Thing is that a lot of people have it wrong about all skins are racist thugs. Yeah there were some knuckle draggers, loads weren't. For instance we had 3 black lads, all skins, knocking about with us.
Apparently skins and mods are pretty much the same thing these days. They're called scooter boys now. Weird.
Did indulge myself with a pair of cherry red 1460s in my teenage years in the 70s ... had a black pair too ... school uniform
I think a lot of them were sexually confused tbh. Being openly gay was not a thing in the early 80’s bro. I was a really good looking young thing back then, and my mere existence used to induce some genuinely vicious aggression from sexually repressed skins. Was weird thinking back tbh.
Everyone chatting about Tyson and Ali, you all forgot about Frasier, weren't he the first to put Ali down? Then you had Rumble in the Jungle, Foreman.
I used to love my Dr Martens (Cherry), I didn't have much money back in them days, but I always had a pair, so I know from that they couldn't have been expensive.
