Seem to be a la mode again amongst the young men. Any of you old buggers kept hold of yours and prepared to give them another airing?

Never a good look.
Matchstick legs and oversized clown shoes.

Never favoured the look myself. Effin' skinheads witht their silly boots and poxy reggae records. Long hair, hipster flairs, tie-die T-shirts and decent rocking rock music, thank you!
Yep.
Albeit my DMs are the really expensive ones, and my jeans weren't quite so tight when I bought them.

I think of that every time the fairy posts on NSC

I don’t have a problem with Bob Marley, but in the ‘70s I was certainly more of your second sentence than your first!

Clown boots for the unfashionable.

Funny, but as a Mod never wore dockers. Started going in '85 and apart from Zefarelli I never saw another mod. When I read NSC it seems like every other poster in their 50s was a mod. As for dockers, my 13 year old daughter has a couple of pairs. I have been trying to find pictures of all the boots piled high outside the North Stand to show her. If anyone has one please post it.

Actually no, that is a caricature of Spitting Image proportions.
You started going in 85 ( to the Albion I guess ) and only saw one mod.
I wasn’t a mod, I like the clothes and music though. I would say posters in their 50s were Mods were probably into the scene in the late 70s and early 80s when there was a Mod revival. I was mid teens then and a few lads at my school were into it.
I’ve definitely seen that photo of the boots outside the North Stand, I think it was for the Arsenal match.

Fair enough - at the time it was the likes of Jimmy Cliff and Desmond ('Me ears are alight') Decker. TBH though, I never warmed to Bob Marley either ... each to his own.

On the subject of style, I posted this a while back.
