Former Coventry City player Dave Bennett has said that City supporters deserve a Legends Day.
Speaking about tomorrow's Legends Day, organised by the Coventry City Former Players Association, which will see around forty former players watching the Sky Blues take on Doncaster
It's a massive day for everyone involved at the club," Bennett told the Coventry Observer's Steve Carpenter.
"We get given the day around three or four months before the day so a lot of hard work goes into organising the event and getting in touch with all the former players.
"It's a day when us former players get to say thank you to the fans for their support over the years.
"We missed out on a Legends Day last year because the club were playing at Sixfields. I think 40 miles was too far for our fans to travel and we also want the former players to enjoy the occasion so we like to put them up in local accomodation.
"Every year legends day is a great event but I think with everything that has gone on at the club recently this year's event will be more special.
"The fans deserve to have a legends day. "It's a great honour for the former players to come back.
"These great players have been cheered on by the fans down the years and it's great for them to come back and say 'thank you'.
"I'll be flying the flag for the 1987 side but they all deserve respect because it was such a great moment in the club's history.
"We achieved something that perhaps this club might not be able to achieve again so it's nice for the fans to see the '87' players again and show their appreciation.
"The way we won the cup will always go down as a great achievement. It was a great day for everyone involved especially the fans.
"We weren't just a team back then were were all friends. We worked together on the pitch but we also helped each other off it too.
"You see a lot of loan players come into clubs now and they go home after the game but we got to know each other and became friend. We were like a family.
"If someone had a problem off the pitch we all helped each other out and discussed our problems."
