Coventry City FC: A History in 50 Matches (Classic Matches)
Jonathan Strange, a life-long devotee of Coventry City, here puts together an account of fifty memorable games. It's a dull and formulaic brief, one might think, but it is remarkable what a good job he makes of it. The games are placed not only in footballing but social contexts, players come alive, the action is described without recourse to cliche or boring paraphrase. The book is a model of what an intelligent and thoughtful commentator can make of even the most intractable material. You certainly don't have to be a City fan to appreciate the quality of observation and judgment that makes this a genuinely compelling read.

Football With A Smile: Authorised Biog of Joe Mercer, OBE (Manchester City, Everton, Arsenal, England, Coventry City, Aston Villa, & Sheffield United)
Joe Mercer's life is covered in fine detail by Gary James, who does not appear to have left a single stone unturned in his quest for the truth. Reading this book makes you wonder why Mercer was never knighted, unlike some other footballers who achieve a fraction during their lifetime. Many clubs will look upon Mercer's time with them as some of the best years in their history, and he still has hero status at Maine Road.
