    Pictures of Cov in the past and Coventry Pubs

    I had really bad toothache and had to wait to see the dentist there so popped in the Shire for a couple of pints to numb the pain. Did the trick and stayed in the pub instead and didn't bother with dentist. Toothache came back though so ended up back but because I missed original appointment...

    David Bowie

    Genius is used a lot these days in music and sport especially. But in Bowie's case it is spot on.

    David Bowie

    Great programme on Telly last night on Bowie. A real insight to the music legend. What I liked about him was you never really knew who the real Bowie was, a real mystery and this programme left you still unsure. I guess that was what he wanted left you wondering ? Whoever he was he has left us...

    Is Football Cracking Up ?

    Fair point CJ but last nights phone in should be called moan in instead ! Not just Arsenal fans but the majority phoning in it was just moaning and whinging. You got a Stoke fan wanting Hughes out,a Southampton supporter ranting about their manager,and even a Man Utd fan saying they wouldn't win...

    Is Football Cracking Up ?

    As I've been following Cov City for fifty odd years and been a football fan since I was a nipper I reckon this game I love is showing signs of cracking up.Fans of most teams never seem happy,managers get sacked for no reason,players come and go quickly,and we've got owners who ain't got a clue...

    ON THIS DAY: Friday 6th January 1950 - Willie Carr was born in Glasgow.

    Yes the City fans were outraged that we sold him but Jimmy Hill had made his mind up. The Hud was a hero and yes fans went and watched him at Northampton. Yet the HUD came in for Terry Bly who was a top striker so it was nothing new. Hudson is my favourite ever City player and could score with...

    Just checked out Ernie Hunt after his career ended,and yes you're spot on he ran a pub and was a window cleaner too. Jeff Astle the ex West Brom legend was also a window cleaner and had a good business.

    Don't know but it would have been good if Ernie Hunt and Willie Carr had a window round. Willie could flick a squeegee up off the ground to Ernie up the ladders,a great double act !

    Not sure I've mentioned it but sod it here goes. As I'm a window cleaner I was working on Ansty Road a few years ago and got a new house to clean.I knocked the door to get some water and a chap came out and went and filled the bucket. He looked familiar and noticed the Cov top I had on and said...

    We were in that queue too ! It snaked round outside and was you on the train that got delayed as well ? Some vandalism at Willenhall so we weren't happy with that. To be honest all I saw were the sides of the pitch inside Wembley, and just jumped about after our goals along with the rest !

    Stoke away was a tricky game until Gynn the flying postman did the business !

    Me and my mate went on the train but it got delayed so when we got in we were one down. We were squeezed in behind the goal and thought we'd get crushed to death as were like sardines in a can. But it was worth it and a day I'll never forget.

    Me and my dad sat in the stands v Bolton and I recall it was a freezing day. A nice easy 3-0 win and the rest is history. Went to every match except the Old Trafford tie but never thought we'd go on and lift the trophy.
