    I was there. During the warm up the Nantes players were showing incredible ball skills and I thought we would be in for a tough game. In the event they were easily knocked off the ball and we won comfortably. I can't recall much else other than it was a very comfortable win.

    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.

    I was there too. One of my favourite City players of all time, Ian Gibson, got on the spreadsheet. We got Real Madrid in the draw for the next round leading to even greater memories.

    Well slap my arse and call me Sally.
    I was convinced it was 4-1.

    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!

    Scorers: Toshack 2, Gibson, Peter King and Leighton Phillips who came on as a substitute. As neon says Hull game was 10 days later on 31 October. Until I looked at my programmes for that season I didn’t realise how badly we started at home (first six games W1 D4 L1).
    This was the second season for us to have a colour photo on front page.

    Frank Parsons was in goal for our first five home matches that season.

    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.
