FA Cup Countdown: Flashback To A County Ground Shock

Last updated : 01 November 2015 By County Ground

It is the first meeting between the Cobblers and Coventry City since January 1990 when a Third Round tie in the same competition brought the then top-flight Sky Blues to the County Ground.

The visitors end of the famous old ground, open to the elements which were in full force that day, saw a large Coventry contingent silenced by Steve Berry’s goal for the hosts.

For some great archive footage of the day, including a quagmire of a pitch, celebrations in the Hotel End and a very angry City manager John Sillett, click here.
