daughter has a morbid fascination for serial killers so we had a walk round there,bit of a mad ol gaff ! Think it was just her way of trying to get me into the electric chair if im honest

It was important to know your Diadora Borg Elite from a Super Samba back in the 80's mate......again,the Northerners didnt mind getting battered wearing maroon dungarees but us East End lads liked to get battered in style

Theres a reason that the people who hate us most will do anything to live with us. Its a sad state of society when even " science " has been infiltrated.......the one thing you thought you could rely on ffs !
