Clarks, the shoes that tap to Jamaica's reggae beat How did the brand become the music genre's footwear of choice? Tom Horan reveals the history of a strange love affair

CB200 such a great album. Loved how that bike was the epitome of cool in Jamaica but in the UK was the the 'company car' for traffic wardens. Lead me to the discovery of the deification of Clark's shoes in Jamican reggae lore.

Sent me down an interesting rabbit hold of musicians that were also top athletes. Julio Iglesias stands out as a GK but also good to know that Alice Cooper was a decent cross country runner.

Reminds me of the time an Oxford nightclub advertised a PA by "Peter AndreX" with the X placed to look like it was a kiss, but it was actually a bloke with six toilet rolls taped to his stomach.
