Can we remind you that The Coventry City Former Players Association’s ‘special guest’ for the Sky Blues’ pre Xmas home game at the Ricoh today (19th December 2015) will be Sky blue favourite Claus Bech Jorgensen.
A regular visitor to Sky Blues home games he will be hoping to see the Sky Blues bounce back from their travesty of a defeat at Sheffield United last weekend and notch up another three points delivered at the expense of Oldham Athletic so continuing their unbeaten league record at the Ricoh this season. This is CBJ’s second stint as ‘special guest’ this season as on August Bank Holiday Monday last, he watched the lads achieve a 2-2 draw with Southend United on their third home game of the season. As ‘Santa’ Claus he will be wanting to see the lads go one better against the Latics on Saturday!
Claus Bech Jorgensen
Claus will always be part of CCFC history having scored their first ever Ricoh goal after 10 minutes when the Sky Blues defeated QPR at its then new ground in August 2005. The other scorer (Dele Adebola) and the Sky Blues gaffer Micky Adams at the time are now fellow CCFPA members.
A Faroe Islands international, Claus was a combative forward who came from Bradford City in August 2003 and clocked up over 60 appearances for the Sky Blues scoring six times, moving to Blackpool in 2006 and thence to Port Vale. Since hanging up his boots Claus has been developing his media and business careers and is proprietor of a local company Unique Floorcare Ltd (one of CCFPA’s Corporate members). Last season he was also asked back to work for CCFC’s Academy as a part-time coach especially for the U 14s and is so busy he is looking to stand down from his players’ liaison role on the CCFPA committee as soon as a replacement can be found.
He will also be doing matchday analysis during the game for BBC CWR as well touring the corporate areas at the Arena before and after the game (and hopefully will also fit in a visit to the Family Zone to meet Junior Sky Blues). We also expect he will be able to meet our fans in the G-Casino from the stage of Lady Gs after the game. Come and meet him and enjoy the game!
