Jimmy Hill game #
Burnley 3rd | Coventry City 16th (22)

7,000 City fans witness City’s Division 1 debut and their first league defeat for nine months and 25 games. Manager Hill’s resignation does not seem to affect the players, who appear in a strange all-white kit. Casper scores on his debut and Irvine nets when Glazier spills Morgan’s shot.
