I was shopping over the weekend with my boyfriend, and never a pair to spend money, we headed into our favourite sportswear clothier, Sport Soccer. Its own brand, Donnay is of regular quality, includes, socks, underwear, jumpers, track bottoms, trainers and various sports equipment for below the average price.

A training jumper cost only £8 while a department store brand top would cost me almost triple the price. Donnay offers a wide range of colours, sizes, styles and price. Their trainers are a good price for children's sizes, but you may want to be weary of the adult ones as the quality is a bit questionable. Of course, if you're looking for something to paint your house in, £16 for some trainers isn't bad at all!

If it is a name brand item you are looking for, Sport Soccer carries them as well. Nike, Umbro, Adidas, Rebok and Fila are among some of the more popular names and the apparel is all generally on for half the price that Nike World, Debenham's or JD Sports would offer. The selection on name brand items is not necessarily the best, but I would certainly check to make sure Sport Soccer does not have the item before heading into JJB's, JD, Intersport or any of the other sportswear shops. My boyfriend bought a Nike training jacket for £25 and the JJB sport across the road carried the exact style and colour for £40.

The clothing items sold are not seconds, damaged items or irregular sizes they are simply past season stock or simply overstock from the main high street branches sold at discount prices. I have never questioned the quality of sportswear purchased from them, and although the street cred of carrying a Sport Soccer bag is not as high as any other sportswear shop, you'll be the one laughing when you pay up to half the price for the same item of clothing someone is carrying in a 'cool' bag.
