80s Casual Classics Paul Anderson

Paul Anderson Romford Store Visit Recap

The legendary Peaky Blinders star, Paul Anderson, joined us at our recently opened Romford store last weekend for a bit of a meet & greet.

If you had to name one of the most iconic scenes from The Firm from 2009, it's got to be that opening scene where we get the first glimpse of Bex's rather impressive wardrobe as he swaggers across his "manor" to Kool & The Gang's post disco funk track 'Get Down On It'. Product placement at its very finest, the Ellesse Rimini full tracksuit has probably never looked so good thanks to Anderson's portrayal of the physcotic 80s football hooligan. The Firm would lead to a range of other notable roles for the London born actor such as playing Arthur Shelby in Peaky Blinders, featuring in season two of Top Boy & starring alongside the likes of Taron Egerton & Jamie Foxx in Otto Bathurst's 'Robin Hood' from 2018. Last weekend the legendary South London actor paid a little trip to our Romford store for a celebration of full tracksuits, some classic one liners & an opportunity for some signed memorabilia.
