The Coventry City Former Player's Association’s ‘special guest’ for the Sky Blues’ Bank Holiday Monday night game at the Ricoh on the last day of August will be CCFPA committee member Claus Bech Jorgensen. He will be hoping to see the Sky Blues continue their 100% record at the Ricoh this season!
Claus Bech Jorgensen
Of course, Claus is part of club history having scored the first ever Ricoh goal after 10 minutes when the Sky Blues defeated QPR at its new ground in August 2005. The other scorer (Dele Adebola) and the Sky Blues gaffer Micky Adams at the time are now fellow CCFPA members.
Claus will be remembered as a combative forward who came from Bradford City in August 2003. An international for the Faroe Islands, Claus clocked up over 60 appearances for the Sky Blues scoring six times. He moved to Blackpool in 2006 and thence to Port Vale. Since hanging up his boots Claus has been developing his media and business careers and is proprietor of a local company Unique Floorcare Ltd (one of CCFPA’s Corporate members). Last season he was also asked back to work for CCFC’s Academy as a part-time coach especially for the U 14s.
He will also be doing matchday analysis during the game for BBC CWR as well touring the corporate areas at the Arena before and after the game. We also expect he will be able to meet the fans on the stage of Lady Gs in the G-Casino after the game. Thanks Claus!
