Shaun Owen - 12th Man Retro
As part of her homework, Vick's had the task of setting up a couple of interviews and bringing her guests to the show without spilling too much about them to Alex. And today's guest is a fantastic one. Meet Shaun Owen, the proud proprietor of 12th Man Retro, a gem of a store nestled in The Parade Shopping Centre in Shrewsbury. If you’re a fan of football, especially vintage kits, this place is a must-visit. Shaun’s shop is the go-to spot for retro football shirts spanning all eras of the game.
You might be wondering, "What's so special about a football shirt?" Well, in this episode, we dive deep into that question. It's not just fabric and logos – there's an undeniable wave of nostalgia that comes with seeing a legendary player’s name on the back of a shirt. Take, for example, one of Shaun's prized possessions – a Robbie Fowler Liverpool shirt. Not only was it one of his personal favourites, but it was also one of the first shirts he ever sold. And as Shaun explains, parting with it felt like losing a little piece of his soul.
When someone’s passion for a hobby grows into a collection that spills onto the rails of a clothes store, you know there's an incredible story to be told. And in this episode, we’re all about sharing that story. Big shoutout to Vicks for putting together such a brilliant episode!
Don't forget to visit 12th Man Retro and check out all the other amazing businesses at The Parade Shopping Centre. The Shrewsbury Biscuit has some great memories from our time there.
