Coventry manager signed me then got the sack

Blair Turgott, a former captain of Maidstone United, talks about his turbulent six-month stint at Coventry City, during which he had three managers and made friends with James Maddison.

Ex-Maidstone captain Blair Turgott won’t forget his time at Coventry in a hurry.

Turgott will be an interested observer when two of his old clubs meet in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday night.

He’ll be watching on TV in Sweden, where he is preparing for the new Allsvenskan league season with former champions BK Hacken.

Turgott shared memories of his eventful spell at the Sky Blues, joining them from West Ham at the end of the January transfer window in 2015.

He was only there a matter of months but played under three managers as they battled for League 1 survival.

It was also the club where he met and played alongside James Maddison, now one of the biggest stars in the Premier League.

The pair remain friends today.
