Football Casuals and their Brands

grid::brand This post is one of many on the topic of brands, prompted by Ashley Benigno’s idea for a grid weblogging project. You can follow other participants from this RSS feed, or pick from this list.

The UK has had it’s fair share of fashion-led subcultures. Arguably, this tendency dates to the 18th and 19th Century dandies, who either revelled in the strictures of ‘correct’ attire, or plumped for flamboyant, decadent dress, with a hint of gender confusion thrown in for good measure.

By the latter half of the 20th Century, the sartorial descendents of Beau Brummel and his ilk came in waves. 1950s Teds resurrected the Edwardian drape coats that gave them their name (a look revived in the 70s, filtered through Glam, or in its original form). The 1960s belonged to Mods, who morphed into Skin- and Suedeheads, and saw their sharp-suited tastes perrenially revived. Even Punk, whatever the protagonists might say about DIY, post-Winter of Discontent rage and anarchy, was a fashion movement first and foremost: just ask Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm MacLaren.

All these modes share common traits, regardless of the aesthetic - the clothes had to be expensive, they had to be ostentatious, they had to be immaculate, and they had to be worn first by working class young men. Given the high rate of fashion churn between the post-war period and the 1970s, it’s perhaps a surprise that the last great revolution in mens clothing was sparked sometime in 1977 and holds fast to this day - the Football Casual.

I think this has something to do with the brand. Where a Mod might wear any suit, as long as it adhered to the conventions of Italian tailoring, a Casual can’t wear any old tennis shirt: only Sergio Tachinni would do, or Fila, or Lacoste.

At the risk of offending some very scary hooligans who live in London, Casual began on Merseyside. First, when scallies from on and around the Scotland Road in Liverpool merged elements of Punk style with shades of David Bowie’s proto-glam, plus an odd attachment to drainpipe jeans and, of course, the wedge haircut. Then a little later - 1978-9 - scally supporters of Liverpool FC found themselves at a loose end in French and Italian city centres, thanks to their club’s European successes, and took the opportunity to acquire (or, more accurately, steal) sports- and causal-wear they knew fellow and rival supporters back home had no chance of finding.

Despite shifts in popularity over time, the brands favoured by the first casuals are those seen on every British high street today, whether it’s the European away match makes - Kappa, Lacoste, Ellesse, Sergio Tacchini - or brands adopted more recently - Burberry, Stone Island, Acquascutum - and not just on football fans. The seemingly permanent fetish for the early model Adidas trainers that can be seen on the feet of everyone from floppy-fringed indie kids to perfectly respectable middle-aged men began with the early Casual preference for Sambas, swiftly followed by Stan Smiths. That nice shower-proof cagoule you have in the wardrobe dates to Casual anoraks, originally worn over Pringle or Slazenger sweaters, often by Kappa, sometimes by Patrick. Admittedly, you don’t see many folk sporting Inega, Fiorruci or Lois nowadays, but they’re the exceptions that prove the rule.

This sartorial longevity is down to the brands, as much as it is to the enduring (admittedly distasteful) glamour of the well-turned-out football hooligan. To be a dandy, Mod, Punk or Skin involves an attention to detail shared by the Casual, but thanks to branding, that attention to detail can be reduced to a basic list of clothing manufacturers, rather than, to take Mods as an example, an in-depth understanding of the proper number of cuff-buttons and an eye for the correct width of tie. Of course, any old Casuals reading will disagree, as will their Burberry-capped and tracksuited contemporary followers, and they can reasonably cite the subtle differences of Casual attire from football club to football club (the London loyalty to Farah, say, or the short-lived fad for deerstalker hats in the North of England) but the fact remains that Casual was the first brand-led fashion movement to take hold in the UK, and it is branding that has made it last.

In case you’re wondering, when I got up this morning I put on a Sergio Tacchini sweater (in navy blue and red with white piping - mmmn!), dark grey cords and Diadora trainers. Hence this post.

  20. i remember seeing a huge travelling ccs at love street in 1984, we were beaten 2-1, benny brazil scored for us. I was 11 at the time and a wanna be BBC member in a blue lacoste.
    Hibs took 150 to that game it was an awesome march to the ground to witness! there was fighting in the St Mirren end which spilled onto the pitch, some ccs had sneaked in undetected. General chaos and disorder reigned all afternoon, i really felt kinda sorry for the inhabitants of paisley that afternoon.

  21. i remember in ‘85 we lost a midweek night game to the dons 3-0 at easter road. After the game i found myself accidentally in the middle of a mob of 60 ASC on Brunton Place, i didn’t know they were casuals ‘til they started chanting ‘aberdeen’. Shat masell but escaped unscathed

  32. Oh dear, its a rant and a half here!! CCS and the ASC arguing about who was this and that. I was in edinburgh for the hibs v leeds match, have to say hibs had a very good turn out but the OB spoiled the party. heard rumours of the ASC being done by the CSF.
    it seems to me that the OB are no 1 and we only have our memories of the good clothes, drink, dr*gs and fights we had. GOD I MISS IT!!

    Posted by AYRSC at 11am on 18.02.05

  33. i heard that hibs had a good mob for that game but i also heard that leeds service crew had 350.
    We have the return fixture against leeds away at the start of next season, the whyte and mackay cup is supposedly an annual fixture. What upset and annoyed me was seeing lads casuals punching hibs fans who were wearing their colours.

  46. As true aberdonian and worked in Edinburgh for years and went to loads of matches - in both ends - you talk off the fights and crews but realy being a supporter would be fun.

    ps was left in Edinburgh when 11 when cousin was arrested for fighting at Waverley in 1981 nae good.

    You never hear of the girl crews and we were there week in week out and fought like men when needed.

  47. dear alison,
    would you consider yourself a casualette?

    Posted by check at 10am on 05.06.05

  48. Our mob at last game vs Hibs - erm they werent out for that game coz they didnt expect Hibs to appear in any numbers - they’d been bringing 10-20 previously so wasnt worth the bother.

    As for the gear our guys wear - gladly compare airmile points for Paul and Shark with any Edinburgh tosser. Collection of Zegna, Stone Island, CP Company and Paul Smith aint too shabby either and unlike you lot I didnt have to steal it or buy fake shit from EBay.

    On subject of casualettes - was that slapper in the pink top the CCS bike? Everyone get a ride on her on your buses home?

    and finally I was laughing my arse off watching your mob go past the pub window with your police escort. Funniest moment was the wee tosser that looked straight at me and my bro sitting in the window and you could almost hear the cogs turning before he realised who we were - then despite outnumbering us 30:1 managed to stick 2 fingers up at us then turn and run. Motherwell police reckoned you were so serious a threat they actually gave you a whole 2 officer escort :-)

  54. Alrite all you lot out there talking shite, the scousers robbed there way through Europe in the early eighties and started the Sportswear fashions, i was going to Dundee and Utd games when 14/15 in 84/85, even though a life long Celt fan, “Dundee Utility” boys. In Scotland the first boys with the Casual gear was Motherwell we all know that,then A/deen, where were you Hibs boys when the Utility walked down Leith walk with 250 boys, at a Leeds match, ha ha ha.
    I miss the old days and still have most of my old togs and trainers, i hate the way evryone’s jumping on the band wagon these days, all the boys who were there at the start know it was more than fighting at football, it was about fashion, looking good for away days and the rest, it was a way of life for a lot of us.
    oh and one last thing for all you CCS, ICF boys and the like up here in Scotland, i’ve not been to games for years but last season the Utility ran right over evryone one of your mobs and not one of you can deny it, you Hibs boys wouldnt even come out of Tannadice,

    Member:1985/1992

    Best years of my fukin’ life!!!

