84 - 87 Thread of Pure Love for Them Days.

[BigBlueConk]

Left school in 82, the next 10 years was probably the best I have has so far. Personally speaking i lived life to the max. Footie, beer, women and travelling. Arrrr memories

*drifts off into reminiscing mode*

Just to remind you, me and the old boys coming down your way next May/June for footy Sort it out nearer the time.

I left school in 81 and started having more fun from then on. Really speaking, I prefer the music from the sixties and seventies and some of the clothes make me cringe.
But the football, oh the football.
Apart from the mighty blues, most of my fondest memories and fave all time players are from the 80s. The Brazilian team from 82 with Zico, Socrates, Falcao, Junior and Cerezo. France in the mid 80s with Platini, Giresse and Tigana. The Danish team of the same period with Laudrup, Elkjaer, Morton Olson and Frank Arnesen. Holland 88 and the great Milan team. Maradona, Matthaus, Southall, Schiffo, Stoijcovic, Belanov, Lineker, Reid, Steven, Sharp, Ratcliffe oooohhhhhuuuggoohhhaaaaggghhh
I'm going to change my underpants now.

The 80's are back mate.

Haven't you seen the kids walking around today?

I think it must be different in your neck of the woods.

Yeah, they are little hoodlums most of them. The 80's fashion and music may well return, but the way we acted compared to the kids of today is not comparible. I would'nt mind but kids these days have got everything, i had next to nothing when i was growing up in that era.

Im with the legendary James Martinez.

Prefer the music from the 70s but like loads of the sports fashion from the 80s, Santa always brought me boss trabs so I was hooked.

The footie though, was footie. And as I started following the blues consciously in 83, I don't need to outline how ace those times were.

I'd love some more of that please Mr Jesus.

80's for me, left school 89'

Blue glory,
World cup finals you actually gave a sh*t about,
Knight rider,'V' and the A-team on telly,
Buying sh*t loads of blank C90's from dixons to tape the charts.
Everton team singing on Wogan
Nobody in the entire year at school supporting Man U !!
Walker trackies :blink:
Watching Live Aid all day on the telly,


90's onward's for me...... where did it all go wrong???

Very true. I reckon every generation does the same thing but the kids now, they're fearless and thats the scary part.

They're going to have kids too at some point.

Emigrate, while you have the chance.

Spent 85-88 in Berlin with the Air Force...Magical dark city at the time full of intrigue, conspiracy and great night-life..... best place in the world to spend your 18th birthday!

Great memories

The generation you grew up in is always the greatest generation, and subsequent generations are a pale imitation spoilt by the youth of that day. And so the cycle continues.

The only thing I'm surprised at is the lack of pastie references.

 

[chicoazul]

Which reminds me, Reidos: went into Greggs for one of them chilli pasties yesterday and they were no where to be seen.

Settled for a Chicken Bake in the end which is the finest pastie on terra firma anyway.

I had an Amiga growing up. By the time the thing finished loading I'd outgrown it. In those days though men were men. I had ten paper rounds, 3am starts, dogs the size of tigers chasing you, just to afford Graham Gooch cricket that then would never load.

Not like nowadays where stuff works. ******* work I tell you. Who wants that? Wouldn't have any of this Interweb stuff either. In those days it was sticky magazines in brown paper bags. I for one was happy making the girls do stuff by flicking the pages really quickly.
