Title: When the cats away
Post by: 97notout on February 10, 2013, 11:04:35 AM: The mice will play.................or I get my glove collection out safe in the knowledge the wife is out and won't find out the true extent of my problem(http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa447/97notout/bae0fae93d9e2fddb6934fc9d83d7699_zpsa1b3dd32.jpg)

I think I need another pair just to round the number off.

The SG's top left are a small size and are for sale if anyone is interested ;)

Post by: 97notout on February 10, 2013, 11:55:46 AM: The beige ones Tom are some Alan Knott 'Club' model gloves, they are super supple and the facing is hanging off them but you could use them in a game no problem.

The red gloves are Alan Knott ' Test' I got my first pair (the ones to the right of the beige ones) in 1977. They were a popular glove and there wasn't too many keepers in the Birmingham league at the time who wasn't wearing a pair.

Sounds daft but I didn't realise how many pairs I actually had :D

Post by: Scoop on August 17, 2013, 12:16:48 PM: Impressive. Are the DF Steve Rhodes?

What's missing? The classic Kook silver ( all black) and some grey long cuff GN Jeff Dujon !

BTW which brand did Jack Russel use?

Post by: cricketboy2010 on August 17, 2013, 01:41:28 PM: Are the white kooks at the top Kanga leather?
Title: Re: When the cats away
Post by: 97notout on August 17, 2013, 07:27:40 PM: The Kooks are Kangaroo leather, I sold them to our 2nd eleven keeper for a tenner. The Black DF's are Jack Richards. Not in particularly good condition cuff wise but still a useable glove.

The Evo's went to Soulman, Jack Russell used Kooks for a while and had his own signature model. then he had his gloves made by Graham Plimmer.

Apart from my Wymers and the red Alan Knotts next to the beige ones I'm open to offers for the rest of them

Title: Re: When the cats away
Post by: 97notout on September 02, 2013, 09:07:00 PM: Match gloves were the Alec Stewarts, I say were as I have retired due to injury, so a few pairs have gone and others are for sale ;)
