Smart as ... proper days , still wear the Fred Perry, Adidas Fila to this day at 58 ,its a way of life , see lads my age with the same gear and its mutual respect of great times.,knowing what its all about ....proper music too....be Casual
Same here mate ,obviously I've toned down a bit from my yellow Sergio and Green BJ Fila tracksuit and slitting my lois cords over my diadora gold or adidas gazells 😅😅
I feel so sorry for the youth of today. Tied to their phones, social media. The days of Pringle pullovers, Gazelles, Lois jeans, the ordinary, chasing, getting chased, the conflict, the aftermath, the laughs on the way back, getting to work and then planning the next sortie. Take me back please. I hate being 55.
Those were the days!!! We Used to go to Arsenal..!! My best buddy used to wear Full Tacchini Tennis Outfit in the Clock end.!! Eie. Shorts, socks,The lot.!!
It was absolutely brilliant for 10 years for me. Home and abroad 🙃💯👍. 58 now, no hair, no teeth, I wear glasses and my knees are knackered, but have great memories from back then. 💯👍
I was in my element in the 80s casual dress code ,zx 800, farah trousers, hoodie leather jacket, Boss , Op , Gazelle, Reebok GL , Questar , Pringle , Kickers then came CP and Stone Island , and still loving it all now . Brilliant times ❤
@@cubecubesson6779 ye I suppose so I did think of that as I was in Ibiza 88 when that started but it’s not quite the same as skins punk etc. It’s a fair point tho
Wish it were the 80s pay on the door new wave music and fashion, slim birds and maybe have a runabout with other firms. I love my country and people so much.🇬🇧
Bit of a nostalgia overload , so many memories , even glimpsing a Gallini sweater , it was OUR time , started late 70’s Sta press & Fred Perry as a skinhead then mod and the natural progression into what is known as casual , hi tec basketball boots Lyle & Scott roll necks Lois jeans patch jackets , wine bars , beach parties in pubs , we really had a life lived , approaching my 60’s now and never regretted a thing and wish I could live it again , we were the boys
Loved the casual scene. Just a great era dressing up looking the businesses, ready for the football and the adventures that came with it. Sums up my youth.
Absolutely fantastic montage of photos and music which defined an era of incredible memories..wouldn't change it for the world..trendies, dressers casuals what ever you want to call it The most underrated sub culture ever 💙😘
I enjoyed the raw fun and spontaneous madness of the 80's casual scene immensely. It was crude, the catering was shocking, we often had to piss up against darkened crumbling walls, we all got whacked somewhere along the journey but you know what.......there's never been a better time to grow up as a football lad👍 Respect to all the lads and lasses on this vid. RIP to all those that are no longer with us❤
Best memory of my life. Even better when i seen myself on that video. Skinny with hair , now 55 and opposite. Shame drug scene came along it was fun at start but wow that changed alot of hooligans, But reality seeing who was in my photo a few had the fashion but didnt stay in the scene longer than a season,
This was my era & what an era it was. I still dress like this today got an old skool original Burberry jkt in my wardrobe & turn the collar up from time to time just to relive the good old 80's terrace days..😉
Searching the length and breadth of Britain for the clothes, appearing in the pub with the latest gear, proud as fuck, then wearing your latest, best threads on the terraces on a saturday before hitting the bars and clubs (sometimes with a black eye or two, or even worse, a pulled jumper, ffs we'd rather have lost a tooth!) Smelling of Kouros or Paco Robanne, refusing to hand over the Burberry or Aquascutum scarf at the cloakroom cos we knew some sly Scouse type would blag it, then into the club for a night of soul/funk and stories of the day's events on the terraces and stations. Getting laid was something else, made us feel 20 feet tall, don't deny it! Loved those days, what a time to be 18+, what a time to be a football fan, what a time to be into fashion, what a time to be into women, into music, into life!
