Coverage continues into the 70s including European games and the 2-1 defeat of Bayern Munich in 1970. Relive the glory of Coventry’s historic 3-2 win over Spurs to secure the FA Cup in 1987; the team’s battles against the top teams of the Premiership and the ending of an era at Highfield Road, with the 6-2 pounding of Derby in the last ever match at the old stadium.

Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Coventry fans.
