On This Day - Jimmy Hill RIP

Last updated : 19 December 2017 By CNS Sporrt

Two years ago today, Coventry City supporters and football fans in general, were learning of the sad death of Jimmy Hill.

Jimmy, a man way ahead of his time in many aspects, was everything from a player, trade union leader, coach, manager, director, chairman, Football League exectutive, television executive, presenter, analyst and assistant referee and will be remembered by City supporters for taking Coventry City up into the top flight of English football, where they stayed for 34 years and such things as the "Sky Blue Song."

Jimmy lost his battle with Alzeimers two years ago today but his spirit will always live on.
