Looks like Bob Geldof, maybe his Silicon Chip made him steam in.

Wish i could have afforded £300 for an outfit in 1985!

I've never spent that much on clothes to this day.  

Surely the giveaway is the fact these "Hooligans" wear rectangle shades?

Where the Pringle Jumper,Lois Jeans or thick cords & white nike trainers, we all use  to wear then .

Used to own a couple of Pringle jumpers, these days they are silly money. Yeah proper clobber oldschoolcfc we used to look the business!

Hang on... £300 outfits.. Scousers... *confused

Funny how the scousers and mancs blag how they were the forefront of the fashion in the late seventies and eighties, everytime we played them at home and away you could spot them a mile away. And even then if one of them happened to have the clobber on it did not look right. With other London clubs though you sometimes did not know who was who.

You could put one of them lot in the most expensive gear and they would still look scruffy.

I wish I had 300 notes to spend on clobber today, let alone nearly 30 years ago.

Thought the adidas zx500s were' must wear shoes' for the 84/85 casual/hooligan...

old school: You forgot to mention the Sergio Tacchini polo shirt...

The truth is you couldn't spot a hooligan in 1985. It is a complete myth as if you wanted trouble you got it, if you didn't you never got it unless you were in the middle/tea bar of the Shed when we played West Ham.

The casual dress was the green bomber type jacket, jeans and trainers with a small pin Chelsea badge on the jacket lapel.

Great days, passion far greater than these days ...

There were a couple of Webbys one is a contributor to this site

wHOEVER AND WHEREVER he is....(he wont remember me . i wasnt a pal of his)  but in the 70s it went off at earls court , on a train that had pulled in with our friends the spuds....Everyone was there  including Babs...The reason i remembered this webbie now, is that someone shouted out WEBBIES DOWN....A lump from a spud fist....I pulled him off the train as the doors were closing.....Pint owed i think ....He came to mind as i sifted through sporadic thoughts that invaded a nostalgia trip down memory lane
