Ha! https://britishculturearchive.co.uk/2018/01/21/97-recently-discovered-images-of-manchester-united-city-fans-during-the-late-1970s/ Yep I’m sure I had a pair of 18 inch bell bottoms, think that’s what they were called.
March 16, 20188 yr Spotted a young Keith Moon having a crafty fag, Alvin Stardust's illegitimate son peddling hotdogs and wooing the birds with his patter (to the chagrin of his fow co-seller), little Jimmy Osmond jumping for joy and an early incarnation of Musical Youth...

March 16, 20188 yr Daft Donald Farah far left on the 10th pic down Cool Cats. He followed City one week and United the next.
March 16, 20188 yr Just had a gander on their Facebook page. There are some belting photos on there The 70s were a lot cooler particularly during the power cuts

Ha! https://britishculturearchive.co.uk/2018/01/21/97-recently-discovered-images-of-manchester-united-city-fans-during-the-late-1970s/ 7th one down made me giggle 5-6 set of legs dangling behind the main photo, lads clinging onto the corrugated fence watching the match for free.
March 16, 20188 yr My favourite outfit then was electric blue parallel pants docs crombie coat big collared shirt .
March 16, 20188 yr Author I think I might have been "normal" in my dress sense at football. Normal jeans, ox-blood Docs, whatever shirt or t-shirt I pulled on and a Wrangler jacket.
March 16, 20188 yr Wearing a silk scarf around your wrist. Happy days! Ha ha got my white silk scarf in the loft with blue writing and red tassles. All the writing is crumpled from wearing it around my wrist. Happy days indeed
March 16, 20188 yr Why are they dressed like shit butchers? I've written it before but............at the infamous Chelsea away, FA cup match in the 70's, Bolton fans were getting a fearful kicking so as a naive yoof, for some safety, i went & stood next to some official looking blokes in long white coats......until I saw that on the back of their coats they had stuff like " Chelsea boot boys / skins " written on them. I moved away sharpish. Cockney wankers always ( wrongly ) claim to have started all the fashion trends, but wearing butcher's coats did start in London & the south, & never really caught on in Bolton.
March 16, 20188 yr Author ^ didn't Millwall wear white Dr's coats and surgical masks at some point? F Troop. One of the first football violence fly-on-the-wall documentaries.
March 17, 20188 yr Sorry to correct you Micky but you are slightly off there. It was one of Millwall's other firms - The Treatment. One of their members is a great mate of mine down here. Salt of the earth bloke and no mistake. Has some amazing photo's from his Treatment days. One which particularly made me smile was they came down an escalator at some Underground station or other to a packed platform which just parted like the the Red Sea did for Moses to let them through. F Troop were a different mob with 'Harry The Dog' claiming to be their leader.

March 17, 20188 yr Bay City Rollers influence wasn't it? Fucking diabolical. Think the bell bottoms were Northern soul inspired.
March 17, 20188 yr Great pics. Like the one with the hot dog seller, aka Swiss Tony, chatting up the three lasses (middle one looks very fit with a very smack-able bottom). Like a scene from a carry on film

March 17, 20188 yr Really? She looks about 14 or 15 to me! Kin el steady on Didn't give it much thought but assumed she was 18 or over. Edited March 17, 20188 yr by madthatter
