You sure it weren't Banik Ostrava? He scored a belter from what seemed about the half way line in a pre-season friendly.

League Cup
When was that?
My highlight from highfield road was when my good friend sesh called sky blue Sam over to the west terrace behind the goal,sesh grabbed same trunk and he thought it was funny however skyblue Sam grabbed sesh pulled him onto the sandy gravel on the outside of the pitch and stomped on his back he left a big footprint on his back we were all laughing but sesh was red faced.another time he pretended to be knocked out after a goal stewards came
rushing to our block only for sesh to start cheering again the stewards weren't happy,and another with sesh was when we scored against charlton in the fa cup he had just brought a bovril we scored and all jumped on him it was funny cos he turned round and was covered in bovril and it was dripping off his nose.

There used to be a third cup competition I think it only lasted a few seasons I can't remember which divisions were eligible. My memory is going but wasn't it just for league teams who were not involved in Europe.
My best memory of Highfield Road was December 1995 when we mullered Blackburn Rovers 5-0. I was a season ticket holder in the West Terrace at the time. There was snow on the ground and we used the orange ball.
Blackburn were champions at the time and their squad included, (amongst others), Alan Shearer, Tim Sherwood, Chris Sutton, Tim Flowers, and Colin Hendry and we absolutely thumped them.
5 goals from 5 different scorers. I think, and I may have this wrong, that it was Dion Dublin, Peter Ndlovu, John Salako, ??Paul Telfer?? and someone else, can anyone enlighten me?
There was a clip of it on youtube recently which has since been taken down. When Dion scored his goal you could see me and my misses in the front row of the west terrace jumping up and down like 5 year olds on a bouncy castle.
Great game, great stadium, great days.
I was a season ticket holder at the time in the West End, for some reason I don't remember this game. I would have thought out of all the games from this season I would have remembered this one.
Having just looked at my programmes it still dosn't bring back memories.
Sat 9th Dec 1995, Coventry City 5 Blackburn Rovers 0. Busst 40, Dublin 60, Rennie 64, Ndlovu 74, Salako 88. From the pictures in the following programme it was played on a snow covered pitch, with an orange ball. The players were wearing black arm bands in memory of Bert Edwards, Youth recruitment officer.
We had Chris Whyte on loan for his only game in a sky blue shirt and according to Jim Browns book we were chasing Chris Coleman at the time along with Blackburn for a reported £3 mill. Blackburn won the battle for his signature paying £2.8m for his services.
Is this the game a Radio Five reporter said it was an average game, only commented on Blackburn and never mentioned City in his report? :thinking about:
Today Gary McSheffery, a pupil from Ullathorne School, and left winger in the Coventry School of Excellence under 14 team, questions John Salako.
GARY: How can I improve my game as a wide player?
JOHN: Practice your skills at every opportunity, and watch the left wingers you admire in the premiership. Try to pick out bits of their game and include them in your own so that you gradually become a complete player.
GARY: Any thoughts on what you would like todo when your career finishes?
JOHN: No not really. At the moment I am only thinking about playing football. I want to leave as many doors open as I can. Maybe I will go into the media or stay in the game in some capacity. But as I say I hope to go on playing for a long time yet.
