He was with the Sky Blues for 18 years. Even though the kit has been nominated as the worst in footballing history Jimmy always maintained he liked it.

There was also a red away shirt with white and navy trim and a very rare yellow away shirt with black trim.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27676150.post-1159811637955511522006-10-02T18:53:00.000+01:002006-10-02T18:53:00.000+01:00Blimey, you're right!
