[GaryJones]

On in the next 5 minutes.
Should be interesting as they spent time last week at the club.

 

---

[GaryJones]

With Colin Murray so should be quality.

 

[stupot07]

It's the story of the sky blue song. It's just coming on now.

 

[GaryJones]

On now

 

[pusbccfc]

Oh amazing. I've listened to a few of these episodes in his series. Diving deep into club anthems.

 

[GaryJones]

Used in London 2012 Opening Ceremony - I didn’t know that!

 

[GaryJones]

On with Jim Brown

 

[pusbccfc]

Jim Brown on. Brilliant.

 

[GaryJones]

& Pat Nevin

 

[GaryJones]

Quality this!

 

[pusbccfc]

No matter how many times I hear it, that rendition from Jimmy makes me emotional. It's incredible.

 

[GaryJones]

Jimmy Hill was a truly incredible man!

 

[GaryJones]

This is bringing a tear to my eye - unbelievable.

 

[Martw]

Have t heard this yet but will try to get it on catch up. Jimmy Hill told I think John Camkin that we needed a club song and they wrote it together ? Proud posh and cobblers etc

 

[pusbccfc]

This is bringing a tear to my eye - unbelievable.

Same. This is a must listen for every Coventry fan.

I cannot believe there's a few on here moaning at 'PUSB' last week.

 

[GaryJones]

Talking about The Enemy song now

 

[pusbccfc]

Now with WLADITT.

 

[pusbccfc]

That rendition of WLADITT will never be forgotten. Never been prouder to be a Cov kid.

 

[GaryJones]

I’m in bed with flu and this has made me the happiest I’ve been all week.
Just played “live & die in these towns” from the Wembley semi final - Colin Murray says it’s the best football song he has ever heard!

 

[Chris1987]

The whole programme was a great listen and Jim Brown was Mr History regarding it all. As above Colin Murray was pretty blown away by WLADITT

 

[stupot07]

That was brilliant

 

[Badge72]

Great 30mins that. Hope that’s replayed to the players sometime

 

[pusbccfc]

Great 30mins that. Hope that’s replayed to the players sometime

Same.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Same. This is a must listen for every Coventry fan.

I cannot believe there's a few on here moaning at 'PUSB' last week.

I don’t like it when people have a pop at the Sky Blue Song, maybe it’s just my age bracket but to me that’s always going to be ‘our song’.

Similar to you I'm confined to barracks currently. This has really brightened up my weekend.

 

[Rodders1]

Really good.… thanks for pointing this out…

 

[clint van damme]

Is it available to listen to anywhere?

 

[Chris1987]

Is it available to listen to anywhere?

Usually with these they put these things in a podcast . Might be worth looking in the BBC media player . I would be surprised if you couldn't get it in some format. Fabulous 30 minutes

 

[chiefdave]

Is it available to listen to anywhere?

go to BBC sounds and you can go back to earlier in the current program. once the show is finished it will also be up on listen again.

Yeah, it's so unique. It's different. It's a song created by our greatest man about our football club, for our football club.

Compared to the generic stuff of modern football, it's wonderful.

 

[SHUNT31]

Goosebumps with the WLADITT part.

 

[GaryJones]

I days like these I love our football club!

 

[EalingSB]

No matter how many times I hear it, that rendition from Jimmy makes me emotional. It's incredible.

I agree. This is going to sound weird, but whenever I have a game, there's always about 10-30 seconds of silence before kick off.

The adrenaline is pumping and that silence is just filled with that Jimmy Hill rendition in my head. Gets me fired up for the moment that whistle is blown.

I guess my brain just associates that moment from being up the city, where it used to get played on the screen before WLADITT took over.