    All you guys who done the shit back in the 80’s/90’s will know what I’m talking about.
    1 of clothes, none of this rip off pish that goes about these days.At least when you bought a designer sweatshirt or jeans in the 80’s/early 90’s you knew, and everyone else knew it was the real deal, not like now lol.
    Too much fake clothes now and too much fake fuckin’ casuals also.Today’s casuals wouldn’t have lasted 2 minutes in my day, we had balls and stood till the end.

    i.e. 6 of us stood against a shit load of Hibs in Dundee City Centre, They cunts came from everywhere, I got the shit totally kicked out of me, 137 cuts and bruises, they tied a rope(jumper string?) around my neck and I remember them saying KILL the Dundee bastard, man I had fuckin Timberland footprints all over my body lol, I survived and It was fuckin brilliant.
    Afterwards we were pissing ourselves it was class lol.
    That was the worst hiding I got and the most fun lol, If there’s any Capital City Service boys reading this from the 80’s/90’s that junkie fuck Bongo was there at the time when I got dood in lol, he’s probably dead now, he was always out of it.
    You were in Aberdeen and couldn’t get shit so you phoned Dundee for a liitle scrap which we were happy to oblige, you forgot to tell us how many you had thought ha ha.
    There was about 5 buses full, we were fuct from the start lol but as I said it was good fun at the time.

    I’m 35 now, married, 3 kids and a Scarfer, I love my team now and wouldn’t fight even if provoked, well maybe lol.

    Cheers 2 all the Fugs for stirring the memories.

  65. After having a few days to think about this shit, Having the cool clothes got you into the mob, staying there was about being a fuckin nutter and fuckall to do with clothes.
    Clothes never gained you respect, you done that shit for yourself lol.
    Rich guys had the dogs bollocks clothes but were pussies in the field, some guys like me who had good jobs (and clothes) fuct it up for themselves and ended up on the brew.
    No new designer clothes but the fuckin heart was there and no-one would say shit to us about clothes incase they got the shit kicked out of them.
    The rich pussy people used to pay £1 each towards our train fare to away games cause they knew they would be sort of safe with us lol and they were trying to buy respect but it never fuckin worked.Like I said earlier you earned respect not bought it.
    i.e. 6 of us went to Tynecastle and again we got fuct up but at the end of the day my mate was outside the train station and got a surprise kickin, he was my mate so I ran outside punched a few o’ the cunts and pulled my mate in the door, fuckin shiter, I tell you, I don’t know where it came from, my mate had a broken arm and on top of that they poured into the trainstation and we had no choice but to head over the fuckin railway track, and we got done for fuckin’ trespassing, what a joke eh! anyway we got PF letters soon after to say we were off the hook, thank fuck, that would mean another trip to Hearts end of Edinburugh with 6 again.

WE LED THE WAY AND STILL ARE. NO ONE CAN DENY WE HAVE THE MOST NOTORIOUS MOB NORTH OF THE BORDER. I WOULD BE EMBARRESED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH ANY OF UR INFERIOR MOBS. I DONT KNOW WHY SOME OF U BOYS BOTHER ANY MORE. ABERDEEN R THE MOST ORIGINAL MOB AND FANS IN SCOTLAND. HIBEES R CELTIC WANNABIES - THATS PRETTY SAD DUT WORST OF ALL IS THE JOKE OF SCOTTISH FOOTBALL HEARTS. I HATE RANGERS BUT FOR SUPPORTERS TO WANT TO BE THEM IS TOTALLY LAUGHABLE. MY MESSAGE TO ALL NON ABERDEEN SUPPORTERS OUTWITH THE OLD FIRM IS - TAKE A LEAF FROM ABERDEENS BOOK, GET SOME BALLS AND GET UR OWN SONGS. ONCE AGAIN THE DONS LEADIN THE WAY! STAND FREE.

  72. go tend your stalls at the barra’s ya weedgie scaffies, check you all in your fake clothes and your fake aftershave, what a joke! celtic casuals come on don’t make me laugh! just so as you know hibs hate celtic just as much as we hate the huns you are both the same thing, just a different colour. You represent religious bigotry, racism and and the all bad things about small minded society on the west coast. I think it would be fantastic if celtic were to beat it and go and play in the irish club league and rangers could go and play in the northern irish league, then we would be rid of this cancer that embarrasses scots like me all over the world, micky bhoy and celtic lad and, pearo and sean get lost and go home to ireland where you can sow your religious hatred and be welcomed, boys just think what that would do for kappa sales on the irish mainland! in your glasgow slums mate, hope the jam tarts thrash you! and by the way you probably would want to fuck davie cooper ya wee faggot!

  136. Nice article jack.

    I’ve lived in edinburgh for 13 years now but grew up in Northern England. I’ve found it fascinating speaking to different lads from the firms up here and realising that a lot of the fashions were very specific to an area as well as a year.

    It was the customising as well that made you stand out from other firms

    Jumbo Lee cords with the badge taken off and sewn on the ankle anyone? - which ankle? ours were on the outside right.

    splitting your hems so they sat nice over your trainies

    kickers with extra tags (but not too many else you looked like a right tool)

    I recently saw a deerstalker on Easter Rd, worn with style and respect for the history. the geezer stood out a mile and looked way better than all the clone island kids do at every ground through the UK. It’s not just about being in a mob but standing out in style as well. You can’t fake a deerstalker can you??

  150. I’ve not been into that since the end of the eighties, but I can remember fondly away days to aberdeen, edinburgh, ayrshire etc. It was mostly about fashions and style, as well as being ‘game’. Fashions i distinctly remember were, Dungaree’s, POP84, Pod sandals, Kickers, Lee semi-flares, Ocean Pacific, Chipie, The NEXT ‘great outdoors’ jackets, remember the brown and green hooded ones? they were a staple, also the next ‘golfcourse jumpers’ - the ones in blue or green with the crazy patterns, paisley pattern shirts, diadora, adidas jean trainers, Bjorn Borg, Benetton Rugby shirts, alaska parka’s, berghaus bubble jackets, chunky moccassins, Ricci, Boss, Armani, black 501’s, Crazy fashions!
    i remember going to love st once around 87 and there was a boy with a blazer, chinos and ski goggles!
    As far as i seem to remember most of the ICF weren#t from glasgow, and were from Irvine\Ayrshire, and they were all mental as fuck, the times yoou’d go via irvine on the train to ayr or killie and they would be at the train station every time, mad bastards!

  151. Aberdeen were the first real mob in Scotland (1980/81), Motherwell were 2nd (1982), Hibs, Dundee (1983/84), then Rangers (1984), Hearts were skinheads till 1984/85. Aberedeen were easily best organised, dressed and numbers (Oct85), then Hibs caught up and definitely held No 1 (1991 approx)…then any team fcould claim to be best at some time or other. Also, Dundee/Utd although good at home, never travelled from 1983-1988, as there mob could not get it together in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Dundee. Mobs now days would not no what would have hit them in my opinion if faced with 80’s mobs.

