Coventry City 1979-80 (1 Viewer)

[blue_aussie05]

Hi,

New poster here, please go easy on me.

Just a quick question. Am trying to research the 1979-80 season but am struggling to find any info on who played in each game.

Does anybody know where I can get a list of team line-ups for each game of the season, either on the internet or a book? Does anybody have a club programme from that season that will show this information?

I hope somebody can help.

I believe there's a hardcover book by Rod Dean, called COVENTRY CITY: A COMPLETE RECORD 1883-1991.

Does anybody have it?

I'm specifically looking for info about a player called David Barnes. He played three league games in 1979-80, but I need to know who they were against, and what dates, etc.

Looks like the book might be available on Amazon, if you're willing to pay for it!

I looked on amazon already, but i can't really afford £24 at the moment. All i'm looking for is the info on the one season, and specifically when David Barnes played.

In fact, if anyone can just list the appearances he made, the date and club etc, that would be fine.

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks so much Disorganised1.

Just the dates David Barnes played, and who he played against. That would be brilliant.

Out of interest, are you a relative of his?

 

[blue_aussie05]

No, just a fan of the club.

I heard something the other day that reminded me of that season - a bit of a blast from the past - and it got me thinking about how i'd like to relive my youth so i began researching the team/squad, which is when i remembered this relatively unknown player. The more I researched, the less I found, I just know he's supposed to have played three times that season in the league (maybe more in the cup), but I don't know who the opponents were.

I really hope someone gets back to me soon, to put me out of my misery.

I think that book really is worth splashing out on for things like that.

Do you have a birthday coming up?

Could do. Does anybody have the correct email address?

I'm kinda hoping Disorganised1 comes up with the goods for me, though, seeing as he has the info at home.

Thanks for this info.

Can anyone else confirm that his debut was against Bolton in April 1980?

Any joy yet?

Disorganised1, or anyone else for that matter, any closer to finding that info for me about David Barnes?
