I've been fortunate in my job to have met 2 City players and both were friendly and approachable. I cleaned the windows at Ernie Machin's house, and at Les Sealey home when he lived in Walsgrave. And talked with Bill Glazier at a legend's day at the casino, and he too was a quiet modest bloke...

This is more about appearances etc than his character. Sounds as if he left a negative impression on you. I remember a football great being an anti social and miserable bastard, and like you say you never forget.

Yes got that book. But not near the bog !

Oggy was born on this day 12th of September 1957. Top appearances for the Sky Blues of 601, and most consecutive league games at 241. And add in he scored a goal too against Sheffield Wednesday in 86, the first City keeper to do so. A true Coventry City legend.

It is an odd one. They're still at it on Planet Rock, all very sombre and mellow tracks. They were playing Bomber by Motorhead when the news came in, but since it's gone like a classical music station.

Planet Rock radio station since the death have just been playing sombre and less heavy rock tracks, saying in respect etc. They said it's the least they can do. How long for is anybody's guess.

As the Queen has passed away it looks like it'll be awhile before normality resumes, whatever normal is these days. I respect her and she did her royal duties for decades, so I admire her for that. But she came from a generation that just got on with things, no fuss and bother etc, carry on as...

Like you I too rate Usyk who is a smart and clever boxer, but could he beat Fury ? If Usyk had a powerful punch at the end of his boxing skills maybe, but Fury would just jab away and he is a giant and is skilful too for such a big unit. So as much as I respect the Ukrainian it would be a...

Joshua should have handled it better than he did after the fight, it was embarrassing. He gave it his best shot in the fight, but came up short which isn't embarrassing. Usyk is a class act in and out of the ring and a deserved winner on the night.

Good effort from AJ but Usyk is a very clever fighter.

Put my bets on for the fight. Got Usyk to win in round 10, and other bet for the Ukrainian to win between rounds 10-12. But as we know in boxing it just takes one punch and bang it's over. But still reckon Usyk to come out on top.

They've got cctv footage of a bloke running away holding a knife. On the news tonight.

I reckon it'll be Usyk on points again or even a late stoppage. I'll see the odds in the bookies on the day.

Agree. But Joshua needs to win or where does he go next ?

So who's going to win this rematch ? Can Joshua get his revenge,or will the Ukrainian come out on top again ? I'm going for another Usyk victory,but as we know in boxing anything can happen especially with heavyweights. Should be an interesting fight.

Was down the shop today buying the new club shirt. I noticed they've painted the subway steps bright colours, and got rid of the graffiti off the walls. I liked the Cov City graffiti that was there, but obviously they didn't !

I see Paul McCartney is on tonight at Glastonbury. Can't believe he's 80 and still going strong. He must drink Red Bull ,as they say it gives you wings. 😉

No in Coventry.

Been out tonight and found out a group of women were aggressive. I'm old school and you only fight with blokes, what's happening with females now ? They are wanting to fight ?

Paul McCartney birthday today he's 80 years old. In my opinion he hasn't done any good stuff for years, but mega respect to him as a great song writer and musician. Good excuse to play some Beatles tracks later.
