Culpin, who started his career at Kirby Muxloe, had a knack of scoring on his debut doing it on his City first team, reserve team debut, Northampton and Peterborough.
He was signed from Nuneaton Town in 1985 and made 12 appearances for the Sky Blues before being sold in 1987 to Northampton.
Culpin is a late replacement for Brian Joicey and will be in the corporate areas before the game and the casino after.
