Gordon Milne game #
Middlesbrough 17th in Division One | Coventry City 7th in Division One

Even with Boro’s star Souness suspended by the club, pending a £350,000 move to Liverpool, City are never in it. Mills inflicts the damage to a hesitant defence. Sealey enjoys a rare game in place of the injured Blyth. Keith Osgood has signed from Spurs for £125,000 to shore things up.
