Coventry City 4 Tottenham 3 1986-87

[@andycross8867]

One of the best games I went to, in the West Terrace, Cyrille's winner still makes me smile.

[@LeonCoppola]

I'll never forget this game, has to be my favourite game in the west terrace too!

[@GRIDMASTER6]

It went mental when Regis scored the winner!! Great days and great football club, miss those days so badly.

[@jamiew1664]

god mate, the west terrace must have gone off that day.... i lived in the rose and crown down the road on walsgrave rd... but my dad hadnt taken that pub over yet... i was living in london at this time, and in the early 90s my dad took over that pub. used to love going up the city and wayching games... i live in bloody sydney now in oz.... ahh the days. love good memories. you blokes take care. respect. CTID, PUSB

[@brichas87]

I was there. Awesome game ... one end to the other. Both sides throwing caution to the wind in the last 10 minutes. Tottenham must have hated the sight of Benno and Houchen that season. Big Cyrille’s determination for the winner too. PUSB

[@daddykornflakes]

Yes, and nearly another spectacular headed goal by Houchen @ 2:08 just before Benno scores.

[@yacan7651]

I took my quite reserved doctor brother in law to this game, he loved it, you can just see him running on to the pitch after Cyrille scored the winner !

[@pauljohnston2483]

I never knew of this game. How many coincidences with the Cup Final. Spurs have kit issues Spurs take the lead Houchen scores a bullet header I have watched the 1987 Cup Final loads when I was growing up but I never knew it wasn't even the best Coventry Spurs game that season

[@GRIDMASTER6]

I was behind the goal when Cyril headed the ball in for the winner, what a game it was .

[@philipjustice151]

Where did you find this? I was there. One of the great games in football.

[@paulhughes5476]

Brilliant game, stood on the Kop with my Dad, PUSB 👍💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Was at this game. West stand. Great night.

[@Umski]

I think this was the first live match I was taken to a kid by my Dad - I would have been 6 but don't really remember much apart from leaving early to avoid the crowds getting out (nice one Dad!) and missing the last couple of goals! I remember them winning however as we heard the cheers go up!

[@jamiew1664]

im watching this game, i would have been 6 too, what school did u go to?

This was my first game as well, and I was also 6! We are now officially football twins! 😂

[@tmw9187]

What a great game and what a great goal by ig Cyrille.

[@StopAgenda21]

Love Cyrille, RIP big man

[@jamiew1664]

CTID, PUSB.. i live in australia now, i miss these days. big shout out to people back in cov....while we sing together!!!!!

[@statto74]

I suspect that Tottenham brought their third kit which the referee wasn't happy with. They had a navy third kit that season, had they white shirt been brought it wouldn't have required navy socks.

[@archie592]

If I remember rightly they wore Coventry's away shirt with Spurs shorts.

[@philipryan6003]

Love the old days at highfield road some great games there over the years

[@jeffreyholmes4083]

Great game PUSB.

[@jamesdond614]

I was there mgreat game, in the West End, up the Sky Blues

[@jeffreyholmes4083]

Legends, PUSB.

[@JoyDivision88]

Seeing Cyrille in blue and white stripes but not the Albion is so sad. We should never have sold him. He should have started and finished his career at Albion. But then he would never have won anything I suppose.

[@jamiew1664]

as a cov fan i hear ya, but im glad you never got that wish (in a nice way). not many players stay at one club their whole career do they... im trying to think who has? gerrard is maybe the only one that springs to mind although im sure theres lots

[@d.c.harrison6656]

@@jamiew1664 Giggs, Scholes and Gary Neville spring to mind too. Carragher at Liverpool, Tony Adams at Arsenal, le Tissier at Southampton. Going further back, you can have Jack Charlton at Leeds, George Cohen at Fulham and Nat Lofthouse at Bolton. United were in for Regis in early '86, but there were question marks over his medical and we took Terry Gibson instead. A disaster of a move in two ways - would have loved to have seen big Cyrille in a United shirt.

[@daddykornflakes]

@@d.c.harrison6656 Brian Labone and Tommy Wright at 60s/70s Everton. Also Willie Miller at Fergie's Aberdeen spent his entire career with the Dons.

Great match with better to come at Wembley. PUSB.
