George Curtis 1939 - 2021 John Sillett 1936 - 2021 FA Cup Winners 1987 Coventry City Football Club John Sillett and George Curtis are two of the most influential figures in Coventry City's history, leading the club to its greatest achievement - the 1987 FA Cup triumph. As joint managers, their leadership and determination inspired the Sky Blues to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, securing the club's first major trophy. Curtis, a commanding centre-half, made 543 appearances for Coventry between 1956 and 1969 before moving into management and later becoming the club's managing director. while Sillett; a former full-back, played for the club before returning as a coach and later manager, their impact extended beyond the FA Cup win, playing crucial roles in Coventry's rise and stability in the top flight. Honoured as life presidents of the club, their legacy remains a lasting source of pride for Coventry City and its supporters: With kind thanks to all those who donated and contributed towards the making of this commemorative statue Jean Sillett Neil Sillett Dawn Sillett Jackie Sillett John Sillett Jr. Alan Sillett Inger Curtis Julie Curtis-Hicks & William Hicks Kevin & Julie Curtis Jackie Curtis & Peter Gibson Michael & Marti Curtis Leanne McKenna Danielle McKenna Charlie Curtis Danny Curtis Abbie Dobbins George Curtis Coventry City Football Club Bob Jennings & Family Grace & Joe Elliott M.B.E.
