David Phillips

You might post a few pics of these beauties that he scored with
Will look 'em up when I get home. In the office on their wifi and I can't be looking them up on YouTube...if they exist as they were in the old Div 2. You can always look up the 5-1 over Charlton in 85 which secured promotion. He got two that day although only one was from distance.
 
The joint Coventry bosses at the time were told when they travelled to Maine Road to discuss the deal that they could have any player they wanted as part of the deal so cheekily asked for Phillips, who they considered our best at that time - They couldn’t believe when they were told no problem at all !!
Absolutely nuts! It beggars belief just how our club was run in the 80s/90s.

Unreal
 
I know I'll have said this before, but he was my first ever favourite player. He scored in a 1-0 win v Boro at my first ever game for my 5th birthday in the '85 promotion season.

I'm not aware of camera footage of that game, so not sure if what I see in my head actually happened or not. My dad can't remember either. So if someone can confirm it was a smart Phillips finish after a Davies flick on, I'd be grateful!
