Is he just randomly in a Cov shirt? As I can’t find anything on him being in our youth set up.Carrick
I believe he either only had a trial or was poached from us at a very early age!Is he just randomly in a Cov shirt? As I can’t find anything on him being in our youth set up.
He mentions briefly in his book, was one of the best England schools players and went on trial with every Prem club, they all wanted to sign him but he chose West HamI believe he either only had a trial or was poached from us at a very early age!
That was a fairly decent game of football, if my memory serves correctly: 2-2 (can’t remember the scorers except the Busst penalty), and Oggy came on as an outfield sub.Ally McCoist, Paul Gascoigne and Les Ferdinand (amongst others) all wore a City shirt for David Busst's testimonial game in May 1997 but somehow they all slipped away into the night at the end of the match.
I take it recruitment had a night off that evening?
To be honest it was so late in the window, I had no idea of it and when it did come about I knew it was two days left and nothing was going to get done – and even if it did I didn’t really want to leave.Got a link?
It was used as leverage, I don’t think there was any real intent from his side.Brian Clough (as manager)
We'd have got the Brighton or Leeds version anywayIt was used as leverage, I don’t think there was any real intent from his side.
Only trouble was we didn’t have any pots and pans to put in the bin!We'd have got the Brighton or Leeds version anyway
I think it's the book staying up that said Atkinson fucked it up by asking Lennon if he could head a ball at the medical, Lennon felt like he wasn't being taken seriously. Such a shame as he'd have been a far more effective signing than McAllister.Neil Lennon - Atkinson was in for him. He chose Leicester over us. Would of been a great signing
I think another factor was that Atkinson wanted to play him as a centre halfNeil Lennon - Atkinson was in for him. He chose Leicester over us. Would of been a great signing
My brother knew quite a few people in the club back in the day. Despite the claims from Robins and Clough in public, the story my brother heard is that Robins got cold feet as Clough wanted complete control of the club. By that, I understand Clough wanted more control than Robins was prepared to allow. Coventry not Clough pulled out of the deal. Clough then used the situation to bump up his salary with Derby. Would it have been his achievements at Forest or Leeds? Probably the former.It was used as leverage, I don’t think there was any real intent from his side.
Yes a transformative player for us. The missing link in midfield. How did we manage to lose such an important player?Chris Mardsen

We lost him to Wolves who at the time were a division lower and skint, same with Neil Lennon who plumped for Leicester who were also a league lower, can only happen at Coventry.Yes a transformative player for us. The missing link in midfield. How did we manage to lose such an important player?

I vaguely remember this, especially Ian Crook, who I think turned us down?I think I remember the back page of the Telegraph reporting that we were about to announce a triple swoop for Tim Flowers, Ian Crook, and Franz Carr.
I think it was Norwich who wouldn’t do business with us, John Sillett went public on wanting him on tv and Norwich got the hump about it, shame Crook was a decent player at the time.I vaguely remember this, especially Ian Crook, who I think turned us down?
Very decent player in that Norwich team that made it into Europe.
