Absolutely, even though he wasn't with is that long, Ian Gibson remains one of my favourite City players ever.

Re: CCFC to CCFC

Now there’s a name
Simon Howarth
He was from Llanrumney
He was starting out about the same time as Bellamy
I remember he had a blinding season then went to Coventry for half a mil
£500,000 in old money
Bellers went on to have an illustrious career with some hefty transfer sums whereas Howarth went on to football obscurity
Not sure what happened to him or what he’s doing now??? 🤔

Just had a look. He managed Clitheroe and Stalybridge Celtic after retiring as a player. Resigned from Stalybridge a year ago and now a scout for Burnley.

Thanks for that Jon
There’s the llanrumney/Trowbridge connection with Bellars at Burnley
Talk about jobs for the boys
At least he’s still in football and earning a living 😃👍

Due to familail connections with Coventry I saw them a number of times when I was a kid. Ernie Hunt, Willie Carr and Ian Gibson being my favourite players of theirs at the time.
