 The 1977–78 season saw John Beck playing in what was arguably Coventry's most exciting top-flight team of all time.Gordon Milne's side containing Tommy Hutchison, Mick Ferguson, Ian Wallace, Terry Yorath, Graham Oakey, Bobby MacDonald and Jim Blyth played scintillating attacking football that swept many teams aside, often by large margins of victory, although they failed to win any silverware or qualify for the UEFA Cup.He later played for Fulham, Bournemouth and finally joined Cambridge United in July 1986.
