When Coventry came out of the tunnel there was a collective "What the fuck are they wearing"? The keeper is the legendary Barry Daines who threatened to leave because he wasn't getting games because it was only Pat Jennings who was keeping him out. So they fuck off Jennings to the shitheads down the road and he gets the games. Not sure what was worse: his dodgy perm or his goalkeeping. His keeping, definitely his keeping in fact in my nightmares I have dreams of him, Mark Kendall and 'Booby' Mimms attempting to keep backpasses from John Lacy from squirming into the net.

I remember that game against Mansfield in the old Div2. He miss kick a through ball on the edge of his area and was converted by Mansfield player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to that game and couldn't see what happened exactly - it was only when I saw it on MOTD I could appreciate the true slapstick nature of it all.

They were murdering teams. Bristol Rovers 9-0, Oldham 5-0. Then all of a sudden they started to fuck up and in the end and only just scraped third on the last day.

Both teams just needed a draw to go up. My brothers went to see it. Apparently both teams were so worried about losing, it was played like a friendly with nobody taking risks. They went on the piss in Southampton with a load of their fans. At one point the Southampton fans wanted to go along to Portsmouth to give their fans a smacking.

Jimmy Hill had their last game delayed by 10 minutes allegedly due to crowd congestion, and knew that both them and Bristol City who they were playing would be safe with a draw, and Sunderland lost, which they did. So when Bristol City equalised they continued to just pass the ball around like a friendly game down the park. Bit naughty, but fuck 'em.
