Re live three games... (1 Viewer)

[Cigarfingers]

You can go back and re live three of your favourite Coventry matches. What three would you choose to go and experience again.

Think mine would be: (after much deliberation)

FA Cup Final (obviously)
Notts County play off semi (away)
Coventry vs Derby (final game at Highfield road)


What’s your three?

City 5 Forest 4 - 1990
City 3 Utd 2 - 1997
Spurs 1 City 2 - 1997 (longest last ten minutes of my football life at WHL that day)

Exactly the same as the opening post for me, but this time I'd make sure Dad was with us at eth play-off semi-final as only me and my daughter went.

Oh and I'd want to be older for the 87 final too so I could have a drink, as I was only 14.

 

[Cigarfingers]

There are so many to chose from! The spurs away one on the last day to stay up was epic too, there was the 5-1 thumping of Liverpool before Christmas in the 90’s that was also a great day as well as the 3-1 victory over villa on Boxing Day! Makes you realise that we have had some ‘good’ times

 

[Monners]

Difficult, but first thoughts:

Cov 4 Spurs 3 (86-87)
Cove 3 Man Utd 2 (97-98)
Notts Co 1 Cov 4 (play off last season)

Based on excitement and atmosphere

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Man Utd 0-2 Coventry - 2007 (League Cup 3rd Round)
Coventry 2-1 Oxford - 2017 (Checkatrade final)
Coventry 6-2 Derby - 2005 (Final game at Highfield Road)

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Coventry 3 - West Ham 2 LC semi 1981 - most incredible atmosphere at HR
Notts County 1 - Coventry 4 play off semi second leg - what a perfect night
Coventry 3 - Chelsea 2 - always love opening days of the season full of hope and this was extra special with late Dublin goals

Yeah, the 3-2 against West Ham is a good call

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

FA Cup 87
Blackburn away 5-2
Villa 3-0 1992 - best Christmas ever (and Liverpool 5-1 the same week)

 

[Nick]

I know the Preston game in the JPT wasn't really that meaningful in the grand scheme of things but it did make people go absolutely mental.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

4-3 home to Man City in 2001, still probably the best City game I've ever been to.
6-2 home to Derby in 2005
4-1 at Blackburn in 2008

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

beating villa away 4-2
Notts county last year 4-1
Spurs at home 4-3 1986

 

[CambridgeCov]

As others have mentioned so many to pick from! Away games maybe both the cup win and then 4-1 triumph at Villa park, plus the cup win at Anfield.
Home wins have to be from HR: The Derby 6-2 game, 4-3 against Spurs in '86 and 3-0 whipping of Villa before the fog descended

 

[christonabike]

Losing to Sheffield united in the FA cup replay
Relegated at Villa
Losing to Crewe when we had 31k at the Ricoh.
Oh hang on..................:wideyed:

 

[westofrayne]

FA Cup 87
Blackburn away 5-2
Villa 3-0 1992 - best Christmas ever (and Liverpool 5-1 the same week)

Blackburn away 5-2 - Great call, weren't many of us there that night, but what a game!

 

[westofrayne]

Coventry 3 - West Ham 2 LC semi 1981 - most incredible atmosphere at HR
Notts County 1 - Coventry 4 play off semi second leg - what a perfect night
Coventry 3 - Chelsea 2 - always love opening days of the season full of hope and this was extra special with late Dublin goals

Coventry 3 - West Ham 2 LC semi 1981 - most incredible atmosphere at HR - Another great a call - remember at half time looking around at people in shock and then somebody started the Sky Blue song - Goose Bumps is all I can say.

 

[westofrayne]

FA Cup 1/4 Final at Sheffield - Leppings Lane End packed, was in the middle pen, didn't see my mates after Cyril scored till halftime (they were only 10 yards away). The day I finally believed we would win it
Notts County 1 - Coventry 4 play off semi second leg - What a night, might be L2, but what a night and to share it with my father and Son - it's What it's all about
Villa Park Valentines Day - We finally did it, madness when that goal went it.

I was on a freebie in the skyblue stand, the rest as they say is history

Day after Boxing Day. Freezing conditions, but great game. We had a good drink before the match, and the Christmas feeling was still on the terraces. Jim Blyth saved a penalty and we held on.

 

[the rumpo kid]

Liverpool 1 city 3 f.a. cup was pretty good!

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Blackburn away 5-2 - Great call, weren't many of us there that night, but what a game!

I think about 200 of us, my mates dad drove and ended up with a parking ticket but he didn’t care, we thought we were getting spanked by that score when heading to the game.
John Williams destroyed them with that pace
