Coventry City 8th in Division One | Bolton Wanderers 19th in Division Three

Bolton manager Phil Neal drops himself and castigates Mike Salmon for costing his team three goals. It is bitterly cold and the pitch freezes during play, making Gynn City’s star player because of his size. Greg Downs scores his first goal from a back-heeled free-kick from Borrows.
