Im Harveys Son. Dad was born in Sheffield and followed (and loved) his Sheffield wednesday owls. Had this jacket specially made up for him. Probably so his relatives in England could see him on TV wearing the teams colours as a hommage to his loved team. Hope this helps! Peace. i Still have his SWFC scarf hung up on my wall.

New Year 1977, a friend of mine and I went to his girlfriends house to celebrate the incoming of 1977! Unfortunately she had a bad case of shingles. So in Bulawayo there was a fountain where everyone went to bring in the New Year! I'm looking around for my friend and I found him snogging his girlfriends sister! When we all eventually got home we were greeted by this song being played at volume 45! Go figure!
