    Probably nothing in it but to have him and Marosi as our 2 keepers what a duo.

    We are a Championship club now and he's 35 so stranger things have happened in football . 🤔

    Kieren Westwood

    Keiren Westwood seems to have fallen out with his manager at Sheffield Wednesday. And on social media he has said how much he loved his time here at Coventry City. Is he trying to get a return here ? 🤔

    Handling Bereavement ?

    The little lad lost both parents then. How tough for him and still only young. I wouldn't have written this year's ago, but as you get older and been through loss etc, it feels normal to talk about it. In fact we joked in the club over some beers after my mates funeral, that we'd see all each...

    Handling Bereavement ?

    When I talk about death or my mortality to my son he changes the subject, or says things like " you'll live to be a hundred dad. " Waste of time discussing a will to him ! 😏

    Handling Bereavement ?

    Spot on. My dad was a brickie and always grafting. As a kid I'd hear him going out the door early in the morning, and coming home and falling asleep in his chair. Then when my mum died it was like he'd become a different person. My sister tried hard to help but we both were met with" I'm okay...

    Handling Bereavement ?

    A mate at the funeral said he cried buckets when he heard that our pal had died. I just felt sad. Like you say we're all different. My dad never showed any emotion even when my mum died suddenly at just 62. Carried on as if it never happened which I now know was his upbringing. But he stopped...

    Handling Bereavement ?

    Went to a mate of mines funeral on Thursday, a friend of 40 plus years. And last night I watched the Vinnie Jones on Piers Morgan interview, where Vinnie really opened up about losing his wife, and at times got really emotional. Mega respect to him for showing his feelings on tv which couldnt...

    Football The Best Day Out ?

    Went to a mate's funeral yesterday and afterwards we all went to the club for food and drink. Not long till talk got round to football and the upcoming season. So even at sad occasions football is on most minds !

    Match Thread Southampton friendly Tuesday

    Southampton after their Leicester hammering turned it around well, most improved side in the Premier in my opinion. Reckon this season they will finish just outside top six.

    Jimmy Case was almost deaf so If you had shouted abuse at him he wouldn't have heard you !

    I try hard never to barrack our players always have tried to keep positive and look for the good. But Tom English used to niggle me as he along with Lorimer of Leeds had the hardest shot in football at the time. But hardly on target ! 😣

    He was South African I think ? Big build with a cap on I recall. I'm sure though he did get convicted for burglary and our fans especially my dad loved to wind him up !

    Another goalkeeper incident has come to my mind. My dad was the strong silent type, didn't say a lot until he was at a match, then he'd become another person fairly loud and opinionated. I recall one game and I was at the front of the Spion Kop with other young kids with our rattles and decked...

    I've mentioned it on here before but as we are on the subject of keepers and Sealey now it's worth repeating. As I'm a window cleaner I cleaned Les Sealey's house a few times when he lived in Walsgrave. Always had to go back for payment as he would never have cash on him he said when he was in...

    Favourite Ever Cov City Player ?

    We've been fortunate over the years to have had some really good keepers. My favourite has always been Bill Glazier followed by Jim Blyth. But I recall a match v Chelsea when our keeper let a really soft shot through his grasp much to the bewilderment of us stood behind the goal in the West End...

    We had Meeson, Wesson, and before them Arthur Lightening in goal. And then the best of the lot Bill Glazier came and what a signing he was.

    When he signed for Villa I crossed out his pictures from my Cov City book and programme collection. Underneath writing JUDAS in block capital letters !