The last great youth subculture. Even now at 58 I see a lot of lads wearing the clothes etc and you always get a likeminded nod. It’s was and still is a way of life.
Great pictures and music loved the 80s and the fashion you could still have a scrap and get to go home at the end of the night definitely think I was lucky to of grown up in these times.KRO
When football belonged to the people, the real fans. Like it or not, violent or non-violent people, these are the real faces/fans of our beautiful game. Would of been nice to see what clubs these casuals were for each pic? Respect to all! From a cardiff fan.
Thanks Paul , I kept off the rucking theme .. and have gone specifically for the colours of clobber and the comradeship that went with the scene . Those were the days mate for sure ..
Hello Peter, I agree m8, I'm 58 now, leave all this rucking to the youth now, but to this day I still love wearing all the gear, ye great day's m8 will never be forgotten
You had to pay up to look sharp back in the day, My four brothers had it all , I'm so happy being the youngest, I had all the 80s to witness hard but great times.Thanks Mum. Kids now have there heads in phones now and missing so much.
Colin I'm still happily in the casual time warp .. how good was it .. hasn't been beaten since .. the country just got taken by storm .. the best days👍
Those were the days ! Some cracking pics in there mate, best collection i've seen by a mile. They were proper dressers before the Stone Island 'clones' appeared on the scene
The greatest days , I am lucky enough to still go to the game with some of my 80s casual mates . Proper mates having days out across the country and re telling stories afterwards ❤
Great photos and great times . Been following Wrexham for 50 years home and away . Got married had kids and grandkids but still remember great days with my mates
Agree with ya Lee...Feel lucky to have been there in the 80's compared to these days...Great weekend's away...the fashion..the music..the pubs/clubs....the squeaky bum time away from home where the policing was alot less organized to what it is now....where madness ruled....GREAT TIMES 80's...
Some god pics showing camaraderie That’s what it was all about in the 80s Every town /city had the same set of lads loved Saturdays loved the clothes loved the violence
Never really used the word casual. Trendy at first then moved on to Dresser from about 85 just my personal view as it was different up and down the country. Been dressing since 1983 when I got my first Pringle, bleached my own jeans and got a pair of Nike court supreme , Pringle was out my mom’s catalogue and was £25 , she must have been paying it off for ages , God bless her. Still dressing at 53 and I’m lucky enough not to be bald and fat so still carry it off 🙂 obviously no tracksuits , Moncler , Belstaff,, Ralph , Armani , 6876 , P&S , Cp but no goggles , Lacoste , Aquascutum, Burberry my favourites. Can’t see myself ever stopping. Great photos and top tunes. Those were there days …….
Yes I think Casuals was definately more of a southern term .. I was a mercenary with several London clubs back then , so was lucky enough to see who was wearing what , my monitoring including Blues .. so saw action against Villa a few times .. you had a lot of good dressers .. yes a yellow pringle and bleached jeans is where it started for me .. take care 👍
@@petervokes1364 Sky blue for me . Villa were the first in the Midlands imo. Great time to live especially when the rave scene came along . Proud to be a part of it all. Take it easy mate 🏴
Leeds here mate. Similar to you, first piece of proper clobber was a diamond Pringle in 82 I think. My family were poor as church mice but my Mum got it from someone she knew from church who was in a golf club. I'd been pestering her for it for ages and like you say it must've crippled her to buy me it but that's what they did for you isn't it. After that she let me use a school grant she got for me so that I could buy a Tachinni track suit at £125! My Dad was on £25 a week dole money! They were fantastic time back then though, wearing the clobber, searching for what gear was gonna be the next in-thing, a different adventure every weekend and away games up and down the country. Fear and excitement and just a massive buzz with trouble almost guaranteed every weekend. I was at Brum in 85 what a crazy day that was. Wolves a few times too. Never made it to Villa though. WM Police were twats as you probably know!
