I had bright red Puma kings

Then had silver mercurials when I played for Varndean college (the cheap £30 Nike version, not the full price £120ish mercurial vapours). Think the price diff was because they were heavier. I didn't mind because I never had pace anyway.

I really miss those bad boys tbf

As an adult, I'm size 13 now so choices are absolutely limited. Got some Adidas ones with orange stripes. Literally the only size 13 ones from sports direct

No - definitely not Diadora...they were always too expensive
After a bit of digging around, Im pretty sure they were Hi-Tecs, similar to these, with laces long enough to wrap around the boot two or three times!

Mostly Patrick Kevin Keegan (and Puma Dietrich Weise in our snowy pre-season). It didn't help, I was only quite good at running ...

I always had hand me downs and the name sondico rings a bell.

Until secondary school when I weighed in with a pair of adidas litbaskis. Team up with the phoenix brewery 83 cup finalists shirt I thought I was Frank Worrhington.
