Coventry City have returned to England's Premier League after a 25-year hiatus. On BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, former striker Dion Dublin, club legend Steve Ogrizovic, and BBC CWR's Rob Gurney discussed the club's incredible comeback. Manager Frank Lampard, who led the Sky Blues back to the top flight, shared his memories of the team's resurgence under former manager Mark Robins.
Gurney reflected on the challenging period, saying, "Keeping my twins, who are going to be 24 on Friday, interested when they were kids was very difficult. I was taking them to places like Barnsley and Peterborough to watch matches away from home." The club experienced relegation to League Two, with a particularly difficult home game against Forest Green Rovers ending in a 6-2 loss.
Gurney remarked, "It is absolutely incredible the journey." Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds.
