Two in a Week and Jimmy Hill

By Knowl 

 

In compete contrast to our first signing of the summer, we have now added a player to the squad who hardly anyone has seen play. Young Stephen O'Halloran, is 22, a left back, been release by Vile at the end of an injury hit start to his career. Add that to the fact he has two international caps for the Irish, okay given to him by Steve Staunton, and I have now relayed all the information given you by the other sites.

What you don't know about him? The Wycombe fans, on their fanzine, thought highly of him during his time there, well the three did who bothered to reply, and the Vile fans didn't think he was good enough anyway, but wish him well in the future.

That's it, I've got nowt to add other than welcome to the Mighty Sky Blues Stephen lets hope your injuries are behind you and your career is ahead.

Talking of the Might Sky Blues, I would like to take this opportunity to say that GMKonline fully backs the appeal for funds to erect a statute of the true legend of Coventry City a certain mister Jimmy Hill. However, when it comes to expressing how much he did for our club I would like someone who lived through the Sky Blue revolution to write about how much he changed the history of our club. For people my age we take the fact we wear Sky Blue, sing the Sky Blue song and watched top flight football for granted. Part of what I want to do with GMKonline is to give people a chance to look back at the history of the club and bring back the heroes of peoples youth. One way to start that would be to get peoples first hand accounts of the 1960's when this club changed from being a mess to being a long standing member of the First Divison. So this is an open invitation to all those who of a certain age, how did Jimmy Hill take a club who lost to Kings Lynn in the FA Cup to winning the second tier infront of 50 odd thousand at Highfield Road?
