Talking about yourself again. You'll be telling me how a heroic Dave Sexton saved the club next. Prick...

Oh... and Oakey signed his first contract with Coventry after Milne arrived.

Who was Team Manager when Stein and Hutchison were signed Now bore off and stop trying to pretend you're smart.

I'm relying on having supported the club and been a season ticket holder for decades. I am also relying in my acquaintance with now former playing staff and club officials. You, on the other hand, appear to rely upon just making up bollocks and hoping nobody challenges it. I remember Dave...

Of course, Edwards went on to have a successful career as 'Beaker' in the Muppets.

Dabo for me.

You're a joke. Grasping at straws as you seek to troll other posters. A number of clubs were interested in signing Collier. It is clear we made money when we sold him. You were wrong... again... and too arrogant to admit it... again. Gordon Milne was 'Team Manager' in 1972 and this is...

I agree with you, he looked terrified and completely out of his depth. Funny thing is people never seem to remember him very well.

Gary Collier was signed from Bristol City under freedom of contract - the tribunal set the transfer fee at £325,000. Coventry sold to Portland Timers in early 1980 for £365,000 (this figure was widely reported in the press at the time) - so the Sky Blues actually made £40,000 on this transfer...

Oh, I think you'll find there were plenty of successful signings ..and he didn't sign a podgy, washed-up midfielder and then leave an Irish international out of the team because of personal spite.

Gordon Milne was very underrated at Coventry - his 1977-78 Coventry team was one of my favourites. His later record in Turkey shows what a great manager he really was - but we decided to go with Dave Sexton instead.

No, my mistake. You are right and I am wrong. The Gibson hat-trick, the Rush 4 and the 8-2 drubbing all happened in the same season.

The score was 7-2. I don't remember the scoreboard thing, possibly it was done after the final whistle (like they did for Mick Ferguson). I do remember the size of the gate was pitiful and the club didn't do a proper programme for the match, it was some flimsy cut down version.

Well remembered! It was Ian Rush who got 4 against us, but it was the season after Gibson got his hat-trick (that season Rush only managed 3 against us at Anfield - lightweight). The 4 goals by Rush were scored in one of the matches when Gould insisted on playing Perry Suckling in goal and we...

That's the stuff, think positive.

Positive thinking, it's much better for you than all that doom and gloom stuff. 3 points should do nicely today. PUSB

Two hat-tricks in the same game by Coventry players. I think that would have been a first for the club.

Clarrie scored 5 in one game - two other Coventry players have done this, Cyrille Regis and Arthur Bacon.

Yep, Tony Dobson. Nick Pickering also played fullback more than once and others 'filled-in'.

Poor Greggie Downs, he always cops flack... As I recall, Paul Edwards made Greg Downs look like Marcelo. Also, Downs wasn't the only left back we used in the 1987-8, 1988-90 seasons (he only played 27 and 20 league games in these seasons, Smith played 13 and 34).
