His teams were notoriously lightweight here, weren’t they. Very little physical presence: Richardson, Darby, Williams (who really wasn’t that strong for such a big bloke) Salako, Jess, Burrows, all were lightweights. Presley was pretty physical, but then he was a disaster, and I never forget Andy Cole brushing him aside and getting the winner at HR in that 2-3 defeat.
Even with Dion up front and then bringing in Liam Daish didn’t rectify the problem.
That was first proper match as a Cov supporter.

I was a 10 year old plastic Man Utd fan.

My dad took me to Cov v Leicester. Atkinson’s first game? We were losing 2.0 at half time, but then won 4.2.

I switched to Cov hereafter, we competed against Utd in that match, but lost 3.2.

It’s been downhill since then.

Atkinson's 1st game was the game before when we beat West Ham 2-0. The 1st thing he did was sign Kevin Richardson & Mike Marsh and they both made their debuts against West Ham.
We were 2-0 up at HT against Leicester but they scored 2 before we went on to win 4-2.

My memory was actually pretty good for once!!

Although, I also remember Paul Cook as being a decent player for us so maybe not!!
Cook had a brilliant left foot, but didn’t impose himself much. Had a strange running style as well.
