Yesterdays shirt sponsor quiz didn't go as badly as I anticipated so if anyone is interested, I'll put this up as well.
Coventry Firsts and Lasts. 10 questions with a max of 11 points available due to one question having a bonus point.
I've tried to keep the questions obscure enough to be uncomfortable but only one is before 1980 so you should all have a reasonable chance. Same "get out of jail" card as yesterday: the answers have been taken from multiple online sources so there's a <5% chance of them being correct.
Good luck....

1) We've all been told about the mad scenes with 55000 fans at Highfield Road for our penultimate home game in the Second Division against Wolves in April 1967. Some members may even have been there. But who was our first home opponent in Division 1 after our promotion in 1966/67 ?
2) 1986/87 was a wonderous season. But prior to our visit to Wembley, who was our last league game of the season against ?
3) 1992/93 brought Sky money, big international names and great football to Highfield Road. Who was the first goalscorer for Coventry in the Premiership ?
4) And following on from that new era of top flight football, who was our first manager in the Premiership ?
5) Not something we see very often. Who was the last player to score a hattrick for us in a first team game (Cup or league) ?
6) The era of darkness. What was the last game of Steven Pressley's managership ?
7) Amadou Bakayoko introduced us to "20 goals a season" mania. Or so we thought. Dion Dublin had held the record for that feat since 1997/98. But who was the last person before Dion to go past 20 goals in a season ?
8) Callum Wilson and James Maddison were proud ex-Coventry players who represented England at the 2022 World Cup. Can you name the last player to play at the World Cup finals whilst playing for Coventry City ?
9) We said goodbye to Highfield Road and hello to the Ricoh Arena. But who was the first to break the net for us at the Ricoh Arena ?
Bonus point : Who scored the other 2 in our 3-0 win ?
10) Finally, we have a member on the forum called I Saw Shaw Score in honour of Richard Shaw and his one goal after 300 games and 10 great years of service to Coventry. But who were the opponents that saw Shaw score his first (and only) goal for the club ?
Take time to think these through (no online searches please). I'll try and hold back on answer giving as much as I can so the quiz is available for those logging in later.
