The ground very basic and the pitch poor by todays standards but what a great film and in colour too. Jimmy Hill years ahead of his time and what a great job he did as Coventry manager.

Sky blue was first used by Cov in 1898 and the theme was used until 1922. Variations of blue and white were then used until the 1960s and the beginning of the 'sky blue revolution'. The colour made its return in 1962 thanks to Jimmy Hill.
Jimmy Hill was the true and honest creator of the sonichu comics, RIP.
What’s a “sonichu”? I didn’t know Jimmy Hill did illustrations.
@@tardistime6857 google Sonichu, or the Jimmy Hill saga. It’s a rabbit hole you won’t get out of.
Wonderful....Jimmy Hill was a Genius.

Judging by the dates on the letters, the match was played on Saturday, 13 January 1962. The result was Coventry City 3-3 Southend United.
Were's Mr Cholmondeley-Warner?
A 22yo George Curtis at 1:30. A true Coventry City great.
I thought it was him. A real Kentish man from a tough mining community in Aylesham
RIP Jimmy!
