It came from the Welsh international who joined City on a four year deal in a £1.2m move who said that he had spoken to Craig Bellamy about the Sky Blues.
Now,Bellamy got mixed reviews when he played for City but following his departure in 2001, Bellamy hit the media, slagging off the City of Coventry,the club and it's supporters.
However, all that might be now consigned to the annals of ancient history as according to Eastwood, Bellamy was an influence in him coming to Coventry.
Said Eastwood: ""I've spoken to Bellers and everything he said about the club and the gaffer was positive."
