Many future postings will include a short description of scores and notable events during the respective match, thanks to Johnny Meynell (@Shayman66), who has allowed me to use notes in his book "From Ball To Lillis", which covered 1968/69 to 1998/99.

What a pleasure to speak to former Town striker Bobby Davison about his magical time at The Shay. Special interview with him will be on the Courier website in the near future.

Brian Kilcline @CoventryCityFC
Kilcline moved from Notts County to Coventry City in June 1984. Over a seven-year span, he became a pillar of the team's defense, establishing a reputation as a "blood and guts" leader. He made 173 league appearances and scored 28 goals for the Sky Blues
Hello @currys . I paid the £10 extra for next day delivery and have received a message that it's not coming after waiting for 8 hours. How do I complain?

The 2:1 Boxing Day win vs Huddersfield shortly before the cup tie vs Man City, after beating Walsall in he 2nd Round on Xmas Eve. About as good as it's ever got in my time supporting Town. @AndyStafford011
RIP. If I remember correctly, Peter was good mates with Kevin Keegan during his spell there.
Wir trauern um Peter „Eiche“ Nogly. Unser langjähriger Kapitän und Meisterspieler von 1979 ist im Alter von 79 Jahren verstorben.
Sagenhafte 414 Pflichtspiele. 122-mal als Kapitän für die Raute. 52 Pflichtspiel-Tore. Der Abwehrchef prägte einer der erfolgreichsten Epochen unserer Clubgeschichte. Ein absoluter Publikumsliebling und Teil der HSV-Jahrhundertelf.
Unser tiefes Mitgefühl gilt seiner Familie. In unseren Herzen lebt die „Eiche“ weiter. Ruhe in Frieden, Peter. 🕊️️

Can I get a few reposts for this. Very hard to get publicity for books when you aren’t famous
⚽️ The Smell of Football books TWO and THREE from the legendary trilogy by the brilliant @MickRathbone the former Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers and Halifax Town player turned physio.
2️⃣ Book two of three is the searingly honest and unputdownable sequel to the award-winning The Smell of Football. In this engrossing and moving but often hilarious memoir, Mick ‘Baz’ Rathbone picks up from where his acclaimed debut tome left off.

🏟️ There are great stories of the likes of David Moyes, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sir Bobby Charlton and the late, great Ray Clemence.
3️⃣ In the third book, Mick concludes his riveting football trilogy with a 100-day diary starting in the early 2024/25 season.
🔗 amzn.to/4oNNe7y
📚 This book shows just how much the players and officials really do care and just how painful and emotionally draining defeat is. It is an honest account that brings to life the day-to-day running of a professional football club.
