The Jimmy Hill Way road has officially been opened.
Originating as an idea by Brody Swain before others jumped on the bandwagon, the Jimmy Hill Way is on the A444 which goes past both Highfield Road and the Ricoh Arena.
A small group of ex-players and members of the Jimmy Hill Legacy Fund Board, along with Coventry City Counci Leaderl, Cllr George Duggins, Deputy Leader, Cllr Abdul Khan and Cllr Jayne Innes, Cabinet Member for City Services, attended the unveiling ceremony.
Cllr Duggins said: “This is a great way to celebrate the legacy of Jimmy Hill. He transformed Coventry City FC into a top flight team and brought in changes that revolutionised the game.
“We are proud to be renaming this stretch of road, which is one of the major routes into the city and goes past the two homes of the club that was so dear to him.
