After the skinhead and boots era passed, and as casualdom took hold, it eventually dawned on the police that those lads in smart sportswear with expensive trainers and the wedge cuts were hooligans. Lads needed to divert further. Out came plain pullovers, darker trainers, black leather ...
The three friends quickly rushed across to the stand and did not notice that the narrow street, darkened under the shadow of the structure, was busy with an array of match day activity; grizzly old men selling programmes, young boys selling cheap paper rosettes, wise-cracking spivs selling roa...
Best Chelsea Boots I’ve owned Great boots, I went down a full size from my typical shoe/brannock size. The fit is great for me. I think these are well made and should last quite awhile. I am wearing these casually, I got the black harness leather and I like the black wedge sole...
motorcycle boots, and a leaky harmonium to become the Godmother of Goth, lived and loved in the Chelsea Hotel over several stretches in the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Check out this month’s issue of theBrooklyn Rail, where I review Jennifer Otter ...
The legendary Nico, the blond, Germanic Ice Queen who fronted the Velvet Underground before darkening her image with heroin, motorcycle boots, and a leaky harmonium to become the Godmother of Goth, lived and loved in the Chelsea Hotel over several stretches in the sixties, seventies, and eightie...

“You’ve got some big boots to fill, mate.” But Carlisle. Phew, that’s some train ride. Respect. There was pre-match chat with Oxford Frank and we were both hoping for another three points to maybe edge closer, or even past, Manchester United and Newcastle United. Our team? It wa...
Note George Weah’s white boots. In truth, this was a poor game. The first-half was very mundane with precious few strikes on goal. Chances increased after the break with Chelsea enjoying more of them. Midway through the second-half, Dennis Wise scored for us with a close-in prod after...
With the end of the first-half approaching, Conor Gallagher made a fine run between two defenders but Enzo – new hair colour, new pink boots – over hit the ball. On forty-two minutes, a lightning break caught us out but Karim Benzema, rather quiet thus far, overstretched and missed. ...
I met up with Elicia and Madeka underneath Peter Osgood’s boots and put the borrowed season tickets safely away. “Sorry that we lost. Sorry it was so quiet.” “Oh my. There were some angry people near us.” “I can imagine. I bet you heard some bad words, right.” “We did....
