Another Superb Legends Day

Last updated : 14 February 2016 By CNS Staff

The Coventry City Former Players Association held another super Legends Day at the Ricoh Arena yesterday.

Around forty former Coventry City players ranging from the oldest Ray Paul to the mere youngsters like Dele Adebola joined a sold out Eon Lounge for lunch, speeches and and auction.

The speeches included CCFPA President Joe Elliott who had fronted the organising committee for the Jimmy Hill Celebration, Coventry City MD Chris Anderson, Chris Cattlin, Bill Glazier, Ian Wallace and 1987 FA Cup Winning Captain Brian Kilcline.

After seeing the Sky Blues put four goals past Bury in the first half, the players were paraded in the centre circle where they were cheered by both sets of supporters before the second half saw Adam Armstrong add two more goals to give City a resounding 6-0 victory.

The win was duly celebrated in the casino after the game when some of the former players who staged were introduced on stage to huge applause from the City support, who heard a few interviews before there was another rousing chorus of the Sky Blue Song.
