McSheffrey caught my eye from the youth team as the first striker we had home grown in my living memory. He scored no end of goals in the youth team and then in the reserves. He played for us in the Premiership and was for a time the youngest player ever to play a first team game. He looked good but young - a great prospect.
By the time that McAllister became manager McSheff had become a first team regular. But for whatever reason McAllister took a dislike - McSheff was forced to train in the Memorial park in a bomb squad. It looked like his Cov career was over. However after McAllister left he flourished - the best spell of his Sky Blues career. He scored loads of goals from the left wing - no longer deployed as a striker. Undeed he did so well that he was sold. This is life.
He performed very well for Brum too. We had received two seasons of excellence from him and Blues got some too.
By the time he returned he was well past his best - getting old and also injured. He still had his eye for goal but confidence played a part too.
Whilst researching this post for dates I realised that I remember over half of the managers and yet have lived for ONLY 38% of the club's history. What a damning statement of the modern game.
