Coventry Legend Ogrizovic Reflects on 42-Year Journey Back to Top Flight

After 42 years at the heart of Coventry City, Steve Ogrizovic has witnessed the club's full circle from Premier League highs to League Two lows.

What happened. Steve Ogrizovic, Coventry City's record appearance-maker, spoke about the club's turbulent journey from administration to their Premier League return, highlighting the lows of relegation to League Two and the club's resurgence.

• Ogrizovic served as player for 16 years, coach for 19, and analyst for seven.
• He cites the move to the CBS Arena in 2005 as the start of financial troubles.
• Administration in 2013 and exile at Northampton were among the lowest points.

“Going down into League Two, that was probably as low as it could get.”
