Apparently, there was also an Olympus sports shop on the corner of Newland Ave and Melbourne Street, opened late 70's.
Runnercare?I'm struggling to remember the names of some of the independent sports shops .!
There was one down HOLDERNESS rs and one in Bransholme shopping centre also !
Allsports on Ferensway was great for Subbuteo stuff !
I want to say White's but I'm not sure. I can picture the place clearly though. He had a rack of shirts where the counter in Planet Coffee is now and they were all odds and sods from previous years for a tenner each. At the same time I got the City shirt I got a white Kansas City Attack shirt made by Bukta and a Norwich kit with green stripes over the shoulder made by Asics.
Given the way 90s shirts have become so collectable, that shop would have been a ****ing goldmine.
The bloke was a nasty racist as well if I recall. When Springbok sports opened down the other end of the Avenue he used to call them "Pakies" and balked at the idea that me and my Dad might shop there. My Dad stopped taking me there after that.
Still got it?
I know someone who is on here sometimes who is Norwich-mental who would pay top dollar.
