[Sky Blue Harry H]

Robert Yarni!

I'd have been mad at getting that done.
Did you put it it with your Tommy Hutchinson shirt?

I had a Lee Hughes one. I was in the Army and in Bosnia. Vowed to never wear it again then one of the interpreters who was a Red Star Belgrade ultra asked me to swap it for his Croatian Davor Sukar shirt which he refused to wear as he was Croatian and not Serbian. Resullt!

Chris Birchall. He looked great during the world cup before we signed him. Have to be honest, I regretted having it done before I left the club shop.

Limited edition of one I’d have thought… who’ll start the bidding at £200

Isn’t that Jay Dasilva’s eBay post?

 

[Mcbean]

I still see the Keane one at some matches - i don't think anyone should have any regret great player destined for higher things and he did ! Can understand the Bellend and Hughes getting binned though - not sure many brought shirts in the Wilderness years !!! Still see the odd Konjic as well which is great although my own shirt of that era is a body odour trap after 10 mins of wearing

Wish they'd hurry up and get this shirt back in the club shop.

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

McSheffery. As I remember, I’m sure my Dad took the top back and got it changed for Kyle, which that in itself is a regret

 

[withnail]

I still have it.....

Willie Boland was a legend for me in sensible world of soccer. I don’t know why but he was, a one man team, unstoppable.
He helped me turn the tide on my mate who usually emphatically battered me every time.
For that i will never forget willie boland

 

[Lionelr]

I’m sure there’s someone with a Marlon King shirt staying quiet

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

I still have it.....

I raise you a Mike Marsh ‘24’ on the home kit that year.

I still don’t know why. Thankfully it vanished during a house move.

 

[Hobo]

You could have simply changed the family name to Keane by Deadpoll

Good idea Mr Kruszynski

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I have had a few names on the back Dublin,Boateng and Hadji some sort of pattern forming there, this year I would have Collins and hope he follows the same route.

 

[Travs]

Steve Walsh

 

[TomRad85]

I only ever got a name on one shirt and it was Chippo.

 

[JSL]

Dion Dublin. He left 1 week afterwards

 

[Mdyer1985]

I think in the mid 90s it was about 75p a letter for the name or am I making that up . It was obviously more for the premier league badge on the sleeve . So it was Allways better to go for a shorter name . That’s another question all together longest and shortest names who have played for Coventry . Don’t think you can beat ng at Cardiff

 

[Mdyer1985]

Latibeaudiere must be up there for the longest I wouldn’t have been able to afford that name as a child lol

 

[Mdyer1985]

And maybe Danny fox for the shortest

 

[mmttww]

Phil Babb. Bloke was my hero, got sold weeks later.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Wonder if anyone had Telfer…

 

[Liquid Gold]

Had Dublin on my shirt when I was a mascot, the man himself loved it and put extra effort in showing us around Highfield Road.

Gone a few weeks later and never trusted a player enough again.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

No one mentioned Lee Hughes, Marlon King or even Michael McIndoe here?

Did he show you the stairs leading up to the boardroom?

 

[Adge]

Wonder if anyone had Telfer…

Yeah-I saw one at the last home game. What ever possessed them?!

 

[Adge]

I had Daish on the classic Le Coq Sportif home kit-he got injured the game after and never really played again 🫤

 

[Warwickhunt]

Warwick Hunt

 

[Terry_dactyl]

So good they named him twice

 

[AOM]

Chris Birchall. He looked great during the world cup before we signed him. Have to be honest, I regretted having it done before I left the club shop.

Scored a screamer for us at the Ricoh I seem to vaguely recall

 

[Nick]

Pretty sure there used to be a shop in Bedworth that used to sell the shirts with misprinted names. I probably had a couple from there back in the day but no idea what was on them. Probably rocking about with a goalkeeper top with Wegere on or something.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Ward 5 is probably the worst one I have from 08/09.

Currently in storage with many others.

 

[Bertola]

Keith O'Neill

Looked class at Stockport away, thought we would piss the league with him and Hughes.

Safe to say I was wrong

 

[Hod dog]

only ever had 3

Dublin - he left days later and shirt was binned and never worn
Keane - no regrets as he went on to bigger things and not Aston Villa (we ignore that loan it was 12 years later)
Konjic on the red and white striped away ajax looking kit

My brother in law used to work for the TV license people-knocked on a few doors around Leamington where licenses were not showing up as being paid and Deegan answered the door on one of them who had not payed.
