TFP in the Sky Blue
Just to remind you Sky Blues fans that you will get the chance to bump into ‘The Flying Postman’, John Williams at the CBS Arena tonight when the Sky Blues take on another of John’s former clubs Swansea City in the Sky Blues’ last Championship fixture of 2023. TFP is the Association’s ‘special guest’ at the Swans game (as he has been in past seasons). Our popular former forward, perhaps CCFC’s fastest ever player, will be looking to Mark Robins‘ men to continue their excellent recent form and get another three points in the bag in their quest for the play-offs. Remember the Sky Blueas are on a win treble after their 3-0 win at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light and defeating the Owls 2-0 on Boxing Day.

The speedy forward scored 11 goals in 86 Sky Blue appearances between 1992 and 1995 before leaving for Wycombe Wanderers. John finally hung up his boots in 2009 aged 40 becoming (amongst other things) a football agent, a youth and community worker in his home city of Birmingham and running his own promotions company, ‘Flying Postman Productions‘. John is a regular at our annual Legends Days and, when he can, plays a part in the Former Players’ Legends XI Charity games.

You can also meet John around the CBS’s corporate areas before the game where, likely, club host (and CCFPA member) Brian ‘Harry’ Roberts will tease some interesting memories from the jovial Brummy.No doubt John will also ‘chew the fat’ with some of our other Former Player members who are due to attend this floodlit game. They will include:-
Dave Bennett, Stuart Giddings, Ian Goodwin, Peter Hormantschuk, Adam Walker, Graham Walker and Paul Williams

After the game fans can go down to the G-Casino at the Arena and watch John on the stage at Lady G’s in the Casino with our very own Billy Bell in what we are sure will be an informative and entertaining double act.
CCFPA Committee members Jim Brown (chairman) and Mike Young will also have their regular pages in CCFC’s excellent matchday programme PUSB if you want some half time reading!
If you can’t make the game you can still listen to another CCFPA members. CCFC’s legendary ‘keeper Steve Ogrizovic ‘riding the airways’ with the BBC CWR live matchday commentary team. His views on the Sky Blues’ season so far, are bound to be, as always, both pertinent and interesting!
