Don’t forget you have a chance to bump into ‘The Flying Postman’, John Williams, if you are coming to see the Sky Blues play their Division Two opening game of the season today at the Ricoh (5th August 2017). Our popular former forward, perhaps CCFC’s fastest ever players will be looking to Mark Robins’ men kick off with a win against Notts County.
John Williams at Legends Day 2017
The speedy forward scored 11 goals in 86 Sky Blue appearances between 1992 and 1995 before leaving for Wycombe Wanderers. John finally hung up his boots in 2009 aged 40 becoming (amongst other things) a football agent, a youth and community worker in his home city of Birmingham and running his own promotions company, ‘Flying Postman Productions‘. John is a regular at our annual Legends Day and, when he can, plays a part in the Former Players’ Legends XI Charity games. He is no stranger to the ‘special guest’ role having fulfilled it for for us several times before.
You can be sure John will be visiting the club’s youngest generation of supporters before the match in this season’s inaugural Family Zone session. The Zone is run by CCFPA Associate member Pat Raybould and her hard working team of volunteers (including CCFPA members).
You can also meet John around the Ricoh’s corporate areas before the game or after the game go down to the G-Casino at the Arena and watch him on the stage at Lady G’s in the Casino with our very own Billy Bell in what we are sure will be an informative and entertaining double act. If you can’t make the game you can still listen to John ‘riding the airways’ with the BBC CWR live matchday commentary team. His views on the Sky Blues start to the season are bound to be both pertinent and interesting!
