Play Up Sky Blues
A new football team was formed
in the year of 1883,
calling themselves Singers Football Club
then they became Coventry City F.C.
Fast forward to the present day
what a long journey it has been,
such as winning the FACup
was a reality and not just a dream.
Every City supporter has a special era
each fan a meaningful time,
winning promotion to the First Division
under Jimmy Hill has to be mine.
And who is a favourite ever player ?
names like Clarrie Bourton,keeper Alf Wood,
George Hudson, Ferguson and Wallace,
Tommy Hutchison now he was very good.
But it’s not just a long list of players
who’ve represented the club with pride,
there’s been a lot of managers as well
with Frank Lampard now managing the side.
And let’s not forget the Sky Blue Army
what a great set of fans they truly are
cheering on the team loudly at home
and travelling the country no matter how far.
What a history this club has got
with times of highs, and times of lows,
yet the Sky Blue flag is still flying
it’s ridden the storms and took the blows.
So from Highfield Road to the CBS Arena
from the Bantams becoming the Sky Blues,
while we all sing together
we will never lose.

I love this verse as I know exactly that feeling of living in a fantasy while kicking the ball as a kid. Makes me wonder what fantasy world professional players live in when they dribble, pass and shoot? Hopefully it’s doesn’t always feel like routine job fired them
