Ridgewalk Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 You get this reference all the time in discussions about the 60s and 70s. As a regular at United matches During this period I don't remember seeing it, although it may have just pass me by. I remember mid 1970's everyone wearing donkey jackets to matches, a celebration of hard working class culture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadablade Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It was not massively common, i.e. not everyone did it, but I do remember some lads in Silver Doc Martens (normal ones sprayed silver), and also remember someone wearing Loafers sprayed silver as well. Blades wore Silver Remember the Blades lads who liked a beer and the occasional fisticuffs singing to the tune of Chuck Berrys my ding a ling My silver boots my silver boots I want you to play with my silver boots :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobinfoot Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I had silver DM's back in the 70's the News of the world did a series on football hooligans and they mentioned that the Blades & Owls fans wore silver or gold boots to identify themselves.

Plain Talker Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 No Abbey, I know Blades who had silver DM boots as well as Gold, I don't think the colour meant anything other than it was the era of Glam Rock. ---------- Post added 07-02-2014 at 23:02 ---------- Ox Blood was a dark colour, in the mid 70's there was a polish called "Tonette" which was a lighter colour, very cool!!! If you used the oxblood coloured polish on a light coloured shoe (eg white, beige, grey, or cream, etc) you could get the most fantastic purple-y-pink-y red colour. I did this a few times on white or cream shoes which had started to look tatty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
