In The Deep Midwinter.

 

AFC Sudbury V St Albans City- it's the glamour fixture of the year.

Got to make a special effort for this one, even if it is October and the monsoon season is upon us once more. You give everyone the eye, up and down, whilst inwardly nodding your approval or vociferously announcing your disdain. I'm in my new Fila ski coat, with the lemon yellow Pringle underneath, light grey Lee cords and the Diadora Pat Cash's. Robbo has gone for the classic timeless elegance of the Berghaus Puffa jacket, with dark brown Lois cords and his all too familiar thick soled Pumas. Beckett, meanwhile, strikes a note of individuality, not only through his dramatically silouhetted Wedge hair cut but also by carefully juxtaposing his US college style Lacoste jacket with dark blue Levis and these New Balance jogging shoes. The All American Kid himself. Simon provides the complimentary subdued note of Autumnal tones through his innovative, yet playful, use of cream Aquascutum jacket, diamond Pringle V neck and beige Clark's desert boots. And so, like bright metal upon sullen ground, we stand out in sharp relief when set against the latest style crimes perpetrated by the Piper brothers and others of their ilk. Meanwhile, Leon moans on about how everyone's getting into it now...they're all [****!!****]' clones...too easy to get good gear now...got to get into something else..... Grouse Shooting Begins. It turns out that the little old dear's shop on the High Street has finally shut down. Bankrupt. Or bankrupted more like, by continual raiding of the stock by eager young style warriors. It's been a mad few months, with everyone getting out of the sports stuff into this weird new style. Since just after spring, all these characters started parading through the local housing estates dressed in full country gent gear. It started off with Burberry scarves and sweaters. Then Aquascutum jackets and shirts. Next thing you know, we're all kitted out in Deerstalkers, Barbour waxed jackets and green cords, plus the essential accessories - golfing umbrellas and stout Churchill Brogues. I'm putting good money on the appearance of green wellies in the next fortnight - Leon's giving me 4 - 1.
