We can recall ads for Dirty Sports appearing in the football press in the summer of 1995, with the adidas strips of Liverpool and Newcastle United being the most common.
This catalogue is from two years later – both clubs are given prominence here, along with Manchester United and Everton. The business was headquartered in Liverpool, hence the focus on that part of the country.
By contrast, Arsenal and Chelsea only get cursory mentions while it is a Tottenham Hotspur-free zone.
It’s interesting to note the growing availability of alternative shorts for kits, while there is just one goalkeeper shirt shown.
We’re not sure if they’re still trading – it’s not the easiest business name to search for online – but these images certainly evoke a feeling of a time and place.
About CR Smith, I have an answer for the question you wrote. They are still trading in the home improvement business (i had to search ‘CR Smith Scotland’) and have their headquarters in Dunfermline.
Oops… I misunderstood the question… About Dirty Soccer, it’s hard indeed to search online. I got mixed up.
