OTD E0029 - 29 Nov 1961: Sky Blue Beginnings - Jimmy Hill and Coventry’s Revolution

29 Nov 1961: Coventry City unveil Jimmy Hill as manager days after an FA Cup humiliation – and trigger the “Sky Blue Revolution.” We track how a maximum-wage agitator from Fulham becomes the architect of a new club identity: sky-blue kit, terrace anthem, electronic scoreboard, CCTV match beaming and, crucially, promotion from Division Three to Division One. Then we zoom out to other “club revolutionaries” – from Brian Clough to Phil Parkinson and Telê Santana.Tips/corrections: [email protected]
