Got, Not Got The Lost World of Coventry City
Got, Not Got: The Lost World of Coventry City is a love letter to a vanished era, the sort of book that makes old fans smile and younger supporters wonder what they missed. Hammond and Silke dig into the physical and emotional souvenirs of Coventry City’s past—Highfield Road’s muddy pitch, the riot of Sky Blues stickers, the thrill of league ladders and petrol station giveaways. It’s a nostalgia trip that feels both personal and universal, especially for anyone who once spent Saturday afternoons wrapped up in the magic (and misery) of following their club. Every page feels hand-stitched with memories, inviting you to rummage through the club’s attic and rediscover the treasures that made matchday so much more than just 90 minutes. Not Got is for those who ache for what’s gone—the lost rituals, the cardboard cut-out heroes, the innocence of being a Junior Sky Blue. It’s not just about the famous names like Regis and Dublin or the legendary Jimmy Hill; it’s about the culture that wrapped itself around Coventry City and its fans. The book lingers on the joys of big-match programmes, comic-strip daydreams, and the wild-eyed hope of childhood, painting a picture of a football world that feels both impossibly distant and heartbreakingly familiar. For anyone who wants to remember, or just imagine, what football once was in Coventry, this book is a time machine back to a lost golden age.
