I thought it was Loughborough uni, it’s probably both because if he’s in F1 he’d have done a postgraduate course so probably went to Warwick as well.

A bloke who used to operate the turnstiles at Highfield Road once won the Goldrun on Blockbusters.

That may not make him much of a celebrity, but it's still better than Richard Keys.

Anyone else remember a team representing CCFC winning a TV quiz series? I've got a strong recollection of MJK Smith (Warwickshire and England cricket captain) sealing our thrilling victory in the final by answering "He's the manager of Twiggy!". I didn't care what the question was, I just basked in the glory for days.

Wonder what other famous names were on our team?

It could have been Loughborough... unless your thinking of King Doug as I know he went there

I think the program you're referring to was called Quiz Ball on BBC ... late 60's

Horner grew up in Leamington / Warwick, his grandad worked for Standard Motors in Cov, and his father was involved in supply chains for Midlands motor firms.

A mate of mine’s dad, who happened to know someone my dad worked with, went on Bullseye together and won it.

So if you know anyone who in the 80s/90s had a speedboat sat outside their house for 6 months of the year it’s probably them.

Said it before and will say it again, John Stape (Corrie) was the only one regularly attending games.

I still believe John Stape’s decline and actions on that show were due to the stress put on him by supporting a team with SISU as owners

The actor who played Masood Ahmed in EastEnders for a long time grew up in Coventry and went to Coundon Court, don’t think he’s into football though.

I didn't particularly take to him on the show, but now I have since found out he's a Sky Blue, I may watch the whole thing again and root for him this time.

Good luck, James

They used to live in St Martin's Road, Finham. I used to deliver their milk back in the late 70's.

Thank you! Yep, you can google this and even watch an episode on iPlayer hosted by a young David Vine. A sort of celebrity farmer bloke called Ted Moult is smoking a pipe as the guest supporter for Forest against Arsenal. On IMDb Mike Smith is listed as a 'cast member', so I didn't dream it

Quite a good game format actually, could easily be modernised.

He used to sit behind me when I was in the stand behind the goal - cant remember the name - was there from 2005 to when they closed it was that 2015?

He’s spoken about having a lot of racial abuse at school, so probably not a fan of the place

Top Traitor! (Or whatever he is…I ain’t reading anymore as I ain’t seen the new series yet).

It was a decent series TBF Terry, didn't know about the Cov connection - he was a nice enough lad but scatter gun theories, wouldn't score if Collins was in goal.

Another Weymouth Sky Blue. He was stood behind me in checkout queue in Lidl yesterday! Was going to ask for a selfie before I realised I am a middle aged man and that would be quite a tragic thing to do.

How about the Krankies? They live in Cov so surely we must be their English team? I know it's not exactly one to boast about, but still not quite as embarrassing as The Enemy.

We don't want wife swappers (the Krankies) as Cov fans. They would scare too many fans away.
