George Curtis & John Sillett game #
Manchester United 13th in Division One | Coventry City 8th in Division One

On a frosty, bone-hard pitch City win a famous victory. Houchen, conqueror of Arsenal two years ago with York, scores the vital goal and the lead is defended well. United’s new boss, Ferguson, blames the pitch. Adams has moved to Leeds and Martin Lane has signed from Chester.
