Now I can only comment on the players that have played since 1983 but of the following;

Bennett, Busst, Clark, Culpin, Gynn, Jorgensen, Morgan, Roberts, Smith, Stephens, Whelan, Williams, Woods - I strongly object to all bar Bennett and Gynn (with honourable mentions to Roberts and Whelan) being described as a Coventry City legend.

Ray fooking Woods? Jorgensen? Culpin? Jesus Christ. Kevan Smith? I think I need a drink.

Surely next year it should be rebadged as 'Ex-players Day'?

Jesus Christ never played for us, there is guy in block 15 nicknamed Jesus, Juan Sara had a t shirt with a message about Jesus but thats it.

Can someone tell me who Ray Woods is? I was in Scholars a few weeks ago and they put a video of City's goals from what i think was the 90/91 season. They showed a lot of goals from Kevin Gallagher, quite a few from Robert Rosario and a few from Ndlovu's early days, and then a goal from Ray Woods!

This was before my time, what I do know is that he had a mullet.

You're telling me you were in Scholars and you were sober enough to remember what was on the TV's?

Pah, youth of today.

Joined from Wigan after impressing in an FAC match against us. Right winger, played a small number of games, scored one goal (as you've seen!), got injured, left. Legend. :facepalm:

Signed by Sillett in our post cup winning year.
Poor...very poor.
Played in our first match in defence of the cup (I think) when we beat Torquay? 2-0 on a pitch that resembled a beach as it had that much sand on it.

Oh yes and as SBLee said, looked like a chuckle brother with a highlighted mullett your average German would be proud of. Legend:laugh:

Ray Woods..... We've really had some shit players over the years haven't we......

Still haven't forgiven Terry 'its only a scratch' Butcher for selling Steve Livingstone to fund the signing of Ray Woods.

Kevan Smith was a squad centre half who signed sometime during the 87 cup run, cannot be more precise. He came into our place of work and helped secure a couple of cup final tickets ( thats a legend in my eyes).
He can be seen here on the Cup bus at the front in the suit and tie.

I quite fancy the idea of two separate events: Legends' Day and "Legends'" Day. The latter could be headlined by the likes of Leigh Jenkinson and Chris Whyte.

Wew were talking about this guy at work the other day ,and third hand he came here as a teamate from previous club was here, and he was assured the guy was going to stay as well ,not sure who ,got it in my head it could have been Dave Bamber,did'nt they both come from Blackpool ,back to topic the other player was sold pretty much immediately,and this guy told the third party it was a fake injury and he was going to toss it off until they got rid ,remind you of anyone.