    Posted by Real Hibs form 80's at 4pm on 24.12.05

  152. Burnzy, you must have run with a trampy mob if you got your golf jumpers from next. Here in sunny Leith we favoured Lyle and Scott and Pringle. Black 501’s were perhaps in but that was back in 1983/84 and were well favoured by the Hearts Service Crew as their mob was initially known. I take it you are from Dundee and that is where the dungarees come from. Oor Willie Utility indeed. Get back on your bucket and stop fantasising. What actually happened is that fashions changed on a weekly basis in say 87 - 88. That lasted about six months till the fines started and the police turning up at your door on a Saturday morning to tell your ma you were a casual. Plus, remember that there wasnt really that many labels to choose from. So what happened was that people began to accept all the usual famous labels as acceptable every weekend and they moved into almost mainstream fashion. This eventually lead to the Stone Island, Burberry nonsense as they were initially worn by the “top boys” then the rest of the mob followed and then, to a certain extent, the youth of todays society. It is basic sociology, from deviancy comes the norm. Personally, i wouldnt be seen dead in a Parka. At the end of the day, anyone who was still in it by 1991 was a fighter principally, not a dresser. These days had gone, replaced by E and clubs. Outside the calton studios in Edinburgh, graffiti appeared taunting the boys who didnt run with the mob any more and instead took class A drugs for recreation. What Jack says in his initial article is correct but was to be expected. The casuals were a massive youth culture in the late 80’s , any self respecting clothing company should have sacked their management team if they didnt utilise its potential. Young people cant really imagine what it was like in 1985, there were few places to buy good gear in Scotland, shops like USC have simply filled a large gap in the market at the right time. What should also be stated is that the quality of the clothing has deteriorated rapidly. Remember the old Timberland moccs. The sole didnt wear down. In today’s world, even cars and lawnmowers have what is called built in obselesence. I.e. certain parts are manufactured to wear out in a given period of time. Clothes went the same way a long time ago. I used to have a pair of Polo jeans and the denim was incredibly thick. It is not just clothes that have changed but society. It could be said that casuals were the last stand against society. It was hammered by Maggie Thatcher who, it is said, turned a blind eye to E. Thus, today,the majority of youngsters just get “pure melted man”. Everyone knows society is finished as we know it. The casuals took their moment but didnt see it to the end. They didnt have a chance. Now, where will another spark come from. It will be the next generation and it will be far more violent. That is inevitable as the final end. Big brother, no freedom to even have a shite. The next youth uprising will be stamped upon and various “controlling elements” will reorganise society like a massive ant nest. No deviancy will be tolerated. Perhaps deep down, we all knew what it was all about in the eighties. Not clothes, not fighting, the point was we were young men who saw that the world was a con. It was about the fact that life was not great any more. Why do you you think educational standards have fallen. The goverment realised that too much education was a bad thing. We were the last. Why should anyone have to work fourty hours in a week to if you think about it, to provide food and shelter and clothes. The rich get richer and the poor of today will vanish. the royal bank of scotland has opened a new head office with a shopping mall, hairdressers etc. They have a creche and take the bairns round the complex during the day. The next step will be housing and then we may have a child, born in the bank complex, brought up in the bank complex and taking a job in the bank, before retiring into a bank retirement home. certain individuals have become so brainwashed or unable to think for themselves that they would welcome this. “Yes, our James is doing well for himself, he has a house and job in the Bank” bollocks, our liberty is being stolen. Anyone up for a new revival. CCS . Be all you can be, choose soccer violence

  155. hey brian,i think ur spot on but ur taking it a bit far wie the r.b.s and as for reviving the ccs it just won’t happen,well not to extent that it used to be.the old shed mob at tynecastle was probably some of the hardest supporters in scotland at that time who would have wiped out any casual firm off that day,some off the shed mob turned casual and started up the hearts mob (hearts service crew) and then (casual soccer firm).the uk is turning into a police state nearly a cctv cam on every corner off every street u even look or walk the wrong way ur collared and questioned,but brian what i truly agree with you is the day will come this country will explode again,into extreme violence,that the police and the goverment won’t know whats hit them.it will be a reversed trend this time,the 80’s and 90’s was violence then raves and drugs, this present day the drugs are rife the lads are bored,with boredom comes violence then theres football,so maybe i was wrong earlier when i talked about the ccs not getting back there full potential but brian it won’t just be the ccs all the firms csf included will be back big time and nothing will stop them.

  170. Tennis clothing had the largest impact on the casual scene in the 80’s anything that was made in Italy ruled! In 1985 Boris Becker won Wimbledon aged 17 in ellesse clothing and it became really big. McEnroe’s tacchini youngline tops were highly desireable, made in Italy and tight fit. Bjorn Borg’s fila line was huge as was any fila item generally as it was made in Italy and made to the highest standards. Then of course Lacoste, worn by Henri Laconte (French tennis player) though i’m sure no-one has ever won Wimbledon in a lacoste. Then there’s the Adidas Ivan Lendl range, all made in Germany with the cool sky blue iceblock design, this was great in polo shirt or tracky with zip-off sleeves. And finally cerutti 1881 which was very rare to get and worn by Jimmy Connors. All this gear was available at Olympus Sports on Princes Street from 1985 onwards, but the real jem was Austin Reed’s downstairs sports department on Princes Street (it had the lot) Fila polo shirts were 29.95GBP in 1985. Also Jenners had a pretty good range. I never shopped at USC it was and still is way too jim!

Was a Wednesday night game around 1976 after we beat them in the cup. 2000 Motherwell fans running from the ground to the coach park (Gussie Park), attempting to get onbaord their buses as they were bricked, the sight of all their fans running up Arklay St shouting on the buses to wait for them… Every bus sporting smashed windows. A cold trip back to Motherwell. The Dens Derry then went onto Dundonlad St and smashed up 2 Police cars… Those were the days.. I think they call that a Riot these days..

It was very rare to spot a St Johnstone fan before the game, they used to hide their scrafs…in their home town too lol. Does anyone remember the game with 100 odd arrests (all Dundee!?!) back in the early 70’s? The Police didnt have enough vans so they hired 2 furniture lorrys to take the arrested from the ground to the Police station lol…classic. Perth Pack? Crazy Young Saints? Fair City Firm? They only came out to play when the likes of Alloa or Stirling Albion (the local derby) came to town…

Hibs this and that is all they ever come away with, Dundee saying Motherwell were the firts dressers proves what little they observed 80-84 before the SS had even travelled to an away game. Aberdeen were and still are at the forefront - the formation of The National Firm is living proof what ABERDEEN SOCCER CASUALS really are and even then the SNF couldn’t get it together to do the ASC.

  203. FROM MY MEMORY ARCHIVE: I remember when Dundee United played West Ham United in a friendly in Dundee, late summer 1982. It was the first time I think I had ever seen a mob of hooligans without club colours and very smart they were too. Spotted a couple of Deerstalker hats as well, that was different. There must have been around 50 of them and they went onto smash up a bar opposite the railway station and I think a fair few of them were arrested by the Dundee Polis. They met a little resistance from Dundee United scarfers, but on the whole I think they came did what they wanted to do in Dundee that day. If my memory serves me correctly, I think the bulk of their mob was the same ones who were featured on the TV programme ‘Hooligans’, back in the 80’s. I do remember seeing a (huge) black kid getting arrested, then I saw him in the tele programme as well…alongside the bass player from the CocKnEy ReJeCtS lol.. ICF are / were a force, no doubt.

    Most likely wearers of Aquascutum and burberry hats.
    Get back to some real gear boys, a nice pair of cords with some nike air max.
    You can blether away all you want about what you are going to do. But that’s all it is till you do is blether.

  210. Right , lets get everything into perspective ,the hibs crew were mainly manned by the YLT (Young Leith Team) these were the guys , remember ambushing the Hun Scum at St Clair , when we joined up with the YNT and other Edinburgh gangs , i’m 47 now and have been watching Football Factory to get me in the mood for Saturday against the Jambo.

    When i was young my father said to me, When you grow up son , what you gonna be , Are you gonns go to school and get a degree or you gonna be the leader of yhe YLT

  211. A wee history lesson for you younger Edinburgh boys. In the mid to late eighties, us Hibs boys used to refer to Hearts as “catalogue casuals” - the reason for this was that at any point in time, there would be some form of CCS presence in the town. Hearts boys couldn’t get to the shops and therefore had to order their gear through their Mum’s catalogues( and take full advantage of being able to pay up a Tacchini tracksuite over 208 weeks - despite the fact that is was out after 2 months!)

    Around this time there were quite a few high profile defections from the CSF to the CCS.

    Hibs were the most inventive mob in Scotland.

    Arriving at Motherwell before the SS got on their buses for a game in Edinburgh.

    50 + CCS walkinging straight into a Aberdeen v Raith game at Kirkcaldy. Removed from the ground that day and put on a train back to Edinburgh - only problem was hat the train track is right beside the Raith ground, so Emergency cords were pulled and we were off the train and trying to get into the ground again.

    Dressed in snorkel Jackets, NHS specs and Rangers scarfs - walking amongst the ICF at Ibrox - they were completely unaware until they started getting hit.

    No-one, apart from Hibs, had the balls to pull stunts like this back then and no-one will ever try things like this again.

    This is Edinburgh and We Are Hibs.

    Posted by Edinburgh at 11pm on 02.02.06

  212. Jesus!

    Scottish Football is fucked. As are any offspring that these cretins manage to squeeze out.

