Gola

[moathibby]

I'm considering of going on a mission to try and revive the fortunes of Gola and in particular the Gola Harrier, which you can get in a fetching Green and White,I want to take on the predominance of the Black and White Vans which are swamping the market at the moment.Does anyone else feel like joining me in this quest?

Not really! Gola was seen as one step up from 'Woolies' own brand.

Puma and Adidas only.

Back then.......

I think you’d have more joy with Dunlop green flash

Mt first and only ever pair of football boots were gola. First time I used them I took them to school to play in a friendly game that was really just whoever wanted to play. Left one boot in the changing room, never saw it again....career ending disaster :roll:

Golas gave you sore feet. As pointed out, they were of the same quality as Winfield Two Stripes.

At my school in the mid-80’s you may have got ripped for wearing Gola’s. Not as bad as Dunlop’s or PanAms mind you. Hi-Tecs were probably right on the borderline of social respectability IIRC

I think my first boots were those George Best black and white ones. They didn’t fit properly and I got sent off once when my boot came off and his the oppo’s goalie square in the face. Blood and snotters...

Agreed but if you were like me you couldn’t lace them up properly.

(Admittedly I think mine were probably the Woolworths version).

I've had the dark green and white ones for a while and think they're great and very comfy

Hi-tec, Dunlop, gola - Britain didn’t do trainers very well. Reebok had success in the 90s but their shoes were pretty honking. Any others?

British Knights? Hahaha

 

[beefy]

I've got a pair in the cupboard. I'll dig them oot.

Very stashy by the way but IIRC very uncomfortable.


Being a fashion guru is bane sometimes...Ho hum....

Never worn them for that reason although you get some without the UJ.
