Rosario? Please.
Cheap but brilliant for us : during my time : Steve Hunt, Gary Gillespie (pure class), Dean Emerson (would have played for England, megson!!), Oggy, Terry Gibson, Stuart Pearce, Roland Nilson and George Boateng. All cheap and great for us.
I agree with all of these, all great players. Would also add Bugsy and Peake, both great players and underrated.
One player I would also mention is Nick Pickering. Don't laugh!
When we signed him we looked relegation certainties under Don Mackay. He came in scored a few and the results turned, particularly when Mackay was sacked and George and John took over. I seem to remember Pickering scoring in a 4-4 result with the Blues and the point helping us eventually stay up. His influence played a key part in us staying up, and then the next season came the cup!
Big Mo without a doubt so much so that my eldest middle name is Konjic. He never bottled a challenge and loved his powerful runs but more important he fought in the Bosnian war. Legend
Just imagine Coventry scrapping to avoid relegation from thevtopmflightvalong with Birmingham City. We are talking March now!
Step in Mick Ferguson from the old Wallace n Ferguson routine. Two appearances for Birmingham 1 goal.....doing nothing...so they let him come to us.....He was allowed back to his old club Coventry City on loan in March 1984; the three goals he scored in what remained of that season were enough to save Coventry from relegation from the top flight, ironically at Birmingham's expense.
3 goals in 7 games....did we give him a contract? No he joined Brighton.
From the Football League, Dennis Wise has to be up there-at the time it looked like a hopeless punt by Micky Adams but he turned the season around almost by himself and despite being 40 was as effective in the middle as I've seen.
You clearly didn't read my post properlySurprised it has taken until the 6th page for Peter Ndlovu to surface! - bought for as much as my 2nd hand Ford Fiesta, most exciting player I have ever seen play for Coventry in the 28 years I have followed Coventry. On his day he was as exciting as any player I have ever seen, that includes the likes of Owen, Zola, Berkamp, Giggs, Beckham all playing at Highfield Road.
Was just about to mention Pickering, but on the thread about worst players. In reality he can't have been that bad, but his qualities passed me by.
