Big Geordie Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Used to tuck your shirt in to your shorts or did you let it hang out? I remember seeing Chris Waddle wearing his shirt not tucked in during his Marseille days (I think), so I always did the same. Did used to roll my football socks up though - I wasn't a total tramp!

Never a tucker. Still aren't with shirts and tees. I was also a cuff holder proper 70s winger style. For the school team our teacher/manager insisted we tucked in....I did until kick off then pulled out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Used to always keep mine out but it made me think of a guy I played with all the time that, for absolutely no reason, used to purposefully wear 3XL shirts (he was a M at most) as a joke and would tuck them in. It made me laugh every time. (he’s back left) Edited November 1, 2022 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't tuck them in now - same with shirts (unless dressed formally), tshirts, etc. Was just something about Waddle doing it, that stuck with me. Indeed, I think he may have done it during WC 90? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Sometimes had a manager that made us tuck it in. Always had it out given the choice. Thought looked dorkish tucked in. Would roll my sleeves up too on this long sleeve shirts most kids kits were, especially on a cold day, to look like I was up for it. Especially if I was up against a player with their hands tucked inside their sleeves looking like they didn't want to be there. I must've looked dead hard, I was as skinny and short as anything.

MagMal Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Tucked out, long sleeves and half the time socks half way down my shin pads!, I remember one ref who kept telling me to pull my socks up. I was right footed and either played as a nippy left winger cutting in and scoring a few goals or Stu Pierce style left back flipping people up in the air, I'm only 5'7" so pretty much used to launch myself into tackles, f'ing used to love playing until beer and fags ?

madras Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Late 70s early 80s we also rocked the tracksuit top as day wear, long time before it became a terrace trend with Fila, Ellesse etc. We were Adidas, Le coq and gola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Shirt out. Shorts long. Loved to give a good kickin to those who thought they were good with their socks down! No -nonsense centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 6'8, I've never been quick or one for getting stuck in. Could ping a long pass or a cross though! i was never that good, but I loved playing during my Uni days, and was well up for the team craic as well. Good times. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirt tucked in, laces tied around the boots, socks up to just below the knee. Always short sleeve if possible. Pretty much the crack for me. Long sleeve actually looks smarter though.

Kanji Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 had to have them tucked in at kick off, immediately untucked right after...socks pulled up over the knees like Henry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Definite shirt out where allowed (at certain levels they just wouldn't let you) Liked the casual look of not really trying at least partially inspired by Waddle also. And long sleeves wherever possible. Liked things baggy generally, was the Madchester era. Edited November 1, 2022 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
