At least one on this growing list has scored for England.
Great stuff, but how does that mean he was born in Coventry?
Henry VIII was born in Cov? And I thought bringbackrattled was old!Well I was at school with him in Cov (King Henry viii)
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?
Better then weddington Thistle I guessHe played in Nuneaton for Chetwynd.

Ian Muir Cov lad and now back living in Cov is a legend to a generation of Tranmere Rovers fans, and still, hold Tranmere record goal scoring and played the starring role in the greatest period of the club's history and also the finest centre-forward not to have played in the top tier of English football.
I'd say "from" and "born in" are synonymous.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?
That's my approach.I'd say "from" and "born in" are synonymous.

I used to play in the same team as him. Saw him score 10 in a game once.Played against him for Folly Lane he destroyed the centre half’s he would have been about fourteen and scored three from memory

Yep. Think we had a couple of players who had better footballing brains but like you say, physically he battered teams.I’m not surprised he was like a bull and could score goals
Cardinal Wiseman?Pete Shearer and Gareth Evans from my school year.
Played against/ got skinned by both.
Cardinal Wiseman?