    I hear Little Cumbrae is up for sale - how about the SFA buy it and then just dump ALL the casuals that really feel they still have something to prove on there and then don’t go back for a couple of months? They’d have a great time and so would we.

    On a fashion tip…what about Gallini? What about Grolsch bottle tops as fashion accessories? D M Hoey’s on Viccie Road should be turned into a museum I say!

    Everytime a see the hibs lads at a game(espacially away) use make me fear no cunt, simply because of the reputation use have built up over the years,and i dont have a problem way use doing what use do,infact I think its a laugh watchin use all fight:leeds,hearts,aberden…seen it, couple of mates of mine think the same
    However, I do think use are ALL TALK,NO ACTIONNow adays use do fuck all pretty much, and i know police are everywere,CCTV,gettin stuck in jail for years… But why do use all know create a scene to give yourself somethin to do, Like at rangers the other day a walked past a bus load of use all, surely you could have done somthin to all the huns trapped behind the police barricade, Just give them dogs abuse, u canny get arrested for that JUST DO FUCKING SOMTHING THSES DAYS take the piss out of them, fake charge them, make yourselfs known, ITS ALL FUCKIN TALK THSES DAYS WAY USE.U canny get arreested for the above

  223. I cant believe full grown men are arguing over who was the hardest in the 80’s it’s now that counts, is that not what you say to celtic fans that rant about winning the european cup. One point i feel i’d like to make from a female point of view coming from the Edinburgh area myself is that those so called scummy celtic fans are the best dressed guy’s in scotland with a better city and a far better selection of shops oh and let’s no forget the night life……….. P.s Have a good st patricks day!

  224. time to close this forum

    I’ve thought of doing that Jambo, but I like to leave comments open on all posts at this site. Sometimes people find a post years after I wrote it and add a helpful or interesting comment (eg. check out this thread about collapsed lungs, which is nearly three years old) and - unlikely as it may seem! - someone might add something useful to the discussion here.

    So, yeah - to future commenters, why not talk about casual clothes and brands, as well as trading insults? What brands do you wear to the football? Do fans even give a shit about clothes any more? (The continued popularity of Burberry caps suggests not!) Do you take the badge off your Stone Island gear or leave it on? What’s your favourite pair of trainers? Etc. Etc.

    I’ve given up on deleting off-topic comments (though anything really dodgy will still get the deletion treatment), but if you could add a line on the topic at hand to whatever you were going to say, I’d be most grateful.

  226. Jack, that’s a fair shout.
    I’m fearful for the under 5’s these days. They think shopping in USC makes them a player, let them goto the games and rant and rave. They will never copy what happened in the 80 and 90’s, in violence or style. There is a reason why the dance scene was allowed to flourish, the police knew the casuals were involved, if the boys were up all night taking pills then they wouldn’t be causing carnage on a saturday afternoon. The police are wise to it all and are probably frequent visitors to this thread, looking for names, places and dates.
    Anyway.
    I’d be interested to see if the dear stalker took of again,back in 80’s it was a classic accessory, with the top boys doning them. Daks of London ones were the must have of that item. Think one of the hibs boys mentioned he had seen one at easter road recently, that’s respect.
    Wonder if the like of Ocean Pacific, Pod, Chipie and classic nouveau,even still exist. Think chipie has a bairns line now!
    In stirling there was a quality shop, gibson’s that used to be great for all these garments, not sure they ever sold OP though. Think it’s a coffee shop now, probably thanks to USC and burtons!
    SI has managed to flood the market, alot of fakes out there thanks to ebay and the like.Badge is of mine, don’t thank anyone for growling at me when i’m out walking the dug and bairns, just because of the badge.

    What i’d like brough back?Chipie jumpers and lois cords, quality garments.

    Not sure about Prada, it seems a bit poncy is everything they do in Black?!?!?

    Where did this thing for baseball caps come from? Did I miss something or was it a trip too see the american casuals that introduced it!!!!! I’m all for fashion evolving, but not copying americans, get a grip boys.

    I still see some of the old boys in cruise, good too see you lads. Keep up the style.

  227. Burberry caps are dead in the water mate, well they are in Ireland, an ever growing casual scene and indeed hooligan scene. As is Stone Island not just here but also in England. Paul & Shark is undoubtedly the top casual brand now day’s and what a brand it is. Acquascutum is up there in the big time return to football aswell. Not much happening in the big firm tables now days with increaseing crackdowns on this behaviour but in Ireland where it hasnt really took off yet its easy enough for a cracking day out and a great punch up especially in the Southern League. With the new Setanta Cup on the go where the biggest teams from North and South clash there is new firms that have never met and go all out for it, its great.

  228. here m8 …….(the new scene) wen hibs nd hearts wer over in ireland in the summer nothing happened …..i know that a few boys from both sides wer over but nothing happened….. i believe that it is probably just growing over there but i hope that a few of yous can cum over 2 scotland to see wat it is like over here …..as it is still ‘game ’ here and hopefully always will be .. well hopefully lol. if yous do get it on over there. i think that it will be great 2 see north against south as it will be more that your football team in some cases . but m8 make sure neither side take it 2 far… (i am totally against sectarianism 100%) p.s. i also agree with burberry caps, i have never been for them in the first place.

  233. MEMORY ARCHIVE RECALL: Around 500 members of the Lochee Fleet (Dundee street gang), dressed Clockwork Orange style, around 1972/3 making their way to a Dundee v Celtic game at Dens Park… They looked like an army. Also, bumping into 30 Aberdeen fans who were dressed like Dexy Midnite Runners band members, George Street Aberdeen, after a midweek cup game against Dundee, around 1981/2, got the worst kicking of my life.. 30 onto 1, the odds were stacked against me lol. PuNkS & SkInS v PuNkS & SKiNs - Hibs v Dundee, 1978 Easter Road, Wattie from The Exploited on the Hibs frontline lol… The memories… they keep on coming…

  234. I remember when there was about 100 ASC members marching through the streets of Edinburgh, down to Easter Road when suddenly a group of about 100 Hibs Casuals came running out of two sepparate alleyways and had us trapped. The Hibs Causals thought they had done such a great job as they were about to go in for the kill. All of a sudden 50 ASC members creeped up behind the Hibs Causals and started racking there heads around. The Hibs Causals were gobbed smacked. Suddenly the trapped ASC members started going mental! There was missiles flying everywhere. People being struck by objects such as clubs, sticks, lead pipes etc etc. Within a minute the stong Hibees were done and dusted. ASC will allways get the last laugh……………Grand Memories They Were.

  242. Aberdeen have a selective memory,they never recovered from the “battle of queen street” in 85/85 season.Top boys and well mobbed up jumped of the train at Queen Street,Glasgow polis escorted them out into Queen Street and they realised that they were trapped.Rangers pulled in a good few hundred that day and the battle was fucking magic.Aberdeen stood and fought like fuck fuck but eventually numbers counted.Never seen so many guys getting a doing in my life.Total respect to ASC.
    Hibs were always snidey ambushers who NEVER came to Ibrox.At least the SS and ASC came regular for the aggro.

  261. Think majority of people miss the point about casuals , the name casuals is synonomous with clothing , thats the true identity of a casual . I know guys that cant fight sleep but they are still classed as one of the lads cos` they got the right gear on .

    Top Ten Labels :

    Prada ,
    Zegna Sport ,
    CP Company ( Millie Miglia forever ),
    Stone Island ,
    Armani Jeans ,
    Lacoste ,

  278. What is this all about? Have just finished Dan Rivers book about ASC. I am still at a loss as to why anyone would find pleasure in inflicting serious damage and pain on another human being for the fun of it. On of the posts this guy says he was almost hanged by a jumper and was very close to being killed. He survived but still found it a great laugh (after the event). It must be passed down in the genes as there are obviously some seriously disturbed people who think it is ok for their own offspring to follow there pre neanderthal exploits. Try chanelling your energies in trying to educate yourselves. The spelling and grammar is frightening. Are there so many illiterate idiots out there in this country. Some of them can’t even spell casual. Very sad indeed.

