Bolwells in blsckwood was great for those into their Adidas Gazelle, Jeans etc, the locals didn't seem as enthusiastic about purchasing them as the football boys from cardiff.

Tommy Rees. He was a friend of my Dad’s and was an official (maybe a ref even?) in Welsh boxing. And maybe amateur football.
It is a bit hazy! But I remember my Dad taking me there to get some football boots when I was in junior school.

Me and a few mates were heading to the Philharmonic, when all of a sudden, this car just reversed straight into the windows of Giles Sports.
The following 10/15 minutes were complete mayhem. I’ve never seen a place get emptied as quick as that!!
The place was overwhelmed in minutes, with folk grabbing what ever they could.
I got some golf clubs, trainers and a baseball bat 😂😂😂
Welsh people carrying out a ram raid, you say....
