FETCH those Jimmy Melia dancing shoes out of the attic, strap on Steve Foster’s poundshop Bjorn Borg headband – and Smith must score.

WHO can forget commentator John Motson’s famous line from the 1983 FA Cup Final?

Except that Brighton striker Gordon Smith’s 88th-minute shot hit Manchester United keeper Gary Bailey, the final was drawn 2-2 and Brighton were hammered 4-0 in the replay. COVENTRY forward Jonson Clarke-Harris has told the Sky Blues to refocus on securing their first promotion in 51 years after their Cup run ended at the Amex.

No club in any of the four divisions has endured a longer run without going up than Coventry. And with games against League Two promotion rivals Mansfield, Wycombe and Lincoln around the corner, goalscorer ClarkeHarris (above) said: “We have to change that record soon.

“The games coming up are the ones we have to go out and win, but at least we showed in spells here what we can do.

“I can remember being at Rotherham in the Championship only three years ago and Brighton were in a relegation battle with us.

“Look where they are now – it goes to show anything can happen in football.” MOTM MARKUS SUTTNER
