-- Reviews by the Famous and well Known
A real book for real supporters.
Steve, Sedgley, Coventry City Football Club (1986-1989)
~
I was delighted when I was contacted to write the foreword to The Official Coventry City Quiz Book which has been compiled by Chris Cowlin and Marc White.
The Official Coventry City Quiz Book brings back so many wonderful memories from my time as a player and I will never forget walking through the doors of Highfield Road in 1984 to sign for The Sky Blues. However, my career began some seven years earlier when I joined Chesterfield aged 19. I had only played 16 League games for The Spireites when out of the blue I was told that Liverpool had come in for me. Can you imagine what was running through my mind when I heard that the reigning First Division Champions and European Cup winners wanted me to leave Saltergate and move to Anfield? I actually joined Liverpool around the same time that Kenny Dalglish had just arrived from Glasgow Celtic as a direct replacement for Kevin Keegan who had packed his bags to play for SV Hamburg in Germany. I enjoyed my time at Anfield but knew deep down in my heart that if I wanted regular first team football then I would have to move on. And so in 1982 I left Liverpool and joined Shrewsbury Town where I would spend the next two seasons. Then in 1984 The Sky Blues expressed an interest in taking me to Highfield Road and I jumped at the chance. Over the following 16 years I played alongside some truly wonderful players, all City legends in their own right.
And so to the book … there is something for every fan in this book; Chris’s and Marc’s book just about covers all you would ever want to know about the club; the history; the League years; Cup runs; players and managers. What I liked most about the book is the way it is divided into 100 separate sections with 10 questions per section. And of course what City fan would ever get bored about being questioned on our famous FA Cup winning run in season 1986-87? As soon as I opened the book I was hooked and I know you too will have endless hours of fun testing your own knowledge of The Sky Blues not to mention testing the knowledge of your mates at school, at work, down the local pub or at a game.
I must admit there was the odd question or two that really caught me out; quite a few I should have known because I played in the game!; and several that left me scratching my head because I know I should have known the answer but wasn’t just 100% certain.
So in closing, I wish Chris and Marc much luck with their book. It is evident that they have put a lot of time into compiling this book which I know all Sky Blues fans out there will want in their book collection. But a final few words if I may must go to all of our magnificent fans that have followed our Club down the years and in particular to all those Sky Blues who supported the Club during my playing career: Thank You for your most loyal and unwavering support, I will never forget you.
Steve Ogrizovic, Coventry City Football Club (1984-2000) - Written the Foreword

An unbelievable amount of detail has gone into the compilation of this superb book. I found myself wanting to read it time and time again it was that challenging. Whatever you wanted to know about the history of Coventry City Football Club is now at your fingertips in the form of the 1,000 questions Chris and Marc have compiled.

What a fantastic book. I have not even scratched the surface yet but just flicking through the memories are flooding back. I have supported the Sky Blues from before they became the Sky Blues! I first watched a handful of games in division four with one of their first goals being a long range Roy Kirk free kick. This book guarantees hours of mind-bending nostalgia, brilliant, well done Chris and Marc!
