I disagree. I doubt he was aware that the Huddersfield player was there. The ball was laid back to him, he went to shoot, the Huddersfield player, bravely it has to be said, dived in between Hamer and the ball. I don't see how he has committed a foul. He didn't knowingly contact their player.

He did, but he must also have thought that the last incident was a foul. I would question whether it was.

Robins said he was out for 2 games.

I thought that booking was really harsh. He was trying to shoot, never even looked at their player.

After the Wycombe player made the tackle the referee was surrounded by about 6 Bournemouth players. He must have told Cooke that he was sending the Wycombe guy of as Cooke nodded at him and then proceeded to push his own team mates back, calling off the possee, before the Wycombe player was...

Just looked it up. Two up in 15 mins. both goals from Cross, then Everton got one back before half time. Cross and Alan Green scored again second half.

I think if they had used the points per game based on home and away performances and then on home and away games left, Wycombe would I have missed out. This seemed to me to be the fairer system but for some reason wasn't adopted. What can't be denied is that given their chance in the play offs...

Extract from an article on Coventry's International players published in PUSB! (the club programme). By this time Tommy – and Tony Green who went to Newcastle – were the outstanding Blackpool players of the day. Having been his team-mate at Bloomfield Road Coventry manager Gordon Milne knew the...

Yes, the way I remember it too.

They certainly paid some inflated fees in the early days of the NASL.

Certainly he signed Hutchison and Stein, both signed on the same day and made their debut in a 3-2 win against Man City. He knew Hutch from their time together at Blackpool. Collier signed for Portland Timbers and as I remember it,they paid the exact same fee to us as we paid Bristol City (£320k ?)

That team was my favourite City team, even more than the cup final team, as they played such great,entertaining football

Blyth, Gillespie, Cross, Wallace, Powell, McDonald, Holton, Stein, Hutchison, Yorath, just some of his great signings off the top of my head. Lloyd went on to win the European Cup twice with Forest so his pedigree was good. If you listen to what he said about his time at Coventry, he admits his...

My favourite ever game featured a Fergie hat trick against Man City, probably the game you mention. It was a midweek game, Man City were top of the League, unbeaten and had a cracking team. In the first half they took us to pieces and despite Fergie equalising their early goal against the run of...

I do remember a Bobby Gould hat trick against Burnley in a 5-1 win in our first season in the first division. He had just come back from an extended spell out with injury and that was our first win in quite a number of games. I used to keep a scrap book of Telegraph reports on City games (sad I...

Possibly the best swap deal in the history of the club. Billy Rafferty plus cash to Blackpool in exchange for Tommy Hutchison.

Sounds right with regard to the times of the goals. I can't remember who got the other one. I'll look it up.

David Cross scored two hat tricks in one season. The first was on the opening day of the season in a 4-1 win at Everton, I was at that game. I missed his second hat trick which was on the last day of the season away at Burnley, another win.

Dublin scored a hatrick against Sheffield Wednesday in a midweek televised game. We took the lead three times but in typical City fashion managed to lose 4-3. I think the fastest hat trick I have ssen live was by Nigel Clough as he helped Forest come back from 4-0 down (Kevin Gallagher hat...

Since relegation from the PL, as a club we have known at best, mediocrity, at worst abject failure. That was until Robins turned up for the second time. He has completely transformed the playing fortunes of the club in a way that not one of the other umpteen managers we have had in that period...
