The game was effectively over after 37 minutes but full credit to Coventry for sticking to their task and keeping the scoreline respectable. The best of luck with the rest of your season and hopefully it won't be much longer before City are back in the Top Flight where they belong.

Actually, Spurs had a chocolate and gold kit a few seasons ago... :facepalm:

Your lot once turned-up in this kit at the Lane... ...it must have been in the late 1970s.

Absolutely! When I first started supporting Spurs, Coventry were a regular fixture for us. I well remember Martin Peters scoring on his Spurs debut against the Sky Blues in 1970.
