James i would like to get hold of a pair of ankle DMS, Great for running in, Better than Trainers i found, The High leg that came into service in the 80s, caused so much damage to lads Achilles, awful boot, I manage to get hold of a pair of American Rocky boots in a US Base PX shop which i had for ages.

For comparison purposes

The differences between NIPB and BCH were that NIPB was basically an extended version of the DMS and had a softer leather shaft than the cardboardy shaft of the BCH.
Also the BCH didn't have a toecap or the low heel section and a had much less rounded toe shape than the DMS/NIPB
Another difference is the grip.The BCH had the new style grip, whereas the NIPB had the standard DMS grip.

Looks like BOL or BOU.

Bolton or Bournemouth,though Bournemouth wouldn't fit if the size of the BO was maintained for the whole name.
Note the Bata shoe shop on the right, orignally Czech made then made in England, we didn't have Bata shoe shops in London. Bata shoe factory was in East Tilbury, Essex.
If they're West Ham supporters it could also be the BOL of Boleyn.

 

We were not that scruffy,plus the Hammers sign would be up somwhere.

If the sprayed Boots were at Selhurst,no wonder the Ground is half deserted!

The 3 with the short strides on - that's 4th June 1974 in Belfast.

I've got a pair of Jaytex ruperts in a similar but smaller check to the ones in that '73 pic - straight leg sta press, 17 inch bottoms.

Sprayed up Martens - popular early 70s footy attire when ye boots were no longer fashionable - spray them silver, have a scrap, all the paint falls off, spray them gold for next week - great.

Were these anything like the Ruperts you had,Roy?I have tried to get my Brain into gear-nothing!

No Colin, Ours was light pastel colour, The Lad in the pic looks like he is wearing those Madras colourful golfing trousers, Never saw anyone dress like that in 73 London, I wonder if he was a away supporter from up North, ,
