The question is who was the first to wear the colourway that would subsequently change the fashion in football boots?
In the 1996 FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Liverpool, John Barnes was wearing white boots of a brand that I did not recognize. In that game Cantona scored a volley in the 85th minute that seal his comeback in that very season. During the prematch ceremony, the Liverpool lads turn up at the old Wembley in White designer suits so shocking that back then the press called them as the "Spice Boys". Before that match also, John Barnes's 'Anfield Rap' shot to #3 in the U.K. music chart. Salute!
