The best brains in the football business all got together with one common desire
The best brains in the football business all got together with one common desire, to put a spark back into English soccer.
Sir Matt Busby and Jimmy Hill headed the meeting at Highfield Road, the home of Coventry City Football Club, and were joined by several major names in the game for a day of discussion, to create some thinking behind a 5m publicity campaign to win back disappearing fans.
Round the table are, Bobby Charlton (closest and turned towards the camera) Jimmy Hill (next right, with beard turned to face the camera) Next right is Sir Matt Busby. To Bobby Charlton left is Graham Taylor in the dark suit. Brian Clough is farthest diagonal away from Bobby Charlton, wearing a grey suit and sitting opposite corner. Other managers round the table are Keith Burkinshaw (left of Graham Taylor but obscured), Bertie Mee, David Pleat, John Camkin, Ron Saunders, John Lyall (dark suit, next to Brian Clough), and John Bond (next to John Lyall).
