Mid 80s was when I first discovered it Harry. Probably the only place outside of Norwich you could get that kit.

Hello John – Yes Soccer Scene are still going, now down the far end of Carnaby Street. They had a period in Oxford St as well near HMV but have gone back to their spiritual home. When I used to frequent there regularly they actually had 2 stores – one with all the latest gear and a quieter one in a side street of Carnaby St that sold old stuff, past seasons kits etc.

Soccer Scene! Great memories there John, thanks! Not seen a Soccer Scene since 1998. It was football heaven. Those hummel designs catch the eye, very 80’s!

Wow that takes me back to weekly visits to my local Inter-Sport. That said, they never had such a wide collection as that…all you could buy was Liverpool, Man U, Arsenal, Everton and England…mind you, go into any JJBs these days and it seems nothing has changed…

Hello Chris – you’re right, I think the owners used to get a bit annoyed with me as I browsed so much! Still bought quite a bit from there though. The first catalogues I have are A4, later ones are A5.

Blimey, John – that brings back some memories. I used to LOVE my occasional visits to Soccer Scene back in the late-80’s/early-90’s.

I was even lucky enough to buy one or two international shirts from there too, but quite honestly it was more than enough of a thrill to just wander round looking at the thousands of shirts they had on sale.

You didn’t need to buy anything to have a great time in that place!
