Pearce, Coventry

With evidence on how my blogposts affect the Championship promotion race proving... inconclusive, I decided to make today's figure one that can't possibly have any bearing on it!

I didn't know that Pearce played for Coventry until fairly recently; I think it was his episode on the Quickly Kevin Podcast that informed me of it! (If you've never heard of Quickly Kevin, go and find out about it- the fact that you are on this page is a big hint to me that you'd love it!)

Not much more to say about this one, really. I think it was my first Coventry repaint?!

Ah, if you don't count this one, of course!

Zola, Chelsea/Coventry!

Every now and then, I look in my box of spare figures, and paint a figure just because I think it will be unique or interesting.

I picked out a Zola, and thought, I'd never seen a repaint of this situation before! 

Chelsea travelled to their away game at Highfield Road, and when they got there, it turned out that their kit was considered a clash with Coventry's. And they hadn't bought their away kit with them!

The result? Chelsea wearing Coventry away shirts, with their own shorts and socks!

Zola wore the number 9 shirt that day, but one with no name!

The game finished 3-1 to Coventry. If you want to, you can read about it here
