The paisley scarf worn by the bloke on the right is exactly like the one I nicked from my dad in late 1967





I thought I saw elsewhere (maybe on Gabriela's blog) that this was taken at Kettering.

I had a pair of Petrol Blue Mohair Trousers(similar) to the one on the right.Looking at the shape of his Shoes-they are Solatios.



1970/71 No other info.



You can keep bunging these type of photos-as much as you like Bunty. :)

Welcome Cleav.

Went to the Baseball Ground(before they pulled it down).Liked the atmosphere-even though it was closed.It reminded me of the old Boleyn Ground.


Liked the Strides you were wearing with the Brogues.A sort of "Country Gent" Style.

Thanks. Yeah was a great atmosphere and certainly very like the Boleyn. Best night there for me was Derby v Real Madrid European cup win, my hero Charlie George was on fire.

Lots of these new grounds lack soul, no passion in concrete for me!

Strides were from next, starting to get a little warm for em!

Nice to be here, thanks again.

Agree about the date on that one Brownie, I thought that when I first saw it - V neck, 'any white shirt' , tie and

jeans, it's got to be '68 hasn't it? Bob or Buttons will tell us the month too. :D

There's a picture of M-o-M wearing similar gear, he's at a demo. carrying a placard I think.

Hello Cleav, welcome mate.

Thanks Bunty, nice to be on a Brit thread.

You guys stills sporting Tootal scarves? I got quite a few and wear regularly, particular red pin dot and blue pin dot.


Yellow Tootal scarf. Red Tootal cravat and a god-awful Sammy in paisley.

browniecj - there's your individual in a two-tone suit (second photo) but also a few examples of the suit jacket/different trousers combo I was talking about. A nice spread of covering about 4 years , I would say. (perhaps none from '69?) Where do you find all this stuff Bunty? (and where ever it is, keep 'em coming!)

Yes, it was shared on The Ballroom Bltz with the other pictures Bunty posted. It was taken at the Tin Hat (Kettering, 1971). The rest are also from 1970-1971, I put up some info
