It has been Goalkeeper Week here on The Phoenix this week and if you’re talking about Coventry City goalkeepers then one man stands head and shoulders above all others - Steve Ogrizovic.
Oggy arrived in Coventry back in the summer of 1984. Forty-two years later and he’s still here! Across 16 years as a player, almost two decades on the coaching staff and now a mainstay covering the club for BBC CWR, Steve Ogrizovic is Mr Coventry City.
Here, The Phoenix doffs its cap to a genuine Sky Blue legend. We do so with a little help from those who know him.