@@justmehere3411 Thatchers years were hard and poor times, you were the odd one out at our school if you didn’t have a dinner ticket. Your mom sounds just like mine was, we never had a lot but what we had meant our parents went without. I remember we all used to swap clothes. Track tops would really do the rounds. I saw a Fila bj mk2 go around about 7 different owners once. Remember swapping a Lacoste polo which I had swapped for a kappa roll neck for an old pair of red Munchen that were a size too big for me :) Too easy to dress now, hardly any individuality , all you need is your phone. Like you say you had to search for clobber back then. I loved that part, travelling around for something different. Went to yours a couple of times in 87/88, league and cup. I remember you bringing a very big mob to Villa park that season, that was a fun day. What a time to be young, brilliant days that will never be repeated and we had the rave scene just around the corner too. Happy days. Take it easy mate.
The days when you went the match and bounced around like a lunatic hugging someone you'd never met before when that 89th minute winner went in. Nowadays the phone and selfie stick gets in the way of that unbridled passion. Following LFC home and away - pure class ⚽️🏆
It was just pure excitement back in 80 s obviously the football scene first ,but then going out to great clubs and music amazing memouries ,all over the place we made it happen and it did .
It would be nice to spread the word and have a catch up at the Stone for old times sake and being it's yet another anaverssery on the horizon early October for the BEAR and others that are no longer with us. Looks like it would be a lot of raising glasses as so many are no longer with us in them pictures. EIE WHORRRRRRR
Absolutely fantastic video of the best time and era ever!!!!!!! Football players were proper all the grounds were proper,going to a match was simple turn up pay a few quid on the turnstiles! Have as much freedom on the standing terrace with your pals either home or away no restrictions what so ever!!!! Plus feel like a million dollars in your casual dressr eady for anything that came your way!!!!!! Then once the mid 90s came all the proper football day experience had died to all seated grounds and money grabbing scu m!!!!!!! I would go back to the 80s in a heart best cos this day and age is just fucking wrong and souless
@@petervokes1364 some nice pictures there mate 👍nice seeing a few of our lot the ICF and few of my pals from the Zulu’s and the herd priceless!! A few of our lot have since passed bj the peerman brothers and a few others same as a good few of my Zulu and arsenal pals 😢thanks again mate and I have rainforest Paul hardcastle on 12”😂
Thats me and my mates on 5.52, late 1983, I've got on a Gold & Blue Sergio Tacchini Ski Coat, Paul has a FILA track top, Sean a Lacoste track top & Rossi a Burberrys suede bomber. Photo taken in Wednesfield, Wolverhampton.
Hi mate , are you lads Wolves ? Reason I ask is I know who most teams are on this vid , but wasn't sure of this pic .. also you look familiar .. did you gobto Spain v ENG in 87 ?
Hi mate , I met a couple of Wolves on the train down to Spain , we got stuck on a broken down train in the snow in Northern Spain .. your clobber looks bang on .. glad I put it in the video , regards Peter
Some great days these where i was with an older firm from the 70's Who was still active in the 80's .There was all these youngsters in smart clothes .And we was still wandering about like we was still in the 70's Vaughany Bill G / Big Ted firm westham
Total respect to you Stevie . I still remember that day when 30 of us got off at newcastle we were well outnumbered but gave a very good account of ourselves Great days good memories
The golden era of terrace clobber, the golden era of Saturday afternoons whether home or away.....and the golden era of the OB trying to keep up as no CCTV those days....LOL...great vid Vokesy.....stay strong mate....
Amazing video that sums up the era perfectly Feelings of happiness watching it But also sadness knowing that these times will never happen again 👊🏻🏴🦁
Leather n suedes people wouldn't know what you're talking about unless they were a Casual back in the day lol Got mine from petty coat Lane £30 alot of money back in 83 lol
Liked the photo around 2 minutes in, lads in a furniture van probably going to an away game. Done it myself in lower leagues trying to sneak in and park up - mini buses were a dead give away and might be trashed or tyres slashed before the game ended.
