Sheffield skinheads in the 80s

[alex3659 11]

Does anyone remember Biddy, Nige Lee, Alan Clarke? All from pond street in the late seventies, all dead now. Another one who I seem to remember was Kev Mason or something like that, he was found dead in the river at the wicker or something similar.

used to love seeing skinheads when i was a nipper

I dress somewhere between a mod/original skin and im a lot younger than you, but the films and footage/pics that are available leave an impression on us younger ones like quadraphenia and a book ive just ordered called skins.

 

I have a scooter too, so look around at some of the youth where not all chavs, a lot of the dress sense is back in the shops, just take a look in sakis for example there are fred perry polos and checked button down shirts, Baracuta harringtons, levi sta press and 501s, crombies with the red liner inside and ticket pocket.

 

Also whoever asked if you can still get oxblood polish ive just recieved some Kiwi oxblood parade gloss polish for me 8 hole DM'S from a shop called Coxs shoe care/leather shop in York.

 

And im 25!

Abercrombie coats, brogue and lofer shoes and "sta" press came in during the blurring of lines at the beginning of the Suedehead period...a time often forgot.

 

Any ex Suedeheads out there?

 

Anyone remember the time when the “boot boys” used to spray their “docers” gold or silver depending on which football team you supported? As far as I know this was a Sheffield thing.

 

the coats were "crombie" not abercrombie, i still have mine, red silk inside, they were very expensive then and still are now if you can get your hands on one
