God Bless You Jimmy Hill

Here is a quote from Heather Taylor who along with her husband Steve, not only wrote Coventry City's FA Cup Final song but another called "Count Me In", which Jimmy Hill liked.

"We wrote "Count Me In" when Highfield Rd became the first all seater stadium.

"I remember Gary Hudson from Mercia Sound meeting Jimmy Hill at the airport. He had a portable cassette player and played the song to Jimmy just after he got off the plane and asked him what he thought.

"Anyway, thanks to Jimmy, it was on News Night the week after.

"The club then asked Steve and I to do the single along with city's anthem on the flip side which we updated and named The Sky Blues Song!

Incidentally Steve's version of The Sky Blues Song was featured on Mike Read's Swap Shop in 1984 when we were in London!

Great memories. God Bless you Jimmy Hill!.
