29 minutes from Wembley (1 Viewer)

[NortonSkyBlue]

i would heartily recommend anybody with our club in their blood to read the new book 29 minutes from Wembley.
It was part of my life, now it's history, it is a good read and to see the affection for the Sky Blues by those players is wonderful.
Ian Wallace and Tommy Hutchison not only did you make my formative years a joy but your love of Coventry City brings a lump to my throat here in Riyadh.

It's the West Ham game I assume?

Yes but that's just a part of it, it goes through Gordon Milne's time as boss culminating in 80-81 season.
It deals with the Coventry Talbot farce and the players who doubled up in America and for Coventry.
