That’s good to hear, he is part of my Sky Blue history. Graham Oakley was the 1st RB that I can recall, followed by ‘Scoop!’ and then the fantastic Danny Thomas. There may have been others but the memory isn’t as good as it used to be.

I didn’t realise Mick Coop had passed away. I used to live around the corner from him in leamington when I was a kid.

I’m with you on this RoS. Only ever went to Upton Park twice, 1st time that semi final night where it was kicking off all evening ( I particularly remember Gary Thompson going to pick the ball up for a throw in at the side of the pitch where all the green bomber jacket guys were and getting...

I appreciate we have achieved nothing yet but where would we be if MR hadn’t gone to Huddersfield? That is in no way a criticism or anything but just having seen him on Sky applauding the SBA the thought popped into my head

Me and 2 mates went down to London on Friday to make a weekend of it. We wanted to do tour of Wembley as soon as we arrived and got train from Euston to Wembley Central. On that journey we were mugged in broad daylight on a fairly busy train by 3 black lads, one of whom stuck a knife in my side...

I was at university in Canterbury in the early 90s and had the misfortune to live in Herne Bay for a year on western esplanade (the end furthest from town). The only pub my mates and I felt safe going in was The Ship (IIRC). I remember travelling back from HB early one Saturday to see us lose at...

I may have got this completely wrong but I think there are 3, a little full back and 2 centre half’s, 1 from derby and one from?

I have exactly the same memory of Shilton’s save. I was also at the Bristol match which IIRC ended 1-1, I think Ian Wallace scored in front of our fans. I was stood at the opposite end of the ground with the home fans. It was carnage outside after the match which for 14 year old me left a...

I’m with Grendel on this one, we didn’t sell out at Leicester on many occasions, the last one that springs to mind is when Clingan missed a penalty. Villa used to be poor too in the 80s and early 90s. I went to a replay match at molineux in the FA Cup where a few hundred of us were stood on the...

Someone else has already mentioned Chester away in League Cup in late 70s - my 1st time of feeling gutted. Soon to be followed in no particular order by: Blackburn away early 80s 1-0 defeat FA Cup West Brom 7-1 Southampton 8-2 Chelsea 6-2 Derby County Baseball GroundvFA Cup (late 90s/early...

Paul Edwards(from Crewe), David Bradford, Gerry Francis, Graham Withey, John Gayle, StephenHunt, Perry Suckling, Peter Billing, Ryan Haynes, David Bowman....... and they are only ones that spring to mind straight away....

I remember going to the goldstone ground years and years ago when you were promoted to the old first division. Peter Ward was your hero then. Stood on a big open terrace at side of ground, in the corner by the home end. Lovely sunny day start of season. Went following year in same place when it...

I was hoping to take my 9 year old daughter today but I’m glad I didn’t. There are a significant minority of our fans on big away days who are an embarrassment to the club and the city. Throwing smoke bombs and bottles, abusing stewards for no reason at all, invading the pitch and generally...

A couple of people have already called out 2 of my favourites - Gary Thompson (my 2nd Sky Blues hero after Ian Wallace) against West Ham and Nuddy away at West Brom in the Cup but my all time favourite was Peter Bodak away at Man City in the FA Cup in Jan 82. We were hanging on at 2-1 and they...

Thanks Wingy

Yes I do please will pm you when I figure out how to do it!

Hi PB could I take you up on your offer as I need 2 tickets and I think they may be gone before Wednesday when members can buy them

Oops sorry! But further on from st josephs (if school is on your left) is a Tesco extra ( huge car park, no cameras, barriers etc) and 5 min walk from ground. Also if you are arriving from A420/A419 junction plenty of on street parking on left hand side before you arrive at St Josephs traffic lights
