There was a wonderful 25th Anniversary reunion of Coventry City’s 1987 F.A.Cup winning squad at Nailcote in 2012 and a fair proportion of the squad hope to reassembe again for a special dinner at Nailcote on their 30th Anniversary, after several of them shared our 10th Anniversary Legends Day 2017 with us last Saturday (April 8th) at the Posh game. The Reunion of the “Boys of ’87” will take place at Nailcote Hall, Berkswell, Warwickshire on Saturday 13th May 2017.
It was great to see ‘Big Cyrille’, ‘Benno’ and ‘Gynny’ back with the (replica) F.A.Cup on the pitch at last Saturday’s Legends Day celebrations, with ‘Oggy’, of course, doing his usual match-day duties from the dugout as the Sky Blues beat ‘the Posh’ 1-0 and F.A.Cup winning gaffer John Sillett also in attendance!
All the details you need on the arrangements at Nailcote and how you can join the “Boys of ’87” for an evening’s fun and games can be found on the poster (above left).
Around 200 places are apparently available for Sky Blue fans at this event so if you want to have dinner and spend an evening (7.30pm – 1 am) with many of your heroes of 1987 you need to get cracking as the tables are bound to sell quickly!
CCFPA should have several members from other playing eras and committee members also in attendance. There is also plentiful entertainment (apart from the squad) laid on!
