No, I've often thought the great man could have had an extended career if he'd only purchased a pair of Pantofola, the unquestionable sultans of the boot making art. No screw ins? Oh dear.

sternlad Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 There used to be a French boot..’.Ours’ which were great leather, kangaroo skin or summat. They were always advertised in Football Monthly, one of my mates at school sent for a pair and rated them very highly as he scuttled off to display his skills on the slopes of....Concorde Park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all there’s no mirror attached to the tongue, is there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still got them in a bag in the garage in case Southgate rings up. It was about 7 years ago that Clive our left back looked across our back four, of which I was part, and asked us all our ages....30 seconds later “ Fizz me,” says Clive, “ you do realise this back four is over 200years old!” Time to hang up the Puma Kings I thought...mind you this was the heady heights of the Downderry Rovers veterans team Downderry near Looe? Have enough players to put out a vets team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sternlad Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Aye, dragged em in from all o’er t’shop. They’re still playing in a Vets league now, but they’re all just turned 35 so to not my cuppa tea any more. Our striker was a black lad from Plymouth called Roger Bonaparte, absolutely shybo hot player, we just used to smack it over the top and he’d run onto ‘em and score. Simples!

Boot abuse is one of the great crimes. Boots brushed, picked, brushed, damped , papered dubbed and polished after every game!! More young men should time caring for their boots and there'd be a lot less stress among young folks. Bit less time on Instaface and what not and a bit more time in a meditative state of cleaning and dubbing and they'd have far better mental health!
