I was at the Ricoh last night along with many others for the presentation night from the Charity match last month ,as the cheques were handed over.
Peter Hormantschuk picked up a cheque on behalf of the John Hartson foundation.
He made a very emotional speech which got everybody reaching for thier hankies.
He said this..
'I remember standing in the west end watching my heroes Bill Glazier,Colin Stein and playing in my school team being a lad from Bell Green and Courthouse Green to be able to go to Highfield road and watch your home town club,then being a very lucky lad ..........to even come through the ranks and play for my beloved team .......what a great honour and it's really......... breaks my heart that this is now not possible for local lads..... to do the same etc.
he stopped several times as he was filling up.
very emotional to all who witnessed it.
nice one Chukkie

I remember him in retirement coming into work as a security guard. I was the only one there who knew who he was. I think he was a fireman too but may be wrong.
From the same part of the city and played in same school team as him and Ian Muir. Not quite in the same class though!
I have the same feelings , what has gone on is a total disgrace.
We can hope some form of normality returns and we get back to the top and in Coventry of course.
I was refereeing Sunday League games in those days, and I sometimes got asked to do schools games on Saturday mornings. I remember refereeing Caludon Castle in the English Schools Trophy against some big-shot school from Birmingham. The Brum outfit were all over Caludon for the whole game, but Hormantschuk played a blinder at the back. Meanwhile Muir broke away four times. Caludon won 4-1 in one of the most one-sided games I ever refereed.
