Ah apologies. Maybe, I always thought it was the Blues match. Well, it was MY first ever Sunday game.

You're both right really.

Derby was the first Sunday game, but it was FA Cup.

Blues was the first Sunday league game,

There’s a few Tbf.

0-0 vs Arsenal at Highbury sticks in my mind today. We got absolutely battered and defended fantastically.
Ian Wright breaking Oggy’s nose for the 43rd time just infront of us.

Left that game thinking Dion would be converted to centre half, at some point for us.

Wasn’t at the Notts County game, but big games back in the day always had a great feel about them, and always a big following from city fans. They all seemed brilliant if we won.

Back in sixties, age's 7 years old , dad took us to an away game at Bolton, can't remember the score but we won, the whole stand was Full of Sky Blues fans , it was one of first games under Jimmy Hill.

The best at centre back I've ever seen in a City shirt albeit over a limited time in emergency cover. Imo he would've had a long England career at CB. My city dream XI has Peake and Babb at the back Dion up top, but I'd happily replace either of them with Dion and bring Cyrille in.

You might be right. I've always thought it was the 4-4 Blues match. Memory could be playing tricks on me, I suppose.

Just looked it up:
Coventry City 0 Derby County 0 Sun 27 Jan 1974 (FA Cup) We won the replay 1-0 3 days later
Coventry City 4 Birmingham City 4 Sun 16 Feb 1986

Dion at centre half. Totally bossed it.

I’m still convinced Leon Clarke was offside for the third

Maybe the league should consider going back over time and using VAR to right some wrongs. Maybe we would be still up there

There was just something unique about that performance, and the 3-2 win over Arsenal in 99-00. I’ve never celebrated a goal like Huckerby’s to make it 3-2 in the last minute, not before or since, it was just absolute pandemonium in HR.

Quite enjoyed this, in my first ever attended football match:

Loved it and had City to win 3-2 at 40-1!

Sticking 4 past champions Everton on the last Sunday of the season to survive in the top flight, when every expert had got us relegated!

All 3 games we had to win - Stoke - Luton and Everton was at them all - Stoke missed that late pen as well

Me too. Ian Painter hit the bar for them, Stuart Pearce stuck ours away
