Who remembers swivel studs? Ankle breakers

I think mine were a pair of Quaser Gary Lineker ones.
Later had a trusty pair of Puma Kings, and some of the early incarnation adidas Predators (oddly, they never made me strike the ball like David Beckham).
Remember when the original Predators, with their prominent rubber fins, were hailed as the future of boots, and then over the years, the rubber bits gradually reduced in size until they looked pretty much the same as any other boots?

Craig Johnston won't mind, sure he made a few quid convincing us otherwise!

Woolworths ones.
And me, my mum worked in Woolworths, she probably got a staff discount.
Think my first pair of trainers also came from Woolworths.

I had a pair of Pocock boots...three stripes so I could pretend I was Hans Haller. Thing was they had no padding so it was great when I got my first proper pair - Slazenger Challenge
Yep.

How soon is now?
First boots, Patrick Keegans with the light blue stripes. Best boots, Puma King with the white topped flappy tongue(ala Nigel Winterburn). Current(but unused fr a few years), Copa Mundial. So comfortable, I just wish I had the knees to appreciate them

I had these bad boys....
I'm staggered to find that they still seem to be selling them, some 25+ years later

This (these). THE football boot for me for years. Class.

Mitre, my 13 year old lad had those when he first went football training aged 4, think they were the only boots I could get in his size.
