Class bloke.

Appreciated the frustrations of the fans at the time. Accepted that most of the League 2 season wasn't great for a club like us

One day I'll make a list of Coventry City Hero's & Villains between 2000 - 2025. Stokes will definitely be on the heros list

Bloody hell, just had a look at the game in which Stokes made his debut:
Jamie Jones (Gk with 4 apps for us)
Phillips (RB from academy) Pennington (CB Loan from Everton) Martin (CB) Stokes (LB and cult hero)
O'Brien (RM who was a bully apparently) Barton (CM) Fleck (CM class act) Williams (LM Who?)
Tudgay (St journeyman) Samuel (St Scored a few then swapped for Beavon)


What an awful XI and shows just how far we have come

It was actually Sordell we swapped for Beavon. So many completely forgettable footballers during those years. Who tf is Williams? I'm thinking Middlesbrough loan but i don't know why.

There was a Luke Williams we had on loan from Middlesborough under Mowbray - might've been him

Yeh that's what i was thinking, was hiding there in my brain somewhere as a totally useless piece of info.

That's a bit naughty about Morecambe. Didn't the fans of the team that went down kick off about it? Justified listening to that.

Yet the Morecambe keeper made the L2 team of the week.
Pulled off one incredible save

Robins done it before when he was managing Hudds against Barnsley, they played a draw out final day of the season to save both of them and relegate Pboro
