These are the men who brought First Division football to Coventry for the first time in
These are the men who brought First Division football to Coventry for the first time in 87 years of organised football. It was an extraordinary season in more ways than one for, when they lost 3-1 at Huddersfield on November 19th, City were in seventh place, 5 points behind leaders Wolves. Yet when Ian Gibson returned to the side to score 2 goals in the 3-2 defeat of Cardiff on the following Saturday, it was the beginning of the clubs longest unbeaten run - 25 League games-culminating in a defeat of Millwall at Highfield Road on May 13th 1967, which clinched the championship. During this period, City did the double over Wolves, who were promoted with them, and finished seven points clear of the third-placed Carlisle. The squad with the Second division cup is(left to righ, back row): Brian Lewis, George Curtis, Bill Glazier, Mick Kearns, Dudley Roberts. Centre row: Norman Pilgrim (physiotherapist), Ronnie Farmer, Dietmar Bruck, John Tudor, Mick Coop, Ernie Machin, Brian Hill, Alan Dicks(assistant manager). Front row: Peter Hill(trainer), John Key, Ian Gibson, Jimmy Hill(general manager), Bobby Gould, Ronnie Rees, Pat Saward(coach).