  289. To take a few moments to revert to the reason for this forum. In 1984 I was on holiday in Marbella aged 15. I met three guys on holiday. A 16 year old guy from Liverpool and a pair of twins from London. I was wearing shit catchers, coaster slip-ons and baggy shirts. I knew from the moment I saw these guys I looked like such a style-less dick-head. They were wearing Sergio gear, Lacoste polo’s, Levi 501’s, Farrahs, Oxford smooth caps,Original White Kickers,Diadora Tennis Shoes, Raybans. Cool College boy haircuts. It was a total revelation to me. These guys all had a common thread in terms of style but individually were very diffrent in their personal taste. That was what appealed to me. The individuality was what really caught my eye.
    From 1984 until 1989 I was really interested in the whole scene. I loved that fact that Hibs crew at that time were individually distinct from one another. Hibs boys would not be seen dead wearing the same gears as their mates. The look had a real continental flavour. I personally think people under estimated/completely ignore the influence the of the Edinburgh Festival on the Edinburgh crews. All the continental fashion on show for all to see and be influenced by for 8 weeks in the summer every year. You must bear in mind that the scene was largely still underground in terms of the mass populace of youth. Dressing in Casual gear did make you stand out and did attract menace, but fuck that when you look cool.
    I remmember Michelle Gallo in Rose Street and going in and intentionally asking to try on gear on the bottom shelf so I could check the female sales assistant tits out. Buying Giscol french import jeans, tweed trousers, getting Levis tailored into flares with trianguler fillets added, Seaside port shoes, deck shoes, dash knitwear from John Lewis, Armand Bassi t-shirt cardigans.
    As with all youth movements the style becomes diluted the more it is proliferated. The classic gear becomes the dominant style and the eclectic sports wear/ designer mix is edged out. Pity I feel as I have seen really sharp crews turning heads. I can’t remmember the last time I spotted a bunch of young guys who really caught my eye. Its almost like dressing by numbers but hey…….I’m just an old cunt now so what do I know.

There was one big cunt called mike tunstall and he clobberd me and stuck his timberland moccasins on ma boat. I escaped inta a pizza place and just then the OB arrived..thank fuck! Jute bastards.
    I got slashed accross the face but was lucky, it jus

  292. Cheers,
    The point I was really trying to make is that in the 80’s especially it wasn’t so much about how much you spent on clothes but how you wore them. I remember Telford college in the mid 80’s. Seriously well dressed lad doing it for not a lot of money. Simple elegance. More stylists in those days. Prada. CP. et al is great gear, and is value for money but if every one is wearing it the subversive element is all but lost. I loved baggy jumbo cords, paisley pattern button shirts and zx600’s. I can recall in 1986 in Olympus in Edinburgh standing next to two wee Hibs boys. They had a perfectly lucid discussion about the pro’s and cons of zx600 versus Gazelles. The lad opted for the zx600 on the grounds that they would give some poor cunt a better kickin’. Absolute class.

    I remember the paisley shirt stage. Had a few.
    We jumped on a train in Perth circa winter 84 en route tae a Skol cup final and im sure all the ASC were wearing them too, Mabey they can verify it, or are mabey to ashamed to admit it!! Ski tops, kagouls and the like were the game.I loves all the gear.mind I was at Queen street around 1986 and saw around 400 casuals, getting an OB escort, all decked out in deerstalkers and burberry,possibly ASC? think a few of the top boys at the front even had these walking/hiking sticks,They looked amazing. I stay clear of the usual gear on the go the now, except CP Co, which is simply awsome clobber,Theres a jacket on their webby the noo for £450 and im tempted…!
    More funny stories please lads too! like the hibs mob dressing up in parkas lol

  295. I used to run with the REAL ASC “Ayr Service Crew” Thru the late 80s and into the 90s. We had more than a decent mob for a smaller club. We stood our ground with a few of the big boys and I`ve still got the Scars to prove it!!

    Its good to see mentions from the MBS and the FEAR as we had some great offs in the lower leagues. They were the real dos no filth escorting you all over the shop.

    Anyone remember when the whole of Scotland let England walk past them at Hampden except the CCS and a few of us from AYR? What about charging England at half time thru the gates at the Celtic end? We hade a serious do with Birmingham City at the petrol station at the Plaza great day.

    The old firm were anonimous that day, the utility and the Aberdeen SC fucked off early and Killie got taxi`s to Newton Mearns and caught buses home!!

    Anyone remember the Killie Soccer Dressers? what a shower of Fannies they were? or The Love Stree Ladies…some of them were quite tasty!!

    Haven`t been down Somerset way for years, anything going on? The old intrest is starting again

  299. First of all. Celtic don’t want a firm. To all those buckie swelling neds that posted about the csc and the IRA. Don’t demean the IRA by trying to put them and the csc together. The csc are a bunch of daft neds, pretty much the same as every other casuals. Secondly you should realise how daft you all sound. I used to run with gangs in Castlemilk but I grew out of that when I was 16. And the boys from there were a lot tougher than any football casual I have ever seen. ICF-I thought they were West Ham, CSC-don’t exist, CCS-I’ve felt more intimidated in Newton Mearns, Dundee- great place to live once you retire. Most of you can’t even fill 10000 seater stadiums. Yet you all jump about as if your nutcases. Well I’ve seen real nutcases, and not one of you would have lasted five minutes around these people.

  302. MOD, in the late 80s most well dressed mobs were all dressing in a contintal feel, remember Charles Chevinon, Biscoti, Ciao, verte vallee, matinique,fiorrici classic nouveau,replay, bournivelle,liberto, ball denims, pop 84, chippie,best company, ZX’s,burlington socks, ox blood DM’s and blazers and kipper ties all these brands never stood the test of time as far as I know. I do remember DASH that you mentioned, supprised anyone else did. They made good sweatshirts really colourful ranges each season.

  314. A was at the hibs v celtic game when we got CS’d, a wis a bairn at the time in the auld cow shed (famous 5 now) and which triggered off ma hatred for all other scottish firms and lifelong support of the CCS.

    The guys who got huckled for it were a couple o soap doggin’ muppets on the glue, hardly substantiates a crew.

    East Lothian boys had a big impact mid 80s to mid 90s on the edinburgh firms with a lot of boys hooked up with HBC, CCS and the scum across the at swine castle CSF fuds.

    Italian street style, paninaro, we lived it.

    We used to wear pods, seaside walking shoes and ZX trainers with chippie, C17 jeans and jumpers, lacoste polos with retour and classic nouveau making an appearance. Ciao and chevignon jackets were top clobber. Burberry short jackets, first edition with woolen tartan inside and matchin scarf.

    Main early shops were buzzini on cockburn street and rose street with cruise opening up on rose street with a tiny wee shop. Thats when Armani started getting seen on trendies in Edinburgh. Versace came along but lookin back was shit gear, and probably stemmed fi the soap dodgers. Then came stone island which is still the best fitba gear.

    Naebody does it like the hibs boys, biast or no, you canny deny that. Aberdeen were good in there day, game, but faded away when Jay, Strath and the rest of the main boys went doon or lost interest. A can remeber a game at pittordie 88/89 when they had mibbee 800 boys. Amazing sight but run like fuck when we turned on them at the grave yard. A lot of young boys though, probably just oot to witness the legendary CCS.

I was at tynecastle in 1994 when we broke the 23 games in a row i was only 8 years old but will always remember walking out onto the gorgie road after the game we smashed hearts fans all over the place the hibs casuals and hibs baby crew were in there prime i wish it would get back to those days but with cctv it will never be the same

  316. I urge all genuine ASC of past and present to avoid adding any further futile comments to this thread.

    We know what happened back in the old days and we know what is happening now.

    No need to boast about anything or let outsiders know.

    As for Hibs in particular I’ll say only this, in our encounters over the years we’ve won some and we’ve lost some and that’s the way it is with EVERY mob.

    cheers

  327. Some good stories from the glory days of the scene on here, shame you need to trawl through all the usual bullshit posts from know-nothing kids!

    The recent resurgence in the scene has brought a new generation of lads to the scene but in my opinion hasnt stopped the decline of the scene, walk through any city centre in Scotland on a match day and you’ll see real lads….but its still on its last legs I’m afraid!

