A selection of writings and thoughts about Coventry City's glorious history. Monday, 1 June 2015. Ernie Hannigan (23.1.1943 – 21.5.2015). Ernie Hannigan, who has died aged 72, was Noel Cantwell's first signing as the Coventry City manager in November 1967. He was a key figure in the Sky Blues survival in that momentous first season in Division One but struggled to win a place in the team thereafter. Ernie's stunning goal against Chelsea. He remembered City's game at the Hawthorns in 1968 when Ernie score...

A selection of writings and thoughts about Coventry City's glorious history. Sunday, 26 October 2014. Jim's column 25.10.14. Another disappointing away defeat at Oldham on Tuesday night saw the Sky Blues plunge to 20. The run has to get a lot worse to match the woeful away record under Andy Thorn when the team went 21 away league games without a win between April 2011 & April 2012, or the club's worst ever run of 28 in the 1920s. The answer is that over the full 120 minutes including extra time there wer...

A selection of writings and thoughts about Coventry City's glorious history. Sunday, 23 November 2014. Jim's column 22.11.14. Another former City striker is back as a manager in the same league. Andy Morrell was appointed boss of Tamworth a couple of months ago and is slowly turning things round for the Lambs. Two other former City players, Lee Hildreth and Donovan Simmonds have left the club recently. The change back to 3pm occurred at the start of the 1972-73 season but I cannot find any information on...

Jim Brown's Journal: January 2015
http://jimbrownsjournal.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A selection of writings and thoughts about Coventry City's glorious history. Sunday, 25 January 2015. Jim's column 24.1.15. By 1968 the conveyor belt of talent was beginning to churn out some excellent players and Jeff Blockley, Trevor Gould, Graham Paddon and Willie Carr were all in the class of '68. Carr's omission from the final – he was required for the first team's relegation battle – probably cost the club victory in the two-legged tie against Burnley. Keith also wanted to know how many top flight ...

A selection of writings and thoughts about Coventry City's glorious history. Sunday, 26 April 2015. Jim's column 25.4.15. Trevor Lewis (6.1.1921- 12.4.2015). Two weeks after the death of his great friend, Ken Jones, another former Coventry City player, Trevor Lewis has passed away, aged 94. Billy Frith was the manager when Trevor arrived at Highfield Road in January 1948 and gave him his first team debut in a 1-1 away draw with Sheffield Wednesday. The Coventry Telegraph match report was impressed:.

A selection of writings and thoughts about Coventry City's glorious history. Sunday, 19 April 2015. Jim's column 18.4.15. With one home game left, against Crewe a week today, the club may equal their highest number of home draws in a season of 10, set in 1971-72 – the season that saw Noel Cantwell sacked in March after a second successive FA Cup exit to a lower division club, Hull having knocked City out at Highfield Road. Fellow historian Paul O'Connor tells me that the draw was the 1000. If you can nam...
