"Pound for pound, and class for class, the best football team I have seen in England since the war. In the league they were in they played football nobody else could play. Everything was measured, planned and perfected and you could not wish to see more entertaining football." Bill Shankly, Manager GTFC 1951-54

I remember going to Coventry in 1989 in the League Cup being 3-1 up and losing 3-0!

That was 28 years ago. Oh my god... how time flies.

I think Tony Rees got sent off as well.

It's nice to be back playing bigger clubs like Coventry.

I look forward to going to the Ricoh at back end of season.

We want a win Saturday, but a draw would top off a great league start - 4 points out of 6 wouldn't be bad.

Was that when Kevin Drinkell scored for them? You sure it was 28 years ago? Great night that shame about the result.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

Yes, remember that match well. The police just seemed to be picking supporters at random and dragging them off for no apparent reason. Yes remember Drinkell scoring in the goal next to the away supporters.

That match at Coventry was one of my favourite away nights as a lad - remember the bizzies taking my can of coke off me at the turnstiles as it could be used as a weapon and then starting a chorus of "Can you hear the Coty sing" with the whole away end joining in reckon we took about 3000 to that match unless my memory is playing tricks. Happy days.
