Highfield Road # | George Curtis & John Sillett game #
Final positions: Coventry City 10th | Southampton 12th (22)

It’s carnival time in the sun as City sign off after a great season. The fans give them a Wembley send off. Borrows tragically injures his knee and will miss the final. Two spectacular goals are almost ignored in the explosion of joy and the pitch invasion at the end is a true celebration.
