Coventry City 4th in Division Three | Sunderland 1st in Division Two

Amazing scenes as City reach the last eight for the first time since 1910. The second division leaders are in charge till half-time and have the breaks when City are on top after the break. A memorable last ten minutes. Bruck’s 30-yard lob sails in and Curtis’ header seals a famous win.
Several gates were broken down and it is estimated that 4-5,000 fans entered the ground without being recorded.
