Do you remember these companies?

That’s in Burwood Westfield

Oh cool. The pictured one is the George Street branch, circa 1980s. Was a treat to go there. But, as a kid I was a regular at the one that was in Bankstown Square, and occasionally the one at Westfield Liverpool.

Not only do I remember it, but in about 2007 I bought a retro WSC uniform to wear to the Movember party at Luna Park when I went as Merv Hughes - oh to be carefree and frivolous again .

Are they just online these days?

I remember as an 18 year old when I first moved to the "big smoke", I went to the city store and was amazed at the range of jerseys there.

I'm sure it's open, well pre-lockdown.

Google search shows it's in the same location.

On Parramatta Road was the largest car yard outlet. Had one at Cabramatta as well.
He was a race car driver and unfortunately committed suicide.

Were they the ones that had black textas where you had to write the price on the item to be manually entered by the check-out chick? So primative .
