I was in the Stretty Paddock for this one. First game at OT! Gutted at the result but Coventry went on to winning a cracking cup final that season to be fair. RIP John Sillett!

I was there that day in the Stretford end with some mates. I was gutted at the result but even then you kind of got the feeling that it was going to be Coventry's year. Well played.

A fantastic result on their way to winning the Cup, well done Sky Blues and it would nice to see the less well of teams gate crashing in Premier lge & Cup now as it's now so boring with same teams winning all the time!!

Trevor Peake was great in the heart of our defence, special year for Keith Houchen. PUSB.

For those watching in black and white, the Sky Blues are playing in sky blue. (United humbled yet again by the Mighty Cov City.)

This goal was scrappy but Houchen's diving header against Spurs in the final is one of the best goals ever scored at Wembley.

@daddykornflakes Ай бұрын

Yes, he went on to score 5 goals on Coventry's cup run and saved the best one for last.

I went to this it was fucking freezing that day if i remember rightly. I really thought we would win that day but we didn't turn up for some reason

@scherben8870 7 жыл бұрын

Extremely cold. Some used that as an excuse (i.e. the frozen pitch stymied our play), but a similar situation ten years earlier v QPR didn't stop us. We just weren't good enough. Like you, I'd been optimistic about the Cup that season.

Yeah we had robbo out and blackmore was wearing number 7 shirt so that probably gave Coventry a lift before the game. Robbo was that good for us then it was like a 1 man team at times.

Seeing Sunbed and Terry Gibson in any team would give the bloody opposition a lift. Big Ron made some poor decisions in his final 12 months or so.

It seems we were buying those sort of players in the 80s who were good elsewhere but United and OT were too big for them. Gibson, Davenport, Higgins, Brazil etc.

@scherben8870 7 жыл бұрын

If only we'd bought Lineker and kept Beardsley... Actually, if his back had been o.k., Brazil might well have been a good signing. Lineker still would have been the better bet though, even then. The others were rubbish. There's a case to be made that the names Gibson and Anderson, should forever be 'verboten' at OT.