The early 80s was always Italian sportswear Fila, Diadora, Elesse, Sergio etc with Pringle and Pierre Cardin , Lacoste sweaters then late 80s Best Company, Pop 84, Ball Jeans, Chevignon, Chipie, Marco Polo, Radio, Ton sur ton, El Charro, Lois jeans, Benetton etc before the Stone Island, Cp company, Paul and shark cloned brigade took hold and it was never the same after that
Top line looks good , bottom line okay until it gets to Benetton...after that it goes downhill .....but you forgot the suede patchwork tops that looked ace with Lois Cords and Borg Elite Golds ...good that you give a nod to Ball jeans .
What isn't shown on here is the Stanley knife slashes, the 14 legs all kicking the same head, the guy who needed to learn to read and write again due to being hit with a discarded roof tile on the head, the mob handed thievery from stores, the alcohol misuse, the wanton vandalism. I was part of all that but you know what....I f##king loved it.
Where are they now? Mostly dads or grandads, I believe! Love the tracks and the clothing. Wore argyles and farahs back then with the old 'gazelles' ha!
I had a pair of Adidas Sao Paulo's, Lois jeans, Sergio Tacchini polo shirt and Ellesse track suit top for home games. Away games: Diadora with Levi's, Ivan Lendl Adidas tennis polo, Fila sweater and Fila ski jacket. My absolute king of kings was an Australian tennis polo by Alpina that hardly anybody knew what it was and a Cerruti 1881 track suit top. Back in the day all the gear was properly made in Italy or France or Germany and even Fred Perry was still made in the UK. I wouldn't buy the crap Fila makes in Asia nowadays with somebody else's money and up to about 15 years ago Fred Perry was still using quality cotton and making quality polos that could be bought for thirty or forty quid.
Nicked my dad's Gabbichi cardigan that had brown suede stripes on the front. A year before wouldn't have been seen dead in it & then I'm strutting about in it like I owned the place. 😂😂😂
Had a beauty similar sounding Gabbichi , that was high neck zip up . Nicked it from a local old man's clothes shop in 84 . Unfortunately just a slight bit too small . Sold I'd to a mate after a month or two . Lost touch with the kid till last year . Turned out he still had it . Still looks stunning . Unfortunately miles too small for me now .. otherwise I would have made an offer for it back ..
Smart as ... proper days , still wear the Fred Perry, Adidas Fila to this day at 58 ,its a way of life , see lads my age with the same gear and its mutual respect of great times.,knowing what its all about ....proper music too....be Casual
Same here mate ,obviously I've toned down a bit from my yellow Sergio and Green BJ Fila tracksuit and slitting my lois cords over my diadora gold or adidas gazells 😅😅
I feel so sorry for the youth of today. Tied to their phones, social media.

Take me back please. I hate being 55.
Anthony at least you/we had it mate . Yes I live in a time warp reminiscing about it .. not a bad time warp to be in I reckon 👍
@@petervokes1364 fair point!
I’m 55 that video makes me 17 again the best era of my life bring back the 80/s yes casuals lol🎉😂❤
I’m 18 rocking Sergio tachini etc mate want to keep the casual era alive
Those were the days!!! We Used to go to Arsenal..!! My best buddy used to wear Full Tacchini Tennis Outfit in the Clock end.!! Eie. Shorts, socks,The lot.!!
We are all in our 50s and 60s now how mads that.
At least we can look back and say we had these great days
It was absolutely brilliant for 10 years for me. Home and abroad 🙃💯👍. 58 now, no hair, no teeth, I wear glasses and my knees are knackered, but have great memories from back then. 💯👍

Some decent geae some sad
Last British youth culture in my opinion. Some adventure to be had as a lad back then. Respect to all.
Talking about this the other day,absolutely no youth culture anymore
@@spunkospunko4800 ye finished with the casual an no resurrection of old one either.
