Was that the season it properly kicked off at Aldershot? I remember getting of the train about 2ish turned into the road and it was like a scene out of the Wild West. My mate got took down by an OB dog for no apparent reason on the way to ground, big bite on his lower leg. It seemed funny at the time
Final score was 4-0 or 4-1 to Albion.
I was born in 88 so only have 2 years experience of the 80'sBut you have just named English, Scottish, French, Spanish and several Italian brands. Pretty diverse in my book? As the years have passed you can add countless other brands from around the world and influences from all manner of sports, film and music.
I can't speak for everyone who follows the culture - but for me personally not looking the same as the others has always been the target. Admittedly there are plenty out there who see it as a uniform and will pick up the identikit pieces be it the standard Stone Island knit and obligatory check cap and that is their prerogative. For them it is usually a passing phase and they will move on. Generally anything I purchase I will want to make sure none of my mates have the same if I can help it. Call me a vein ******* but it is a good feeling walking into a pub and having someone say 'that's nice where you pick that up?'
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

That day was mental, on another occasion possibly the next season I was on that infamous train that broke down at Manningtree on the way to Ipswich. We never did make the game the train got trashed fire extinguishers going off all over the shop, the transport police ended up marching us down the track back to a station if memory serves me right.Yep. Was still at school and paying for games with a paper round. That season was a massive eye opener. Aldershot was totally like you say, it kicked off everywhere at Gillingham as well and the train got "met" by Plod at Victoria and Brentford was the game that was in the Argus because Brighton put in two of the four pubs. I got there about half one to police horses and us being penned between the street and turnstile. The turnstile man got renamed "Ploppy the Jailer". Very nearly got trampled by police horses on the way back to the station. Chester on the Costa Coach was like a nunnery in comparison
Was there at same time as you, but recall Puma G Villas and Addidas Munchen as being the trainer of choice.. Didnt have rich enough parents to send me ski-ing tho..
I also didn’t go skiing, wasn’t bothered as I don’t really like snow.

I believe the last cup game made the news, plenty of chair luzzing
I didn’t know you went there too
We did go to Wembley to watch England, imagine 100 Fawcett at Wembley :

Must be the Fawcett way.. Would have loved to have built car engines/go sailing with the C2 kids..!
The academic side was pretty awful.. I remember reading the Argus front page on in summer, and seeing Mr Davis red Datsun at bottom of Beachy Head..
Upon return in September, Tompkison pulled us all in and essentially said 'he was teaching you the wrong syllabus for two years (and nobody noticed..) so you wont be doing O-level English, you'll all do CSE and God help you.. Dismiss..!'
Worked for my Bro the other year at Ashdown's house in Peacehaven.. He said 'it was a very well behaved school really.. ' I said 'only coz we lived in fear of the cane..'
