1. Ankle high Patrick boots

Unbelievably, you still see these boots on a rugby pitch every now and again; they are such a budget thing to be associated with, and by that I don’t mean the cost. You just know that any forward wearing this kind of retro footwear and other bits of uncool kit like stick mitts is going to be distinctly average in ability. TRP VERDICT: Stick the boot in why don’t you! We agree, though, they are hell for leather.
