He was being interviewed in the lounges before the Boxing Day game. Seemed a really nice guy.

Hopefully it'll be the same in their next league game.

Almost made a late decision to go today. So glad the tickets sold out early, so that not going doesn't seem such an awful decision!

Lack of defensive cover is a bit worrying. If a defender gets injured, it looks like our only options would be Vincelot or possibly JOB or Bigi at full back?

I've always felt exactly the same, but I've been reading the Sky Blues Heroes book over the last few days (Xmas pressie) and in that Emerson says that the "incident" with Megson was a complete accident.

Quite a few candidates for these positions. I think that I'll have to go for a Yorath & Mortimer combination, with a very near miss for Willie Carr and honourable mentions for Gibson, McAllister, Boateng, Stuart Robson's brief but excellent cameo, Steve Hunt and Barry Powell. 60's

Tommy Hutchison. 60's

Thought I saw him limping a couple of times in the first half against Vale. Let's hope it's nothing serious.

Yep, we were at Villa on Boxing Day that year. The game Graham Oakey got injured in.

I think it's to do with the local pronunciation of "Athletic".

Back in the late 60's, early 70's I'd have said that the main rivalry was with Wolves.

Gillespie and Peake 60's Honourable mentions to Curtis and Barry

I'd guess that he must have been about 5 foot 10. Players knew when he'd tackled them though. A while back I posted a story on here where Duggie had been interviewed about his career. He told a story about "tackling" Stan Bowles who went off for treatment. When Bowles came back on he said...

Believe me, I'll be the first to celebrate if we do!!