    The fashion side has all but gone due to the mainstream popularity of most casual labels….Burberry (killed by the neds) Aquascutum (RIP too)…now Paul & Shark and Stone Island have been adopted by the better off neds!!

    CP Company still has its main fanbase in the casual scene and long may it last! New labels like One True Saxon too are more or less casual only but it pains me to see the indie kids and wanky TV presenter types have taken Lyle & Scott for themselves…cunts!!

  330. Ayr had a crazy, well dressed crew. I remember the top boys were [names removed] etc. Ayr Service Crew always stood against any other crew in the 80’s. I can remember [names removed] standing against a mob of ICF in Central station and doing them by flinging trollies down the escalators at them. Fun times ;)
    I can remember Ayr running rangers out of town again, when they played at Somerset in 1988.
    They had a great long running feud with the tramps from kilmarnock, and the icing on the cake was when Fulton got the top boy [name removed] from Killie’s girlfriend pregnant, and at matches, Fulton would always shout over the segregation fence if [name removed] wanted ‘any money for the wean?’ lol.

  334. Hibs Casual - legally speaking, I’m the publisher of comments here, and I obviously don’t want to risk getting into trouble if, say, a specific fight is mentioned on my site. (I doubt the police are reading this now, but they might do after the fact, and this page is top result on Google for Hibs casual, and a searches for stuff like Hibs football violence show this page up in the top five…)

    So if you want to talk about current football violence, I’d prefer it if you do it elsewhere, if you want to talk about casual gear - go right ahead!

I think the anger of most Hibs fans started in the long hot summer of 1990 when Wallace Mercer ( may he rest in hell !! ) tried to shut us down as a club thats why the hibs crews hit there hites in the early nineties( i was too young to remember my info is fae older casuals ) Hibs and Hearts have never been the same the gloating of Hearts and Aberdeen was shoking but thats why now 16 years on we give them a good beating b4 and after games praise hibs the ccs and north edinburgh

Burberry bush hats (leather with the check inside), Troop Excitement, Troop in Effect, Travel Fox, Ted Baker shirts, Pop84, Boss (before Rocky4 made them popular and the fake ones that came back from Spain), Leather jackets with cartoon patches, OP , Chipie…

The casual tree in scotland runs as follows. 1st Aberdeen (A.S.C) kicked it all off 1980-81 ish we started dressing after some boys made a trip to a game in Liverpool so well done to the scousers for starting the whole thing off. 2nd I think you’ll find was (and this will piss the Edinburgh Muppets right off) Motherwell. 3rd Hearts and the rest of you no hope joke mobs can bring up the rear like you’ve always done.

  355. I am an original A.S.C member and have read most if not all the postings on this page and a couple of things have become apparent. There seems to be alot of boasting or should I say bullshit from a certain Edinburgh Crew (more than any other on here). Like wise there have been very few comments from another rather well know N.E Crew.
    All that I’ll say is that we the Aberdeen Soceer Casuals have no need blaw or boast about what we have achieved or done over the years our reputation speaks for itself. While on the other hand the C.C.S seem to feel the need to build a reputation through blawing or BULLSHITING.

    no.1 not all ppl that wear it are casuals..they wear it coz they can afford to wear it…
    n0.2 half the ppl that do are wearing fake its easy to tell the diffrence..the real one is that the badge outline is green…the fake being like a lime green….
    no.3..the lad is well jeal cos he can only wear donny specials or thinks hes a clubby book casual..bill being bumped of course…
    n0.4..here lad…awa u go to the berries and tatties and neep picking and maybe if you do that for 20 yrs and save up ..you just might know how it feels to wear dear genuine clobber…
    my wardrope is full of stone island as i like to keep up with the seasons fashion…
    like wot rondo says clothes shouldnt come in to football thuggery anyway..its about havn the guts and heart to stay and play…clothes to me are about wearing them on a sat night to look the dogs bollocks and to pull and chik in the process…
    i dont know nowt about casuals etc im a family man from whitfield dundee…and this is one mans point of view…ywsr lol
    also wot i do no is if it wasnt for the drugs ie smack etc then maybe just maybe the casuals wouldnt be fading out..as there either monged and slavering on the foil…think it better to get a scrap at a football match than fighting a drug habit…if i was givn the choice it wouldnt be the latter..the main boys of the old auf were the dogs but are also most them are aids up or dead…all i know is that casuals will never be the same again in dundee and paul hunter u know this as you were one of the old…put it this way if the old sqaud came bak nowadays it would be a diffrent kind of adreanaline to wot it is now…like i say i no nowt about the casual game as i wasnt intrested..but i did no alot of the old gang ppl like davy johnstone and co…but look at the way hes turned out…catch ma drift lads…
    say no to the foil just look at davy for eg sellin his erchie up at bullion fields along with benny craterpus baldy grass colgin….

  371. Regrettably, but predictably, this board is full of uninformed nonsense, from wannabes, never-weres and no marks.

    There is no doubt that there are, historically, four firms worth talking about in scotland:

    aberdeen asc, hibs ccs, rangers icf and motherwell ss.

    there seems to be a concerted effort to invent a history for hearts csf across numerous outposts in cyberspace. many of the remarks are much similar and i suspect a small number of individuals, who i applaud for effort, but are otherwise dreamers.

    anyway, aberdeen and motherwell deserve credit for creating the scottish casual scene. aberdeen and hibs are the only horses in the race when discussing the greatest ever scottish firm, but rangers get credit for being a cut above everybody else.

    aberdeen vs hibs is really too close to call, and largely goes with personal preference. both have things in their favour: aberdeen can boast innovation and longevity, whereas hibs were top guns when the scene was at it’s peak in scotland, and pulled off some remarkable stunts both in scotland and beyond.

    at the end of the day, i wouldn’t like to split them, and this old dog calls it a score draw.

    as for whether some hearts kid at someone’s school was a casual a couple of weeks before everyone else - so what. even if it’s true, which i’m deepy sceptical of, it’s a mere historical footnote. hearts disappeared off the map rapid. hibs are the only show in town with regards to edinburgh’s contribution to the casual scene.

    as for utility - a very good at times, but lack the historical pedigree.

    celtic also had a very good firm for a time despite the bluster from teenage cyber-loyalists, but they didn’t last long.

    smaller clubs have often punched above their weight: airdrie notably, but also Partick Thistle, QoS, St Johnstone and so on.

    But at the end of the day it’s aberdeen and hibs, hibs and aberdeen. Whenever anyone talks about the casual history of scotland, it’s about these two, everything else is defined in relation to that.

  387. To Anyone and Everyone!

    Liverpool started it in England and too close a contest between who was top in Scotland but has to be between Aberdeen and Hibs, Aberdeen was doing well in Europe at the time and thus probably saw the casual scene England had, before any other Scottish team. Hibs at their peak were unbeatable.

    I was a youngster in the MBS with St Johnstone and fought a good few battles in my day.

    I’ll note them not to brag, just to recollect the laughs all you guys had oot there on a Saturday be it home or away.

    I remember we took a bus to Ayr in 89, I was 15, but well dressed as worked part time in Valentinos the only decent designer shop in Perth.

    52 of us on the bus, we stopped off at the pub the Ayr boys drank in and totally surprised them, from memory it was a white building a wee bit like a cotttage, next to a dual carriageway.

    What a laugh we were scrapping all over the shop.

    Then the filth came put everyone of the Perth mob back on the bus and took us all to the copshop, 2 boys fae Perth ,Finnie & Funky went straight to Barlinnie cos they had charges pending or were out on bail.

    When they told us to empty oor pockets in the Nick, they took my wallet and said oot loud in front o abody tae the Desk Sargeant,
    “1 Wallet, £35 and two condoms, what’s your date o birth Son.”
    A my mates were in stitches as I was only 15.
    Then to add insult to Injury, they put a us under agers in the same big holding cell, we one pisser and I was bursting tae.
    Anyway they drove us a back to Perth where my Maw was waiting in Perth Copshop, It’s aboot 11:45 pm and after I’m cautioned I had to sign for my stuff as the cop tarvelling wi us fae Ayr had brought a the clear ziplock bags doon wi him tae Perth, that was fun signing for 2 condoms in front of your Ma.

