January 26, 20197 yr 1977-1978 was the transition period from Flared jeans to straight legged jeans. The punk influence helped make this welcome change If you still wore Flares in 1978 (and many did) you were considered a bit of a div by the youth of the day. I remember thinking my feet looked massive(size 8's) in straight legged jeans after 7 or 8 years of wearing flares, but once you'd made the change to straight legs there was no going back. Flares never came back in fashion - thank fook, hideous things. Levi 501's or the even skinnier 505's were cool. Edited January 26, 20197 yr by Burndens Bogs
January 26, 20197 yr From having bone head cuts in 69-71, grew me hair for the next six year. Had it cropped short in 77, and never looked back.

Most of my mates were still in flares . The punk influence in fashion and music was most welcome after all the disco years. Going a bit beyond 78 and terrace songs I always enjoyed a wander wander wander wanderers..wanderers ..we're wanderers to boy George and culture clubs Karma Chameleon. I seem to recall it being quite popular... I think it may have morphed into wanderers wanderers wanderers ..wanderers wanderers.. maybe the tune and rhythm was a little too subtle for the Burnden paddock!!!

Absolutely Had the big flares and the wedge shoes from Tommy Balls Ska and Punk hit the scene and I was massively addicted. Suddenly it looked like my size 9's were a pair of flippers on my feet Talib's straight legs and doc marten shoes. Drainpipe trousers and Royals with segs on the heels

January 27, 20197 yr Hard to believe from this dedicated follower of fashion but i had a pair of purple cords and monkey boots.
January 29, 20197 yr Monkey boots were worn by girls while lads opted for docs. Just saying, you girl!
February 1, 20197 yr A proper lap of honour at the end - not a sprog or a flat dick in sight - just the players
February 1, 20197 yr We also had a team that despite being the best in the league, took years to get promoted Lets stop being so rose tinted

We witnessed some wonderful football from 1972 - 1979, we played good stuff - even through rose tinted Ray Bans Edited February 1, 20197 yr by Burndens Bogs
February 1, 20197 yr This lot are shit They should have promted us years before they did They bottled it Defeats at home to Carlisle and York city still hurt me
February 2, 20197 yr 11 hours ago, Casino said: Indeed we did And they bottled it A few times I'd never have put Ian Greaves's Bolton sides in the "Bottlers" category. Fact is there were some good sides in the old 2nd division at the time Wolves,Chelsea,Forest,Sun'lun,WBA etc and we competed with them all the way.
