It might be hard to imagine now, but in the mid-to-late 1960s Coventry City boasted the biggest crowds of any Midlands club - bigger than those at Villa, Wolves, Albion, and Birmingham. The reason for this explosion of support was simple - Jimmy Hill. The 'bearded wonder' steamed into Highfield Road like a hurricane, bringing change, innovation, revolutution. Two promotions hoisted the Sky Blues from the Third Divison to the First. The club were set to embark on their toughest challenge, against the elite, when Hill suddenly quit. The club's loss was television's gain, because Hill's football punditry enlightened the nation for decades. This book celebrates the 50th anniversary of Jimmy Hill's appointment in November 1961. Coventry City will never see his like again
