5-4 against Forrest at Highfield Road
Speedo's debut (i thought we'd hit the big time!)
Was nothing like his debut, that was 3 yrs earlier in charity shueld.
Off the top of my drunken head;
83 - Liverpool 4-0, the day my dad convinced me that supporting Cov would be a better option than Liverpool - bastard.
85 - Everton 4-1
86 - Spurs 4-3
87 - Sheff U QF
87 - Leeds SF
87 - Spurs F
90 - Forest 5-4, Forest fans leaving en mass at 4-0 - hilarious
92 - Liverpool 5-1
92 - Villa 3-0
93 - Arsenal 3-0
95 - Liverpool 2 Ndlovu 3
95 - Cov 5 Champions Blackburn 0
97 - Spurs 1 Cov 2
97 - v Man U, that Huckerby goal
98 - Liverpool 1 Cov 3 FAC
98 - Villa 0 Cov 1 FAC
98 - Villa 1 Cov 4, Dion's first game against us since leaving us
99 - Cov 2 Villa 1, JG - "You will be sacked in the morning!"
99 - Cov 3 Arsenal 2. That Hadji goal. That Keane goal. feck me, we used to be good.
Anything post relegation is irrelevant. Apart from the joy of the Preston JPT win. And maybe Westwood's last min penalty save v Wolves in...09 (?)
Shouting "shoot!!!!" at David Bell against Doncaster...
Haha, that reminds me of every time Oggy got the ball at Hillsborough every season after he scored that infamous goal!! I've still never seen it!!
Paying £1.75 to get into Old Trafford!
Houchen header at "The old Wembly" could be the best goal scored in an "FA Cup Final"
I seem to remember - unless my mind is playing tricks on me - that I saw us draw 4-4 with Brum on a Sunday.
Remember that Norwich game, Gasworks. That was my first real season of going home and away - it was just 10 or so a season before that. Brilliant memories.
ANd who can forget having to win the last three games of the season to stay up? I remember the Luton home game and the Everton one. The only time my Mom ever went to see Coventry City.
The other one was Stoke away on a Friday night. Ian Painter missed a late penalty for Stoke and we won 1-0. We then signed Ian Painter! (Can't remember him doing much for us though!)
Seeing as I dislike Sunderland, I can happilly remember us beating them 6-1 at home in the time when Dave Sexton was boss. Happy happy days!
I think Hateley scored two, Garry Thompson two, Gerry Francis one, and cant remember the other scorer.

In drunken hindsight you may be talking about two separate matches. If so, I apologise. :facepalm:
A couple of my favourite moments came just after we got relegated. I'd just gone to get a KitKat in the West Terrace, I was walking back down the stairs to my seat just as Mcallister struck that volley against Derby. It felt as if it was coming straight at my face before dipping into the net. I went mental. Lost my KitKat. Hugged the bloke sat at the end of my row. Brilliant.
Another top one was Stephen Hughes going in goal against Stoke at home. We battered them for 44 minutes and Ian Bennett (I think) got sent off for handling the ball (marginally) outside the area. I was sat in the East Stand as Stoke barely got anywhere near our goal all half, and when they did, super Hughesy valiantly and heroically kept them out. Stoke had a thug in midfield (dreadlocks, can't remember his name) who could have had about 7 yellow cards on his own. One of the most satisfying nil-nils I've ever seen.
