Jacks def one of the worst.

Pompey,Leeds,Chelsea,Wigan,Newport County were excellent dressers.

I think casual culture was as big in Cardiff as any city in the U.K. I always remember seeing obscure adidas on the bob bank and wondering where they got them as I was well into them late 80's. not only would I find out about bizarre outlets like bolwells in Blackwood, obscure shops in London and even abroad, fans travelled all over to get them like clothes aswell. Away trips to the smoke often ended up as shopping trips as the match itself was overlooked. Shops like woodies, pavilion and chessman kept it going but most went far and wide to look the part. Something we used to love taking the piss out of the clueless jacks about as they bounced about in tight jeans and white socks long after the 80's had passed by.....

West Ham were all crew cuts and flight jackets - fearsome late 70s early 80's...

They were all about rucking, not shopping.