Acid house not a culture then?
@@cubecubesson6779 ye I suppose so I did think of that as I was in Ibiza 88 when that started but it’s not quite the same as skins punk etc. It’s a fair point tho
Totally agree
What a time to be alive, you'll never see anything like it ever again.
Brilliant Years James 👍
Wish it were the 80s pay on the door new wave music and fashion, slim birds and maybe have a runabout with other firms.
I love my country and people so much.🇬🇧
Electro music the start of what became Hip hop
Good point slim birds not like today huge asses
Bit of a nostalgia overload , so many memories , even glimpsing a Gallini sweater , it was OUR time , started late 70’s Sta press & Fred Perry as a skinhead then mod and the natural progression into what is known as casual , hi tec basketball boots Lyle & Scott roll necks Lois jeans patch jackets , wine bars , beach parties in pubs , we really had a life lived , approaching my 60’s now and never regretted a thing and wish I could live it again , we were the boys

Great era and the S0S Band to sing along to
Pulled my hair out trying to get the songs right .. I know the last one might seem an odd choice .. but ive always liked it
Yes I always felt Rainforest was a London tune for sure ..

It was crude, the catering was shocking, we often had to piss up against darkened crumbling walls, we all got whacked somewhere along the journey but you know what.......there's never been a better time to grow up as a football lad👍

Shame drug scene came along it was fun at start but wow that changed alot of hooligans, But reality seeing who was in my photo a few had the fashion but didnt stay in the scene longer than a season,
Well said! Eventhough im a woman i was there with the Ajax-hooligans start fighting 1982 at the age of 15. Wow those were the days..! 💥👊😎💥
There's only the police that have ever had access and have had the chance to copy some of these pictures !!!
This was my era & what an era it was. I still dress like this today got an old skool original Burberry jkt in my wardrobe & turn the collar up from time to time just to relive the good old 80's terrace days..😉
Best time ever to be following football. Being on the terraces, home and away, with your mates, the fashion, the sense of belonging. Loved it!
Searching the length and breadth of Britain for the clothes, appearing in the pub with the latest gear, proud as fuck, then wearing your latest, best threads on the terraces on a saturday before hitting the bars and clubs (sometimes with a black eye or two, or even worse, a pulled jumper, ffs we'd rather have lost a tooth!) Smelling of Kouros or Paco Robanne, refusing to hand over the Burberry or Aquascutum scarf at the cloakroom cos we knew some sly Scouse type would blag it, then into the club for a night of soul/funk and stories of the day's events on the terraces and stations.

So many memories flooding back. Love this!

Then once the mid 90s came all the proper football day experience had died to all seated grounds and money grabbing scu m!!!!!!! I would go back to the 80s in a heart best cos this day and age is just fucking wrong and souless
Great Sum Up Daniel . No elaboration from me .. Your spot on 👍

Fukin best times ever 80,s
Proper era, proper lads, proper dress, proper proper proper. Never coming back, it was something that could have only existed at that time, RIP.
i would say 50% of all of these are Pompey, but even then what a superb collection - thank you for putting them all together
Yes a lot of Pompey as they had the camera back in the day , but no more than 20 percent , I made a point of putting in a lot of different firms

Cambridge Casuals a way of life still wear same bit more Mod to had a lovely scooter ,99 to 2004 as well Lambretta British best dressers ever
Liked the photo around 2 minutes in, lads in a furniture van probably going to an away game.
Done it myself in lower leagues trying to sneak in and park up - mini buses were a dead give away and might be trashed or tyres slashed before the game ended.
What memories! Best days of my life! Loved watching this and shocked as fuck to see myself on one of the pics, made my fucking day!!!
