On May 16, 1987, Coventry City won the first major trophy in their 104-year history. It was an extraordinary period for the city and its soccer club as they united to celebrate a fabulous success. Victories over Bolton, Manchester United, Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Leeds United took "George and John's Sky Blue Army" to Wembley, where they overturned the form book to inflict Tottenham's first ever FA Cup final defeat. For the first time, the cast of 1987 are reunited to tell their stories. Sky Blue Heroes: The Inside Story of Coventry City's 1987 FA Cup Win features exclusive interviews with players, management, media, mascots, songwriters, club staff, and supporters, documenting a magical time in Coventry City's history. Contemporary media reports appear alongside memories and retrospectives—and the first interview for 28 years with the "mystery man," who appeared on the Wembley pitch photograph with the jubilant players.
