Every decade has had great players and teams
FOLLOWING on from the Phyllis Pyle blog it got me thinking about all the players and teams she's seen over all those years watching the Sky Blues, I bet she's got lot's of stories to tell ?
I never got tired of listening to my father telling me about the matches he'd seen and how it was so much better in "his day."
But we're all like that I guess because myself I always go on about the sixties and seventies because to me they were great decades especially for football.
I was lucky I guess because I got to see all the great players around then play at Highfield Road,such as Greaves, Best, Law, Charlton, Banks, Osgood, just to name a few, and great teams too like Leeds, Man United, Spurs, and Forest, as a youngster you were in football heaven.
But kids today still get as excited as we did watching players and sides play, and so they should because that's what football should all be about, what ever decade your in.
The best performance I ever saw from a player wasn't in the 60's or 70's but in the 80's by a very young Paul Gascoigne playing for Newcastle against us at Highfield Road, he got a standing ovation at the end of the game from both sets of fans he was that good.
But wouldn't it be great to see young Coventry city fans in the coming years raving over players who wear the Sky Blue, and even better to hear them say they are proud to support a club who are one of the best teams in the premier League ?

I have too say that game i witnessed against leicester was possibly the worst game as a coventry fan i have ever seen,i have supported coventry for 40 years now, and travel up from wales when i can, in future i ll stay at home and watch paint dry,and save my money, nothing has changed,from last season at all, i have also got a ticket for the game against swansea,god am dreading that, it will be 5 or 6 nil the are an embaressment, never ever again.
