Good? They fought relegation after relationship every bloody year.What a great player he was, his stride seemed to just leave players in his wake.
Beat WBA first game of the season 2-1 and he was fantastic.
Part of a very good Cov side too.
And escaped the drop in 77 or 78 by cheating Sunderland who went down instead.
It was a Thursday night end of season and either Cov / Bristol City or Sunderland could go down and were all on the same points - only Cov and Bristol City played each other and Sundeland were at Goodison Park.
Jimmy Hill got Cov's game delayed saying crowds were still outside trying to get in so it kicked off 15 mins later than Sunderland.
When the game at Goodison was over, Hill instructed the scoreboard operator to flash up that Sunderland had lost 2-0.
Cov and Bristol City were at 2-2 so both safe and for the remaining 12 or so mins the game was a sham. Neither side going forward or backwards with no challenges or attempts to get the ball. A disgrace.
Just another reason to dislike that club.
