Which goal stood out the most?
Who was your Man of the Match?
Did we dominate, or was it a close contest?
My first ever game as a Coventry City supporter. Had got into football as a six year old at the 98 World Cup. Asked my dad what happens outside of world cups and he told me Coventry was the team we supported.
Looking back it was a fantastic result against a quality team, although I didn’t go to the match in person. My first game in person was watching us lose 5-1 at home to Newcastle in the same season. Honestly am so happy I stuck to supporting this club rather than going down the predictable Utd glory supporting path. City have brought me so much more joy. Will love the club till the day I die
I guess a few played in the World Cup 98 final against Brazil in France? Labourf and Desailly off the top of my head?Was weird when the commentator said "From the Stade De France to Highfield Road"
Think we didn’t we again in the league until Dublin left?Proper exciting start to a season! Dublin and Huckerby were unplayable at times.
In true Cov style, we then didn’t win again for 10 games or something
I definitely remember him scoring the winner in a dull game against Sheffield Wednesday.Think we didn’t we again in the league until Dublin left?

Yes amazing to think it was even a place by then.I guess a few played in the World Cup 98 final against Brazil in France? Labourf and Desailly off the top of my head?
Me too. Pissing down as I recall.Nah his last goal was at the Dell. I was there for that. A header.
I was thinking about that the other day, I remember them singing it. You don't hear them sing it at Stamford Bridge now, but their support has changed a bit over the years.I know at times it was a misery struggling to survive every year but when you look at some of the players our younger fans saw as their hero’s growing up, you realise we were extremely lucky we got to watch world class players almost every week.
Admittedly, they were playing for the opposition most of the time but that’s not the point!
We obviously played Chelsea quite a lot over their years, and my time was from the 90’s onwards, but I never found their fans had the reputation that went with them.
I still remember the first time I heard them sing ‘One man went to mow…’ and when it got to ‘10 men’ and 4000 of the fuckers stood up in unison and belted it out it was proper spine tingling.
They've priced a lot of fans out of the gameI was thinking about that the other day, I remember them singing it. You don't hear them sing it at Stamford Bridge now, but their support has changed a bit over the years.
