The monument honours George Curtis and John Sillett who managed the team that lifted the FA Cup in May 1987.

Crowds gathered at the Coventry Building Society Arena, near the south entrance, on Thursday and applauded as the statue was revealed.

Speaking ahead of the unveiling, Joe Elliott, the former club chairman, said it was a memorable day and commended the pair’s “lifetime of service”.

The monument captures the moment the pair lifted the Cup after the Sky Blues defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in a classic final at the old Wembley Stadium.
