Neil Sillett: my Dad brought Coventry together

CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton

Available for over a year

Tributes have been paid to John Sillett, the man who led Coventry City to their FA Cup win in 1987, following his death. Sky Blues fans remembered him before the match against West Bromwich Albion at the CBS Arena, while a minute's silence was also held at Coventry Rugby Club, recognising his contribution to the city. Sillett played for Coventry in the 1960s under Jimmy Hill's management. He returned to Highfield Road alongside George Curtis to give Coventry their greatest moment, a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley. Speak to CWR Breakfast with Phil Upton, John's son Neil Sillett reflected on the tributes.