  395. [The following comment is by ‘southlondonboy’, not me, but it got caught in the spam filters, and I accidentally deleted it—Jack]

    getting back to the point..CLOTHES..

    first I’m (almost) 39 which made me 13 in 1981 and all I can say is that the brands sported by the ‘dons’ back then were:

    Fila, (not Tacchini or Ellese as these were second best)

    Aquascutum, (the check is slicker than Burberry)

    Lois Jumbos, (Farahs were what we wore to school), Waffles were for those who couldnt affors Farah

    Pringle, (because of the LION on the chest), Lyle & Scott was acceptable but came after Pringle, The Golf look circa 1983, came after the Tennis.

    Adidas, (adicolor/sambas etc), over Nike..(Wimbledon were considerably cheaper), Although the holy grail were of course GOLD Diadora Borg Elites, (the only diadoras to wear), Kickers were worn by some but were a bit bulky.
    Not forgetting the Patent shoes with the Gold bar, the Baskets or the Nicklebys.

    Lacoste Polos, (the pastel colours went well with the Pringle Jumper), the Shark brand came later.

    of course the Wedge was the only haircut to have, (dependent on your hair type).. if you had curly..wet look perm was your main option.

    Did this look originate in Liverpool? I can’t say because I’m not a scouser but I have my doubts. were Liverpool the only club in Europe back then? and if so would it not be more likely that it was the only chance most people had to get hold of ‘the look’ without paying for it. Lets not forget that the clothes were talking about were expensive and unless one was ‘ducking and diving’ there wasn’t many who could afford them.

    What I DO know for sure is that Borg, (and Fila), were big in the mid to late 70’s but the Tennis look had already been around a few years before then. Not looking to piss on anyones fire but the Sportswear trend was first sported by grown up LONDON Mods in the early 70’s as a reference to it’s first outing in the early to mid 60’s. Lets not forget that Fred Perry was BIG in the 60’s and not for sporting reasons.

    Basically EVERY youth trend is in some way connected to Mod as it was the first genuine youth SubCulture to have ‘mass’ appeal.

  402. The Casuals thing did start in Liverpool, around the time of the Charity Shield in August ‘77 against the Mancs. The Reds, if you remeber had just won the European Cup, in addition to the UEFA cup the year before and the match at Wembley was the first instance of those brands being worn instead ofthe usual footy colours, though scarves were in evidence also. There’s to be an exhibition on the movement and the fashion in Liverpool next year sometime at the Walker Art Gallery.

  403. Good to see so many lads still into their clobber. Never really cared so much about the fighting, just more about looking the bollocks in designer labels. Think we’re a dying breed though.

    Posted by southend at 8pm on 18.04.08

  404. I am 41 now and was a mod at school around 79 like most of me mates.The scousers were definately the first ones to cotton on to it around 77-78 closely followed by some of the mancs (perry boys) by 83 most of the original heads had moved on to other diversions.But it was still popular and i remember wearing gear like brown wrangler cords, trimm trabbs,pringle jumper with a nice blue kappa cagoule in around 82-83

    Posted by chris at 6pm on 03.10.08

  405. Top labels in no specific order for me over the years are the early sportswear like Fila, Sergio Tacchini and Ellesse plus .Armani,CP Company(Boneville),John Smedley and Nicole Farhi. As for footwear Timberland moccasins and boots took a bit of beating and trainers such as the Trimm Trab by Adidas and the Torino by Diadora were Terrace classics and a must have. Even though its 25 years since it all started for me it never leaves you and you still check out whats going on up and down the country and its great to see a lot of the old gear coming back again. Great memories reading some of the posts.

    Started in what 1984? by the likes of Gavy,Steff,Ally and co named after the infamous paninaro in Italy
    and developed into a mob of around 200 boys?.
    Remember the infamous train journey from livi to bathgate one saturday nite in the late 80’s with over a 150 boys, oh the memories.
    Made up of hibs,celtic,rangers,aberdeen,hearts casuals this toons mob was a match for any mob in scotland as many mobs found out (including St.johnstone) when the Livi boys turned up in the QOS end for a laugh.
    Trying to remember some names
    in fact i better not in case they want to forget.
    but then again livi was full of gangs thinking about it?

    im down London and have been for 15 years myself

    names? ill go with nicknames that i remember but i wasnt one of them myself

    never mind 200 boys i remember 10 of them standing 70 bathgate / armadale boys in the middle of the steel yard fuckin lunatics.

    met one of them not long after and laughed about the event,i asked what made them tick?
    He replied that they never had a top boy (ever) but when things were looking hairy they would all look at each other and say ‘any cunt runs and your getting it!’ he then quiped you would be better taking one tanking from a rival than getting a tanking every other week by the boys you let down by running,people thought we were radio standing mobs 3 or 4 times bigger but what we really feared was each other.

  417. lol, what are u talking about. “croitz” our top boy! ive beenn running with ASC all my life since 83 anyway! I dont know of anybody called croitz. as for your firm the Utility,they [not taking cheap shoet here] were a joke for the whole of the 80’s . Ask Hibs or Motherwell too. You pulled together some lads for a couple of years in the early 90’s when the scene was won by the police! keyboard warrior indeed. Id actually come out of retirememnt just to shut u up u loudmouth nomark

    To the rest. The 80s seen some exceptional firms in scotland[for its size] ASC,ICF SS were all good in their day. im proabaly biased but would say overall ASC just shaded it over Hibs due to us being at it longer than them and having too many top lads jailed/banned to keep it going when they reached their peek. I rememebr being in buses twice and being turned back on our way to ER! it wasnt worth it by 88’,then we all know what happened. Like most 80’s lads will remember it for the buzz of being part of something new and wasnt led by Glasgow[for us] or London [for UK] but by Northern outposts in NW England and NE Scotland. We were casual 24/7, it was great. Something the new generation will never experience an by the sound of it havent a clue how to behave. Mind you the ronnie loudmouth is letting himself and firm down badly mouthoing off from the safety of akeyboard.Ill excuse him as he is Dundee. if he were Hibs or ASC I would doubt he was even a lad!

  418. Fistly the length of time this post has been going goes to show what the term ‘casual’ means to so many. I’m not gonna post any bullshit such as ‘i remember when 5 of us stood against 50 of your mob’ etc etc. I’d smacked a few faces during the mid / late 80’s and was put on my arse a few times also. Although only involved for about 2/3 years back then it was pretty dam good. Virtually every team had a mob of some sorts back then and the OB not as organised as they are now so a scrap was almost a cert. From what i can recall i’m sure Aberdeen started the ‘casual’ trend in Scotland closely followed by Motherwell. From what i’ve seen in those 2/3 years back in the 80’s and IMHO i’d say the ASC had the biggest mob,CCS only travelled with 150 max (all proven fighters) after that young lad was beaten into a coma by Aberdeen & Perth’s MBS were the best dressed all decked out in Armani, Best Company & Timberlands. One mob that did surprise me with numbers were the Montrose PBSS although they were backed up by Aberdeen. I dare say i’ll get bombarded with pish after this post. For the record i followed the Utility and remember the CCS in Dundee City Centre that the last guy posted.

  419. Valentinos in Perth was one of the first places in Scotland to sell Armani back then , and with the owner being Scots Italian and the lads working in the shop Perth Casuals we were pretty lucky when it came to the latest label must haves getting sourced. He also owned a bar called the Gowrie where the Perth mob drunk and must have made a fortune off us.

