MAGnets - links to Coventry City FC

[pie_in_shanghai]

Onwards and upwards.  Whilst a bit of gloom surrounded meadow lane on Sunday evening, and not all of it was post-bonfire-related, things could be worse...

 

Fans of the Sky Blues have been through the proverbial in recent seasons, and - despite being "sent to Coventry" having positive connotations since their return to the Ricoh - their FA Cup exit at home to Worcester must rank as a new recent low.

 

Was that their "Havant a clue" moment?

 

So - links between us two clubs, think there's a few, so I'll start with a trio;

 

- Brian Kilcline

- Leon Best

- Dele Adebola.

 

 

Over to you...

some good answers within the opening 30mins - PTID already again pulling some guddens out of the bag!

[pie_in_shanghai]

and a possible yellow card for myself, having read that leon best never played for us only as a youth player???

 

I'll throw Onnie Ackson into the mix, and guess what key isnt working on this laptop!!!!!!

oh my, I am starting to remember some, some are good and well some aren't

 

David Bell

Raddy

Peggy

[DangerousSausage]

David Pipe.

It's about time they had a break (but not against us!). I can't quite imagine what it's actually like to support a team that hasn't finished in the top six since the swinging sixties.

[PTID1862]

all those of a nervous disposition, look away now...

 

Larry Lloyd

Didn't Clive Platt go to them after Colchester?

Not many of you will remember Terry Bly in 1963 he moved from Coventry to Notts he played 29 games and scored 4 goals for us.

[PTID1862]

@tonyhateley remember him, I wasn't even a twinkle

[Fan of Big Tone 𝕏 @mainstandpie]

My memories are vague but I seem to remember being excited about this great new goal scorer we had signed only to find out he didn't cut the mustard. Sound familiar?

[PTID1862]

Good grief, that would be a long list....

 

When was the last time we had a Keegan/Toshack, Sutton/Shearer, Sharp/Heath, type partnership? One that just oozed goals

 

Not counting Hughes/Rodgers, as I feel Rodgers didn't get enough to be classed like that

Jones/Farrell in Big Sam's reign?

[liampie]

[PTID1862]

@liampie, thanks for that memory jogger...
