After reaching the age of 50 last year realised my trainer obsession had to stop and did thin out the collection 99% adidas still probably got 20 pairs of gazelles i just couldnt part with!
After sorting out my warddrobes and loft now realised i also had an obsession with trackie tops as well as trainers!
havent got round to the fila ones yet? Probaby 15 or more of them as well!
Time to thin these out as well as i think 50 is far to old to be wearing these although of course i look much younger! Well ive still got hair!

I have an 18 year old son who will happily take any large file tops off your hands. Those Bjorn Borg ones will do.

Think there is quite a few borg ones some are origanals from the early/ mid 80s think most are medium which realy means small as they were undersized

This. Don't even consider letting that lot go.

Should hold on to these in case the fashions come back round. I still have dungerees from 87 hoping for the day to return.

Macronate

£20 the lot.

And I'll collect.

I was wearing this in 1976 or 1977? I seem to struggle to get it on these days. Don't know why.

If you look carefully, you might see paddy Powell's signature.

If it no longer fits you might as well let it go to a good home @TellyTubby

I know a Museum who would look after it.

You lucky bastard, my fav kit ever. If it was mine, I'd go on hunger strike until it fitted.

I showed this to Steve along with other things but he had no interest.

Don't those originals go for a mint on eBay?

I am 51 and have 2 pairs of Trimm Trab and loads of Adidas trainers from the day. My collection of clobber includes Lacoste jackets and tops,Armani jumpers and jeans and leather jackets including also all the original Aquastcum Jackets and jumpers and shirts along with Fila BJ tops. Never give it it up.

I'll be interested in any Fila/Ellesse tracksuit tops you might have.

Plus if you have any Pringle v-neck jumpers.

I can honestly say that in the 80's and 90's fashion on the terraces was an expensive thing and all the lads spent a fortune. Don't get me wrong it has gone on since then big time but all respect to the lads that kicked the scene off back in the day. They say the scousers through robbing back in the late seventies as always being abroad in tournaments brought us the fashion! Maybe but seeing them in the early eighties they were no way as fashionable as lads from London and the Mancs were a bit miss as well. The best dressed mob that ever came to the Valley in the early eighties was Portsmouth 657. I could go on all day long about this and the shops we used to use. Lovely memories.

Which reminds me.

Drove passed Woolwich barracks they have what looks like the same fencing as the old valley

Your optimism inspires me. I won't, just yet, chuck out my '70s Kickers. (White with red stitching.)

An often told story but I got battered outside Hull in 85-86 (1-1 draw), they jumped me as 'he looks like a Cockney b**stard' for wearing a Green Benetton Jumper, Lisle & Scott roll neck, Electric Blue Lois Cords and Gazelles (red on one foot green on the other to show Northen monkeys I could afford 2 pairs).....so probably deserved it be fair.....still laugh when they loose though
