21st October 1970 ECWC Cardiff v Nantes

I think that's the best cover ever on a City programme, the phot taken in the previous season 69/70. I was there that night too, quite an easy win.

Is that Toshack (10) and Clark next to the keeper?

That was my first season “down the City “ ! I used to have that programme and many more once upon a time.

Feeling nostalgic remembering back to ECWC games under the Ninian Park floodlights....

Having a colour photo in a programme was a rare thing back in those days - Coventry used to have some in their ground breaking "match day magazine", but there weren't too many others.

At Saturday's match, I was told that my long held belief that the last goal John Toshack scored for us came in the Hull match where he scored a hat trick was wrong - in fact, it was in the second leg against Nantes.

You were not wrong Bob. The Hull match was on 31st October, ten days after the Nantes match.

OOps! The second leg with Nantes was after the Hull match and before Tosh left. Looks as if we were both wrong!

Due to the leadership of Jimmy Hill Coventry were way ahead of the game in so many ways. I used to watch them occasionally in the 70's as my father came from Coventry - and I distinctly remember the paper tea/coffee cups embalzoned with the club crest on a sky blue background. I think that the ground was also adorned in appropriate colour paint, way before other teams were.

I'm pretty sure that York City played in brown when we met them in the FA Cup in 69/70 and again in the league in 74/75 when for some reason we wore an all yellow strip despite being at home.

You may be right! I had a very disciplinarian father and didn't the home game go into extra time (resulting in a 3-1 win for City), which resulted in a bit of a tolchocking when I got home late.

The Cup replay in 69/70 did go to extra time so you may well have had a 'tolchocking', however it finished 1-1 and we had to play a 2nd replay at St Andrews a few days later which we lost 1-3.
