Blimey. I have no first hand experience but I do have a very good friend who went to the same place in the early 90s when it had become a Uni. He came out the closet whilst a student and he's spoken of the place with some affection (tempered with a bit of gallows humour).
Strange how all the photos of the Coventry 70s kit are of Ian Wallace. As much as Vivienne Westwood's punk designs are an important cultural reference for the 70s, so is that strip and should be an exhibit in the V&A.
Of all the paintings of Lady Godiva to choose, you picked the one with a Brighton connection.
Painted by Jules Joseph Lefebvre, a bit of a rarity because when his country was obsessed with Impressionism, his style was Classical/Pre-Raphaelite which the French regarded as stuffy, English-centric...
How times change. I can remember playing them at Withdean and thinking that we were up against a big club.
Always had a lot of affection for Coventry. The Specials, that 70s blue home and brown away kit, their Cup Final. A very decent club whose fans deserve so much more than what they are getting.
