@thegoalzone Will be deeply missed Tom -RIP Hoppy💙KRO Friend /Team mate /Legend

I am devastated that a valued member of the BCFC FPA and a 100% Blues legend Robert "Hoppy" Hopkins passed away in the early hours at Heartlands Hospital. following a short illness. He was just 64 years young. Idolised and loved by the supporters he was Blues through and through. A member of the Blues All Stars charity team since it started in 1992 as a player and latterly helping me to run it. He was one of our own and a great pal of mine for the last 45 years Thoughts with his family on this saddest of days. RIEP

Looking back think was a red-new rule of last defender was also introduced that season 😀

30 years ago today, Sky Blues went to Plymouth for FA Cup 3rd round tie, City were down to 10 men after @bussty67 sending off, Plymouth then scored, but 2nd half comeback saw goals from Pickering, Telfer and Salako . youtube.com/watch?v=nOdRfK…

The best-ish Cov academy XI from active players. - Andrews' reputation and Bayliss being a regular for 2nd in L1 means they're both ahead of Shipley's current status - Che Adams was with the academy until 14. I will just about allow this. Who've I missed?
