You should have popped down Bristol @chi blue, particularly round the pikey City areas.  They all had bad teeth and played banjos as well.

Ron Atkinson who's use of phrases has given us early doors, lollipops and many others used the phrase several times duelling banjos which I had no idea was him referencing Deliverance.

Deliverance was filmed in Leigh Woods, Totterdown and down the Avon Gorge.  In the scene where the hill-billy says "squeal, little piggy, squeal", you can just see the Clifton Suspension Bridge in the background.

Couldn't have been Marks mate, my mrs worked for them over 20 years at their flagship store, and at that time they did not sell a single item that wasn't M&S or St Michael brand, food, drink, clothes the lot.

Got me thinking now where i got the slacks from if it was not M&S

I remember when Barnsley came to the Bridge in the early 80s, they'd brought a surprisingly good number down and it looked as if every 3rd or 4th fan had a NCB donkey jacket on.

What the bloody hell is a headbag or are you talking about a sports bag by Head ? or a headband ? I can say I've never seen anyone wearing them at football or anywhere else apart from John McEnroe.

Head bags were alot more cool and trendy than that sorry effort fella ,got a photo knocking about somewhere of 30+ cfc at Berlin airport after landing day before the poland v England game in poznan 1992 i think it was . 
 

Think it was dickinson who got all the headbags clipped onto another head bag in a long head bag train ,there was 9 headbags on the first train of bags with a 2nd train not far behind

Mate I can't wait to see that photo just to find out what a bloody headbag is. That last paragraph I really don't know what to say it's possibly the most bizarre thing I've ever read on this forum.

One proper hat, a couple of cloth caps and umpteen ties. I went to my first match in 1970 and have no recollection of anybody wearing a tie to a match. I know this was the 60's but nearly everyone is wear a bleedin' tie.

Must have been a cup match/tie.

I clearly remember my old dear saying to me: “ You’re not wearing that new Pringle Jersey to the football, are you ?”

Her tone was incredulous. 
 

I remember one time, my old man slagging off one of my mates for wearing a Yellow Lyle and Scott v neck jersey when we were going to the football.    “ Who are you son, the goalie ?”😀
