Deuce Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 It definitely became extremely uncool to tuck your shirt in at a certain age. Wearing shinguards was also faux pa, but ref would make you do the ol’ shin knock before he let you play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cattletrucked Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Never tucked in and a cuff holder like Terry Mac and I think Tony Green did too, well that’s how I saw it in my mind anyway 😂. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the crack for me. Long sleeve actually looks smarter though. This. If I did have a long sleeve shirt, sleeves would be rolled up however.

Jaqen Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 This made me think, at professional level you basically see tiny shinpads but if you played Sunday league you'd basically always have the strongest ones possoble with the biggest ankle protectors you could. Was like putting armour on before a game and to be fair they were needed, two footer legbreakers and you wouldn't even see a yellow card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever wore pads was Sunday league....... didn't protect me from the lunges from behind. Nightmare scenario of technique to get past but no pace to keep away.

TheBrownBottle Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Shirt out was de rigueur. One lad I know for a while insisted on bandaging up a hand a la Daveeeeed. This included games of head and volleys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattfare Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Didn't play football competitively, but I played floorball. Since the club wasn't that big the shirts had to be shared between the different teams, with all of the shirts being of the same size. Since I'm only 157 cm - 5´ 1,5´´ the shirts almost reached down to my knees and I had to tuck them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my latter years as a shit league centre half I used to love playing against some kid who did that, who could flick a ball over his head and catch it on the back of his neck but couldn't/wouldn't pass a ball 5 yards. I'm sad to say I took great delight in 'getting one in early' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
