mac Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Oh my god, yes, and don't forget college jerseys, they had the two rings round the upper arm of the sleeve. Jax was the first place I ever bought clothes for myself - you've either got it, or you've not. (I didn't, and still haven't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remenber Alan Smith who owned Smiths menswear, top guy used to have the company name stenciled on the back of the main stand seats. I worked in the bank he used & I recall he obtained for me, centre stand tickets for the bayern Munich game. ?20 quid a pop expensive in those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
