[Football] Casuals: The story of the Legendary Terrace Fashion.

[Harmyar]

They clearly don’t understand the causal scene and what it represented.

Clearly

 

[Harmyar]

Most normal, decent, people do not see 'being intimidating' as a positve character trait.
The need to indimidate others, and taking pleasure in doing so, is a sign of deep rooted insecurity and a weakness.

Hard as that is for some to understand.

I did intimate that it was, I merely made an observation.

 

[Chicken Run]

Electric Blue Lois cords, Australian or Cerruti 1881 tracksuit tops and Diadora were the peak.

Use to wear yellow version with a pair of Adidas Forrest Hills [emoji2956]

Farah pants & Pringle jumpers on display here, not to mention some absolute dire haircuts...
Is this the Goldstone ?

Embarrassing.

 

[Chicken Run]

Another trainer that was popular at Fawcett was the Adidas Addicolor where you coloured the stripes with addi pens.

The favourite colours of the time were the Rasta sweatband colours

Yes it’s the Goldstone v Sheffield United, that’s the Sheffield United fans to the right, there are a few photos online from that day.

Farah “ pants “ you’re not in America now.

Yeah remember that game
Around that time didn't the last home game usually end up handbags on the pitch with the opposition

Now it’s fancy dress

Do you remember the last game at home to Bristol Rovers, promotion season? Good game think we won 2-0. One memory from that was a Bristol Rovers fan trying to fight everyone outside the Northstand on his todd. I actually felt sorry for him.

Most of the lads in that photo wore pants as they were from oop north.

I was minding my own business just before that moment, deep under the illusion that I was Peter Ward about to score a penalty in front of the north. My poor hapless mate was in goal. My fantasy was rudely interrupted as we were suddenly surrounded by northern oiks.

A moment later, I was standing by the West stand watching our fans counter charge. Quite a few United got a pasting that day as once their charge petered out, Brighton realised they had greater numbers and chased them back. I recall watching a 'friend' running after them with a corner flag in his hand.

I hated the aggro and hate it still. Idiots like that almost ruined football for a large part of my best years.

Tell you one thing , looking trendy didn't make me any harder , the very football weekend I decided to smarten myself up I got duffed up in Swansea !

That'll learn me .

And then the late 80s saw a kind of spin off into "baggy" with a lot of football lads getting into The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and more Balearic stuff. Flowered Up did an absolutely mental gig at The Zap that was full of Brighton.

This is Boys Own / Farley and Heller's Terry Farley back in the day. Massively influential in fanzine culture and house / soul.

I had that Tacchini top. I was only thinking about it the other day. I miss it.

I usually look for clothes in sales, there is a Twitter account called Man Savings, they put up links to many clothing and trainer sites, some very good bargains if you are quick.

Have you tried Get the Lable.com

Most of its crap but usually find something that’s ok[/QUOTE]

That’s me love a sale bargain, couple of years ago I went to the sales in Oxford street after crimble and picked up a beauty Belstaff jacket for £130 I was chuffed I tell you. The sales assistant said we might of made a mistake here think the retail was around £600

Precisely. And odd that those called scum by Thatcher still voted Thatcher. Or their dads did, anyway. But times have changed. Which is why the likes of Das Reich don't attend matches any more. Apparently.

However, I have no problem with men arranging to meet discretely, via the internet, in a field somewhere, in order to have sweaty mantime. I saw a video once. It isn't my sort of thing, but for those who like it, I salute you.

None of this has got anything to do with clothes and shoes, I hasten to add. I'm a big fan of clothes and shoes. And hats.

Highly likely I was around for that one Don’t think I missed many if any at home and did a fair few away days I’m pretty sure
Just peeked I think you re correct 88 V Brizzle
The Blunts was either 85 or 87 both games early May so likely last home game

Nelson and Bremner that day, glorious sunshine and down the Savannah that night [emoji1303] Happy days.

Thatcher's selfishness appealed to the selfish. It mattered not to football hooligans, who are largely not known for their empathy, that she detested football. Harry Enfield (who is supposedly a northstander himself) captured it well with his loadsamoney character.

And like you, hooligan fighting hooligan is seemingly not a problem. But hitting innocent people or scaring women and children or anyone for that matter. Nah, in my book they are all cowards (I am not talking about fighting in self-defence).

Don't recall the year but definitely last home game as we invaded the pitch to celebrate as was the tradition. That led to the brouahah.

Ah yes a trademark header by Bremner In front of a rammed Northstand proper football.

Same season I remember away at Chester Albion fans everywhere in the town good days gone by. I believe we were waiting on another result that day to go our way and the news trickled through by the time most arrived at Victoria great scenes.

Cracking strike partnership, Nelson 32 and Bremner 20 that season if I recall.

Think the other result involved Walsall and Sunderland. I was at Chester - Brighton all crammed into the covered bit next to their fans leaving the terrace behind the goal empty. Went by coach and there were loads at Toddington when that result came through there was a big cheer and then we all had a game of football in the half empty lorry park.

My first season going away, I'd managed to just about find the train fare for Gillingham, Aldershot and Brentford but cash said it was the Costa Express for Chester.

Absolutely, probably one my favourite times of being an Albion fan made some really good friends, our group of about twenty was a mix of sane and the insane all good fun. Train bunking to away games was the norm all you used to get was a note of Harry clipper the ticket inspector
