The fashion in the Boothen was really diverse from when I started going in there, mid seventies. There were rockers, skinheads, greebos, mods, blokes in white butchers coats, NCB jackets, others covered in slip, shirt, tie and jacket types and later punks! Can't remember any new romantics early eighties! 😄 Levi's jacket, nah, had to be Wrangler! 😉 Ox-blood doc's obviously, can't remember how many holes, 15, 17, 24? Took ages to get on and off and the blisters went right up from the back of your ankle to the top of the boot! 🤣 The scowl on our faces wasn't anger it was the pain of following fashion! Your first paragraph sums up a 70's match day to perfection. It was some crazy shit!

Went to see a band the other weekend, and there was a woman there, black, early 50s-ish, wearing a red Harrington and Ben Sherman shirt. She looked unbelievably cool. Pauline Black -The Selecter has this style off to a tee........ This woman was on Pauline's level, which is saying something.

I loved the wrist adorned items as a kid. Had a white Stoke one which I bought as an 8 or 9 year old a from a shop in Warrenpoint ...odd I remember that as was just baffled he had a Stoke one, and I wore it to every game until it cracked to bits and was just a load of lines . Anyone else have one or like to see them back or should they be left in the past with Rise and Shine, Arctic Roll and Rodney Bewes after his multiple deaths ? I actually believed the Rodney Bewes rumour that someone on here put out. Believed he'd been dead for about two years til I saw a newspaper interview with him about how he and James Bolam hadn't spoken for years. When he died for real, I remember thinking it was nice that he'd had a number of bonus years.

I’ve got five Harringtons in a variety of colours. Quite a few folk have struck up a conversation with me along the lines of ‘Is that a proper Harrington? Used to have one….’etc etc p

Me too then I went to see Emo Phillips on stage and in that theatre the next week was a play featuring Rodney Bewes. Was a bit thrown when I saw the poster. I knew Bewes was talented but acting from beyond the grave. Thelma would never allow it
