When I was a nipper.......Roy's Sports in Wigston.

An Aladdin's cave of all things sport. Footie boots, trainers, my first football strip, Subbuteo, snooker cues, etc, etc.

All in a shop no bigger than your downstairs toilet!!

I thought of Roy's too!

Used to cycle down on weekends and buy subbuteo parts.

Video Box on Saffron Lane. Smelled of fags inside but I was always there, renting italia 90 for the megadrive.

Lewis's, revolver and woolworths.

Another World on Silver Street, used to go in there at least once a week back in the late eighties, early ninties.

Then they went all twilighty :xmasangry: and lost most of their custom and then returned to being the Forbidden Planet but it just is not the same.

Years ago their used to be a big toy shop at the top of Uppingham Road opposite Sparrow Park. Anyone remember what it was called? I think it's a fireplace showroom now...

"The Offie" on Clarendon Park Road - independent off-licence with a superb range of British & foreign ales.

Great place. Still there isn't it?

Took a special trip out there years back as it was only place we could find that sold Kölsch.
