In this print captured by John Bassett, we are transported back to the 1980s, a golden era for Coventry City FC. The image showcases a heartfelt moment as the players bid their beloved manager, Gordon Milne, a fond farewell. It was on the 2nd of August in 1982 when Milne made his departure from Coventry City to take charge of second division Leicester City. The photograph exudes an air of camaraderie and respect among these talented athletes. As they gather around Milne, their faces reflect both sadness and gratitude for the guidance he provided during his tenure. The handshakes exchanged symbolize not only professional courtesy but also deep admiration for their departing leader. Coventry City's sky blue jerseys serve as a vibrant backdrop against which this poignant scene unfolds.
