On May 16, 1987, Coventry City won the first major trophy in their 104-year history. It was an extraordinary period for the city and its soccer club as they united to celebrate a fabulous success. Victories over Bolton, Manchester United, Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Leeds United took "George and John's Sky Blue Army" to Wembley, where they overturned the form book to inflict Tottenham's first ever FA Cup final defeat. For the first time, the cast of 1987 are reunited to tell their stories. Sky Blue Heroes: The Inside Story of Coventry City's 1987 FA Cup Win features exclusive interviews with players, management, media, mascots, songwriters, club staff, and supporters, documenting a magical time in Coventry City's history. Contemporary media reports appear alongside memories and retrospectives—and the first interview for 28 years with the "mystery man," who appeared on the Wembley pitch photograph with the jubilant players.

On February 10, 1981, Coventry City stood 29 minutes from Wembley in the League Cup semi-final second leg at West Ham United’s Upton Park. Victories over Manchester United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Cambridge United, and Watford had taken Gordon Milne’s side to the first semi-final in the club’s 97-year history. City’s youngsters missed out on a trip to Wembley in the cruelest of circumstances after a fantastic first leg at Highfield Road in front of 36,000 fans. For the first time, the cast of 1981 are reunited to tell their stories. 29 Minutes From Wembley features exclusive interviews with players, management, supporters, and opposition stars. Contemporary media reports appear alongside memories and retrospectives to recall a wonderful time in Sky Blue history, the team’s age averaging just 21. By the summer of 1983 the majority had left the club; here, they tell their individual stories of their time at Coventry City, a club still close to their hearts after all these years. Just how good could that team have been?
