Coventry Manager incorrect

[edit]

The Cov manager was John Sillett, not George Curtis. Someone should change that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.190.37 (talk) 16:53, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A very thorough and well written article. A few points above to look at, but nothing major. Placed on hold for now. Kosack (talk) 13:29, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nationalities for players and managers

[edit]

Hello! Can you add nationalities for players and managers in the 1987 final. I think Coventry City only had one managers and that was John Sillett. Yours sincerely, Sondre --88.89.103.4 (talk) 12:52, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, but no thanks, that's trivial and recent additions have been unreferenced. And no, Coventry had joint managers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:51, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Post-match, 2nd paragraph

[edit]

"Mabbutt became the third person to score both for and against his own club in an FA Cup final, the others being Bert Turner (Charlton Athletic in 1946) and Tommy Hutchison (for Manchester City in 1981)."

One parenthesis starts with "for" whereas the other doesn't. Since the gentlemen in question scored for both sides, I guess both parentheses should contain (for and against Charlton/Manchester City in respective year). However, the simplest way to put it would be, in my humble view: Bert Turner of Charlton Athletic in 1946 and Tommy Hutchison of Manchester City in 1981.

Kind regards. 88.207.56.95 (talk) 01:01, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
