Coventry City FA Cup Final 1987 - Open-top bus victory parade footage

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

One of the VERY BEST FA CUP FINALS.

[@brimcilroy9002]

This was a great time to be a cov city fan an I remember the open top bus parade on the Sunday an me an my mate along with others climbed on top of the 21 bus shelter to in Broad Gate to get a good view, what a weekend brilliant.

[@benoosha4947]

I was actually there. It’s great when less fashionable teams get a piece of the pie. The FA Cup was a much bigger deal in those days. Sadly John Sillett passed away recently.

[@jamesdond614]

Magical day, I was there, and at the parade in Coventry. I live in Bangkok these days.

[@chrisjolly78]

[@D1Snr]

I was only 5 but still distinctively recall watching the parade on Grandstand and various parts of the city decked out in blue and white decot

[@thelstanedwardsson4374]

I can understand why any neutral would say this is one of the best ever FA Cup Finals, but for Spurs fans like me - we hated it.

[@chrisjolly78]

[@christopherjolly3556]

[@cobbles56]

such a great day, in truth we all thought they would fall at the last hurdle we had our dreams broken so many times before it was amazing i was so high on the joy that alcohol had no effect on me it was truly a wonderful day and so inspiring to myself and others.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

Was being crushed outside owen and owen when they brought the trophy home, amazing day. Now you look at the attendance at the ricoh it looks like the city centre during FA cup day..empty :(

[@Clara-ph7my]

Yes me also. I was sort of carried along, next to the bus, by the crowd. I was literally near the back wheel. Some guy helped me get out of the crowd. I thank him for this (if your reading). There were people sat on top of Owen Qwen and The Godiva clock. What a memorable day though in our history.

[@chrisjolly78]

I'm quite sure I remember being in cov after the final and there was a fountain next to fishy Moores the chippy and the water was coloured sky blue , scotland here😊

[@chrisjolly78]

My uncle moved to Scotland he got me into it after marrying my auntie , his name is gray short for Grahame but when I was a wee guy I called him blue , I knew his name was a colour but called him that coz of the city , he's got an emerald Isle cov/celtic scarf , I was surprised when I seen it coz I never knew there was a celtic supporters club down the old cov hahaha the first football match I went to to was cov v Birmingham was when I was 6 or there abouts , let's all sing together ❤

[@shawry1970cov]

Great stuff! Thanks for posting it.

[@wildager1488]

[@philippeh3904]

Seeing the Sky Blues doing well in the championship, fingers cross they come back up, we need real clubs back and not yo-yo clubs

[@MaclureGuitar]

Great Video

[@marksorbie559]

I was there that famous but look at the club today

[@elephantbarbiegirl]

Our finest moment! Oh that we had half the team these days

[@alix6361]

[@jamesduffy7549]

Have some hope. We'll be back!

[@ban7270]

12yrs old I was there !.... memorable time indeed PUSB

[@rh6296]

The bus has been seen on the road today

[@MegaCozzy]

Was watching the game in the bantam pub in holbrooks great times

[@jackbeswick4662]

Imagine that, playing in every round and then missing the final....

[@blipoo98]

City till I die, I love the club, play up sky blues

[@RobWitchdoctor]

What a day!!

[@jeffreyholmes4083]

PUSB, loved the day out. Great team.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

Amazing day..I was stood on the corner of Owen and Owen, Broadgate was just a huge mass of fans, you couldn't move. Now we are dead as a club. R.I.P Sky Blues, murdered by SISU

[@D1Snr]

Those days are gone for sure. I just hope that somewhere down the line the club is somehow resurrected. People don't appreciate how a football can raise the morale of a city and unite people

[@marlenehyde2306]

Greatest day ever

[@D1Snr]

Just think how blessed the fans were to witness it. Modern day CCFC fans are unlikely to ever experience anything similar

[@dannycumming1395]

In the right direction again now though. Here's for hoping 👍. Just need to be back in the city. IKEA seems a good spot, nice and central 😂😂

[@abiezercoppe8886]

Oh, and then stood in the High street outside Waring and Gillow. :-)

[@jamesconnolly132]

I watch this because it reminds me of the best day of my life but I fucking cry.its not just a game hate to say it but cov are fucked

[@carloakley5367]

No were not we are all still here just waiting to make are club the best again play up sky blues

[@Dirkchucklebutty]

Happier days for the Sky Blues

[@traceyhudson2463]

We won that day cos we was fit! - Mark Robins said the other day we are not fit enough - that coupled with crap owners is the the reason we will be in Division 4 in 17/18!

[@zeusreborn]

City til I die - SISU out and the glory days will return. PUSB!!

[@HVPShortz]

Talk on in the city for decades to come! Yeah right we'll be talking about it for milleniums!

[@ethanfletcher343]

Pusb

[@duncanedwards7840]
