Can’t remember where my white Alan Ball boots came from. My older sister worked at Shoe Fayre at the time near the cenotaph but I’m guessing that it probably would have been Asbestos.
First boots from Asbestos were plastic wipe clean George Best boots. They squeaked like someone shagging a mouse.
Was that the black & purple Stylo boot? If so, I had a pair of those - they were definitely style over substance, uncomfortable as **** and dropped to bits in under a season
I never had white boots because after a couple of games they looked like ****e when playing in ankle deep mud.
I got my first boots from Pools Corner, pair of George Bests, out of the bargain bucket, we was so poor we could only dream of Boyes.

Back to ARCO and boots... got a pair of Adidas 2000 from there in the 70's, really expensive but best boots I've ever had.
