    Hello everyone . . . Sunderland fan coming in peace to talk about my book . . .

    I'm going to buy it but don't spoil the intrigue. I also want to see how you wrote 93 job application letters for the same type of job differently and how you worded the one to Sunderland and to the teams that you would never want to manage like Newcastle.

    Hello everyone . . . Sunderland fan coming in peace to talk about my book . . .

    I'm going to buy it and read it on my wife's kindle. I am intrigued as to when you started applying and whether you wait till there is a vacancy as Arsene Wneger has been at Arsenal since 1996!!

    Hello everyone . . . Sunderland fan coming in peace to talk about my book . . .

    I worked in Southend between 95 & 98 with a Sunderland season ticket holder (yes, he went to all their games from Southend!!!!) and he never had a problem with me or Coventry City. Maybe he didn't have any more hate left in his body as he really hated the geordies and was upset when they...

    What Sporting Event ?

    I had a couple of friends who always went to England home games and was offered tickets a few times including one against Scotland but always chose to go to watch us instead! Mine would be Boxing Day test at MCG or Olympic 100metres mens final

    Best Coventry Central Midfielder?

    I don't remember that but I do remember the approving "yes's" from those who were old enough to have witnessed our rise when Jimmy Hill was talking about him

    Best Coventry Central Midfielder?

    Wasn't Ernie Machin the player Jimmy Hill paid for by giving the selling club a new football kit? I was at a CCFC London Supporters Club dinner where Jimmy Hill was the guest speaker and he said that he was the best player he signed for us.

    Best Coventry Central Midfielder?

    McAllister was only really fully fit for the 99/00 season, he should have had an operation and kept delaying it until he finally broke down in 97/98 against Spurs at HR which caused him to miss the WC in France. For me it would be Stewart Robson who also suffered with injuries, to be honest...

    Snow nostalgia - who remembers this game?

    Lars Bohinen was taken off cause he couldn't see the orange ball, I think he was later diagnosed as being colour blind

    John Solako

    He started off really well when he joined and was called up by England for definitely 1 squad, maybe 2. Was a consistent player for a couple of years. At the end he appeared to have lost his confidence and told Strachan he wasn't fit to play. I remember a 0-0 draw at Sheffield Wednesday when he...

    Graham Taylor

    He said it during the World Cup qualifier against Holland when the referee didn't send off Koeman for a professional foul on Platt and then went to score from a direct free kick which ultimately knocked England out of the World Cup & cost Taylor his job

    Graham Taylor

    Was a good club manager and a good man who always had time for fans. There is a story where he met a young lad at an England training session and they were talking about football when someone from the FA told him he had to go inside to and his response was "I'll go in when I've finished talking...

    I thought Telfer had a problem with Salako & Whelan, something to do with Salako shagging Telfer's wife at Whelans house?!

    What a fab picture of one of our former players

    And instead spent £250k on Sandy Robertson. I think he wanted to loan Cris Marsden for another month before buying him despite the fact he had been brilliant so Stockport sold him to Wolves

    GMK

    I never posted much on GMK just like I don't on here and use both mainly to keep up with a fan's viewpoint whilst living so far away. I know he could be grumpy and a wind-up most of the time but there were a couple of times citizens_arrest had me laughing out loud and in tears
