@NevilleSouthall Hi Nev
My mum and stepfather (Sue and Mal Morrison ) from Builth wells in mid wales (famous as the birthplace of Kevin sheedy) are on the same cruise as you to celebrate my mum’s 70th, they don’t want to disturb you to say hi but could you say hello if you c them
CBS Arena heading for another sell-out, 30,000+ expected depending on how many Blackburn Rovers bring. Remarkable story of the Sky Blues. 1, Frank Lampard’s transformative management: 17th when he arrived, now top of the Championship, organised defence, no goals conceded in 4 (gk Rushworth smart loan signing from #BHAFC, unbeaten in 433 mins), good attacking football, scored 12 in last 3.
2, players responding and delivering. Lampard’s coaching and people skills seen in improved form of, amongst others, Dasilva, Torp (5 goals) and Thomas-Asante (5 goals, 3 assists). Haji Wright scored 8 in Championship, even scored 2 for USMNT v Australia in Colorado. Even if he tires v Rovers, Simms can come on.
3, Doug King’s transformative ownership, investment in squad, holding on to players (Rudoni when Southampton and Newcastle interested), investment in training ground, buying the ground.
4, brilliant support, loyal through the bad times, huge turnouts at Wembley in Cup (38,000 for United semi) and play-off (40,000 for 2023 final).
Not been in PL since 2000/01, back at Highfield Road. Lamps Champs? Long way to go. Others in the mix. But Coventry definitely heading in the right direction under Lampard and King. #PUSB

A love letter to the 1986 World Cup - a tournament viewed via the shimmering satellite images of an age before the dawn of high-definition coverage.

And Liverpool were definitely not everyone’s second team. Remember a lot of fans didn’t get to see there teams in Europe because of Liverpool so called fans.
You were better than you give yourself credit for Ronnie!

Hi Ronnie I have just finished reading your autobiography and it has left me feeling conflicted. The Ronnie Whelan I remember was technically superb and a creator of goals, not a cog in a machine who just sat in front of a back 4 you were much more than that.
I am neither Irish or a Liverpool fan so my glasses aren’t rose tinted. I was in the stand at Easter 1989 (I think) when you chipped Steve Ogrizovic from 30 yards at highfield rd you were superb. You were no tough tackling midfielder either… you tackled but everyone did then
