Favorite boots

[NMH]

I have a pair of Diadora, and they fit like a Trojan over my huge erec.... sorry, they fit nice, is what I am trying to say.

Mine were a pair og 'Billy's Boots'.

Handed down by a brother or 2 before me and undoubtable at least 2nd hand before that.

They were dirty brown, protected the ankles and half way up the leg, laces a mile long and great bulbous toe ends, the only bits that would shine if polished.

I don't remember how many studs there were as they were nearly always caked in mud. What studs there were were badly worn. Those boots were leathal to anyone within kicking range.

Oh those happy school days where you'd take the boots out ready to put on. They'd stink of damp and, caked in mud, would have the flexability on concrete.

Don't make 'em like that anymore, eh, Jimmy Grimbell?

In about 1970 a old boy who trained us refused to take training unless one of our lot put on some ''proper boots'' as he called them.
I think it was a pair of Alan Balls new ''slippers'' that had pissed him off.

Mettertarsals had yet to be discovered in those days. Those boots were like armour and you needed muscles in yer legs to be able to lift them, let alone run.
