Jimmy Hill Singing At Highfield Road

On April 30th 2005, Coventry City beat Derby County 6-2 at the last ever match at Highfield Road, with an atmosphere rivalling that of the 1998 victory over Man U. After the lap of honour, the Cov City fans invade the pitch and chant for Jimmy Hill. He appears and starts a rendition of the sky blues anthem "play up sky blues" with the 1000's of fans still on the pitch, a huge and fitting send off to the old stadium, and one of the best days ever for many a sky blue supporter.

keysafcftm...do you like football? sitting in all seater grounds? celebrating 3 points when your team wins?

Im sure you do like every other fan....Jimmy Hill made the helped football evolve and allowed in to grow.

New around coventry is that he is at present very unwell...he made our club what it is today, without him Coventry City, or football would not be as great as what it is today.

Name another manager who would willingly take the line-o's job in an emergency at games..Jimmy Hill- Legend

Name another manager that would deliberately set a match backwards 15 minutes then flash the score on a board. In order to CHEAT and unfairly rob a team of their top flight status? 2 sides to every coin.

What right minded football fan, enjoys sitting in souless all seater stadiums. Moving to the ricoh was the worst move the clubs ever made. Long Live the West Terrace.
