They haveAndy Blair and Lee Hurst were from Bedworth. Also surprised no one has mentioned Bobby Gould.
For 1m apparently too.An interesting article in today's Daily Telegraph about two talented players who have gone to the Dutch Leagues rather than play U23 Football.
One is Dan Crowley, described as"raised in Coventry". Moved from Villa academy to Arsenal when he was 16.
Define it for me then. Can I have Matty Blair who was born in Warwick but his dad had shops in Cov?
Weird definition.If I was born in South Africa but grew up in Cov where would I be from?
My old man played with Ian Muir for Cov Boys. He was deadly. Could score from pretty much anywhere.
I'll leave that with you then.Weird definition.

I genuinely want to know if I'm honest, I'm aware there are shades of grey in the world. For me I'm born and bred cov so there is no question for me. If Whittingham was born in Nuneaton, lived in Nuneaton and went to school in Cov, he's not a cov lad as far as I'm concerned.I'll leave that with you then.

Top of my list. Totally embarrassed me in a game. Thankfully he did the same to someone else in the second half.

Not for me he's not, he moved to Cov with his family. That's just how I see it though. Still can't see Whittingham as from Cov either. What is 'from Coventry' in your opinion?There is a clear Cov connection though. Where did he play his junior football before he joined Villa? Nuneaton and Bedworth have their own junior leagues, but the better players and teams usually end up playing in the Cov junior leagues so would be interesting to know. Also, what about Bigirimana? Yes, born in Africa but grew up in Cov with family who as far as I know sill live here, so does he count as a Cov lad?
Not really, I see it as quite an arbitrary thing.Well good for you.

Andy Blair was born in Scotland
I'm not saying I am right. It's just the way I look at it. I'm aware that there are shades of grey on this as I've previously said. Interesting to hear your take on it.Well not me by the sound of it. I was born away as my Dad was in the forces. Mother's family from Cov & father's from Nottingham. Until I was 20 I lived in Cov for 3 years & Rugby for 13 years, but because of family connections always regarded Cov as my home town. Looks like I was wrong
AyeBut he grew up & went to school in Bedworth. His accent is a bit of a giveaway too.
