Football Casuals. None more so.

Loved being part of it all, had some great trips, made some great friends, had some brilliant laughs, but anyone who's still at it is a bit of a dinosaur. Also, today's version generally...

1. Dress like shite and don't really get the original aesthetic principle

2. Are fairly pathetic in numbers.

I don't regret it for a moment, but find it amazing that there is an appetite for it amongst younger people these days (and older people who should have packed it in)