UTC
Great times
The early 80s was always Italian sportswear Fila, Diadora, Elesse, Sergio etc with Pringle and Pierre Cardin , Lacoste sweaters then late 80s Best Company, Pop 84, Ball Jeans, Chevignon, Chipie, Marco Polo, Radio, Ton sur ton, El Charro, Lois jeans, Benetton etc before the Stone Island, Cp company, Paul and shark cloned brigade took hold and it was never the same after that
Well said, also gee2 jumpers were cool as fuck
Top line looks good , bottom line okay until it gets to Benetton...after that it goes downhill .....but you forgot the suede patchwork tops that looked ace with Lois Cords and Borg Elite Golds ...good that you give a nod to Ball jeans .
Totally agree loved best company sweats, lois cords and australian trackies
Surely this was the purest fashion ever: no music, just clothes...
What isn't shown on here is the Stanley knife slashes, the 14 legs all kicking the same head, the guy who needed to learn to read and write again due to being hit with a discarded roof tile on the head, the mob handed thievery from stores, the alcohol misuse, the wanton vandalism.
I was part of all that but you know what....I f##king loved it.
Very true
80s casuals good times Ian mid fifties now when football was football and a laugh nufc.
Thanks Fraser 👍
We're still a laugh fraser, remember nme, the gremlins.... When football was football
When it was it what life was all about your mates football the weekend and of course clothes!!!
Spot on Mark
Totally mate couldn’t wait for the fixture list to come out in those days.
Where are they now? Mostly dads or grandads, I believe! Love the tracks and the clothing. Wore argyles and farahs back then with the old 'gazelles' ha!
I often think where is everyone now . We took the country by storm .
@@petervokes1364 And to think these tops and trainers are back in again!
I'm Chelsea FC 57 from Hammersmith ..yep Farah slacks Pringle jumpers and Kicker shoes good old days 😎😎
Paisley pattern shirt , flare denims , blue gazelle, wedge haircut , section red 1985 👊🇬🇧
still have paisley shirts and lois jeans in my wardrobe :)
I had a pair of Adidas Sao Paulo's, Lois jeans, Sergio Tacchini polo shirt and Ellesse track suit top for home games. Away games: Diadora with Levi's, Ivan Lendl Adidas tennis polo, Fila sweater and Fila ski jacket.
My absolute king of kings was an Australian tennis polo by Alpina that hardly anybody knew what it was and a Cerruti 1881 track suit top.
Back in the day all the gear was properly made in Italy or France or Germany and even Fred Perry was still made in the UK.
I wouldn't buy the crap Fila makes in Asia nowadays with somebody else's money and up to about 15 years ago Fred Perry was still using quality cotton and making quality polos that could be bought for thirty or forty quid.
Good to see The Arsenal Boys E.I.E
Yep rossi Winston danny Miller Denton good old days
@@stephenosborne9900 best dressed firm was the Arsenal EIE
Also rackhams, ridgy, clifford haines, pat bones, fuzzy, steve salmon. We were defo the best dressed firm ;)
@@markbee9767 what about Deano
@@stephenosborne9900 loads of others in the arsenal photos from 82-83 but being almost 40 years ago, I've forgotten their names :)
Nicked my dad's Gabbichi cardigan that had brown suede stripes on the front. A year before wouldn't have been seen dead in it & then I'm strutting about in it like I owned the place. 😂😂😂
Had a beauty similar sounding Gabbichi , that was high neck zip up . Nicked it from a local old man's clothes shop in 84 . Unfortunately just a slight bit too small . Sold I'd to a mate after a month or two . Lost touch with the kid till last year . Turned out he still had it . Still looks stunning . Unfortunately miles too small for me now .. otherwise I would have made an offer for it back ..
@@petervokes1364 Mine was a button up. Big brown ones. 😂😂
Awesome …. Should really do a book with the pictures and letting us know who the people are and what team they are affiliated with ⚽️
As lads photos go. it dosnt get much better than this collection.
Cheers Brighton , unfortunately I didn't have any West St pics available when I made this .. but they had some really good dressers back then 👍
awesome !!