    Posted by Jack Mottram at 4pm on 10.03.11

  422. lets get in right in scotland. ASC were the top lads when it counted. yes Hibs challenged us but never.foockin NEVER overtook us. Throwing a petrol bomb at us, then claiming you are number therafter, is a joke. the follwing 3 years saw us take 350+ to every game in edinburgh where we won most and police rest. then we were stopped by police/bannings etc..from travelling[personally i was twice on coaches turned bach fro Hibs,FACT}. all the major battles with ASC n Hibs were in Edinburgh,FACT! you had the odd win on a wednesday night when we were outnumbered but never it a full turn out did you take AC in their day,even blnac gives us this credu=it in his book. his conclusion is we werer similar mobs that had equal results and draws. which by he end of 80’1 early 90’s would agree with,before that we took the piss in edinburgh and Glasgow[wont even mention Dundee in that era as they awere a joke]. anyone who disagrees with these facts simply wasnt here. Im a grown man now and have no reason to lie. Im simply saying it as it was and so do the H*bs lads I know[which is actualy quite a few now]. So all these young Hibs cyber warriors ,keep it reeal, yes you were a test for us away, but not a test we ever ducked from or lost! All this is fact. as i saod you simply wernt there!

    Nowadays the top fim is the Police,youd have to be an idiot to be in a firm now. the police with their ready eye and spotter know exactly who u r. throw a punch at the footbal and youll get 6 months jail,throw a punch on a saturday night and youll get a breach[£150 fine max]. the scenedied in early 90’s as every true lad knows.what we have left is a few dinosaurs and wannabee posers.

    So Ill give Hibs credit but the fact we took it you in Edinburgh all the time when it counted makes us tops ,when we left undeafed or drawn,at worst. Rangers and Celtic n Dundee simply would scrap amongst themselves in firms and get their scarfers to back them when ASC or Hibs came to their place. Thats how it was back n th day. so lets keep it real lads

  425. Hi was just reading the papers and watching the news about the Polish thugs that invaded Dundee for the euro game with utd,trying to fight with families and women doing there shopping in Dundee town centre,shocking there 30 years behind the times.I work with a couple of polish guys and they said sorry for the way there fans behaved,they said Polish hooligans are total wankers and are into hilter and nazis even though he wiped there counrty out during the war.They said all there hooligans take steriods go about with no tops on fighting anyone that gets in there way,even women and children and even rape each other.I think the euro championships in Poland next year should be interesting,thats if it hasnt been moved somewhere else by then as warned by fifa because of all the trouble in Poland just now.England have always been number one when it comes to hoolignism and the casual movemet,just a pity most of the top boys are either to old and not intersted anymore or banned from travelling or it would be like the nazis invading Poland all over again,you never know,Englands young guys might give them a suprise.

  426. Those were the days my friends,having followed Aberdeen Fc all my life home and away,i would have to say Aberdeen and Hibs are by far the two biggest firms in Scotland by miles.Iam 39 and was at school when the casual scene kicked off,most of the top boys of that era were just a few years older and you looked up to them and dressed like them wanted to be like them,in Aberdeen if you wasnt a causual you were the odd one out.Going to school in first year with my two tone Adidas cagoule on and Nike wimbeldons on i thought i was well cool,the fashions changed so quick back then,specially in Aberdeen.You went to Royln sports for your Pringle jumpers,Crombie sports for your Lacoste,Macalls for your Fila,Tacchini and Ellesse,we even had are very own Burberry shop on Union st back then and the prices for Fila,Tacchini,Ellesse etc costed more than they sell them for now.Back then Aberdeen could have 700 to 1000 boys sitting in the south stand,the police used to have road blocks on every street as far as Crown st to stop us getting at the away support.There isnt much firms that have come to Aberdeen in big numbers realy,they probally new what would happen,specially in the 80s.Give Hibs there due they always showed,but like the guy that posted before me,most of the big battles with Hibs were in Edinburgh,i remember Hearts being crazy in the early 80s all skin heads in crombie jackets,but as a casual firm forget it.Motherwell had a decent firm,but Aberdeen showed then who was boss.Celtic had hardly any casuals,but most of there fans would fight like Rangers back then.I used to like going to Dundee back then,they would wait at the train station for you,then Aberdeen used to chase then all the way to Dens or Tannadice,they would be thowing anything they could get there hands on at you,it wasnt punches you had to look out for it was bottles,stones,bricks.Rangers would only show if they had there English friends with them and still got battered.It just shows how Aberdeen were so organised and had the numbers way before most firms even in England.I was still going to games in the 90s but there wasnt much happening,havent been to a game for a few years now,but have been told the casual scene is pretty much dead in Scotland.I rembember the first time i got lifted before a Aberdeen v Rangers game at Pittodrie in the late 80s,i got a £50 fine,you would get the jail for that now,not worth it anymore,if only you could turn back time,must be getting old.

  427. 1984 MBS . Everybody was 16 and unde , Top boys 15-20. Best mobs 90 - 100. Average mob 50. Better dressed than every mob we came across not including Aberdeen. I can’t talk for everyone but my group got plenty of violence out of the 5 years we did it- got the record to prove it. Armani Armani Armani that’s all most boys wore with us. End of MBS rangers semi final at parkhead - smashed to bits. Hibs in Perth 1990-91 was the final straw. Best days of my life never will be forgotten.

    Think the old acid years and raves put them to rest but I agree with a previous comment that if livinston fc had been around 10 years before? .

    Good boys

    FACE THE FACTS YOUR ONLY CLAIM TO FAME WAS BEING “ONE” OF THE FIRST CLUBS TO START THE CASUALISM SCENE UP HERE.
    BAR THAT YOUVE DONE FUCK ALL WORTH MENTIONING.

  434. ‘lsd till i die’. lsd werent even on your radar in scotland. there were 3 firms in scotland worth talking about Hibs,ICF and ASC. ASC were the orginals and biggest firm about until police rapped them up in early 90’s. surethere were still bits and pieces for the next 10years but we all knew it was over. The 80’s was the casual era it died then. The 00’s were about chav posers who were an embarressment to the firms that went before. These 3 all had their time at the top at various times,the facts are though,when it countred in the 80’s, ASC couldnt be touched. Yes Hibs gave it a go and done well. Hand on heart they just didnt do enough to takew the crown from the NE. Gers ICF only played at home and when their scarfers were on their side. This proved a test for ASC n Hibs,but firm on firm,these 2 were defo better than Gers ICF[they know it. Eitherway good days,as everyone has said, never to be forgotten! Pity our once thriving Scottish league where the casuals run about in the 80’s is a shadow of its self. We will probably be a replica of the Welsh l;eague sooner rathe than later! Thank fuck w have memories or it would be grim![must be how Celtic,Utility and Hearts lads feel like,lolwhat a waste of time that 3 are/were]

  435. “Then a little later - 1978-9 - scally supporters of Liverpool FC found themselves at a loose end in French and Italian city centres, thanks to their club’s European successes, and took the opportunity to acquire (or, more accurately, steal) sports- and causal-wear they knew fellow and rival supporters back home had no chance of finding.”

    Sorry mate, but that simply isn’t true. In both 1978/79 and 1979/80 Liverpool were knocked out in the first round of the European Cup, by Nottingham Forest and Dynamo Tblisi respectively.

    They did win the cup in 1977/78, but the final was played at Wembley.

  436. we all know the clothes in 80’s n 90’s so wont bore you all repeating it
    we all knw the top 3 in scotland as the only real football firms who could/did mix it with the engksh lads when it counted

    ASC-1st till polie broke t=our backs in late 80’s early 90’s.
    2nd Hibs- the old hbs were good test in edinburgh.never did anything up here worhy of mention#
    3r ‘gers ICF[lol,stupid name] they let themselves down badly by not keeping it lads on oads. their knuckle draggng scarfiers who could fight,the violent fuckers, backed them up by thousands when we went there

    these are the facts.argue if u wam]nt but 1 you wernt there or 2 you are too biased to admit the truth

    eitherway rewriting of history on this site is laughable.do you not all remember the casual firms from Aberdeen wiping out your dour cities/towns. i did every other saturday for 10 years

    argue on ,i wont be back to listen to the trash cyber warrior shite

    i know and so so the lads all over scotland.respect and thanks for the meories to all ASC lads,Hibs and gres. The rest played at it or came out afetr it was policed out for a pose about
    anyway too old and couldnt give shite who is no1[lol] in a non existant battle table. It simple doesnt happen
    keep it real
