Football Adventures - July/August 2018

Here are some of the football adventures I have enjoyed recently.

Preseason friendly at Liberty Way.

Coventry City v Derby County.

I got to see Frank Lampard, new manager of Derby County and Reading's manager Paul Clement was standing behind me in the stand.

It was a very sunny evening as you can see from the pictures.  The final score was 0-1 to Derby, but Coventry played well especially in the second half.
Attendance: 2044.

Cyrille Regis Memorial Trophy game against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.

Here's my ticket.

I'm very excited to be at the Hawthorns and to be at this special event.

Here come the players.

Coventry City lost 5-2

But the friendly was a great commemorative occasion in tribute to the life of the Sky Blues and West Brom legend.

 WBA Goals: Barnes (6’, 8’), Robson-Kanu (31’, 40’),  Livermore (52’)
