Northern Monkeys: Dressing and Messing at the Match and More, as Told by the Lads Who Were There - Softcover
Synopsis
This staggeringly wide ranging book spans the evolution of terrace fashion from its deep roots at the end of the Second World War through youth cults, northern working class hang outs, music, football and how those who have been touched by this world have emerged and influenced different areas of life and culture. All stories are told over almost 400 pages with the original voices of more than 40 upstanding Northern Monkeys, ranging from blokes touching seventy years of age, right through the spectrum down to teenagers of today and on how they perceive the subcultures/non-cults of 2012. As well as authentic nostalgic tales of ordinary madness, of a tender and sometimes violent northern life, there are new twists and insights on our shared history from respected authors like Dave Hewitson - "The Liverpool Boys are Back in Town" - telling of Cunard Yanks bringing back goods to British shores from around the world and Scouse fixation for being first in, best dressed; Phil Thornton, author of "Casuals", reflecting on the development of the scruff look in the mid-1980s and untold tales of 2-Tone by Ian Hough - "Perry Boys" in his unique lucid style. Tales of Mods, Boot Boys and Hippies. Skinheads, Scooter Boys and Soulies, taking the reader on a journey through icon landmarks like The Twisted Wheel, Blackpool Mecca, The Golden Torch and Wigan Casino. But for all the recognition that casual/dressers/football lads changed fashion and culture - was it a northern thing? West Ham terrace legend Cass Pennant has his say with tales of travelling 'op noff' in the Seventies for football and visiting Northern Soul venues. The book also features exclusive interviews with the entrepreneurs who made fortunes - such as Liverpool retailer Robert Wade-Smith, adidas brand guru Gary Aspden and Barry Bown, the boss of JD Sports. So much more than a book about football casuals, Northern Monkeys is the untold chronicle of working class street fashion. Real people's history.
