I enjoyed designing this collection of three Coventry City prints.

The inspiration for the first print was Keith Houchen's spectacular diving header for Coventry against Spurs in the 1987 FA Cup Final, one of Wembley's most iconic goals.

The third print celebrates Coventry's 2017 EFL Checkatrade Trophy win at Wembley, 50 years after their famous FA Cup victory.
