CCFPA has always had great relations with CCFC’s Diamond Club for supporters of over 50 year’s standings and we have many members in common as well as sharing Joe Elliott as President of both organisations.. The Diamond Club meets regularly over lunch and typically one or more of our former player members will be a guest speaker at the lunches.

The Diamond Club’s December meeting next Thursday (8th December 2016) at the Ricoh Arena will be their Xmas celebration and CCFPA member and 1987 CCFC F.A.Cup winning hero Lloyd McGrath will be a special guest. He will be welcomed by Joe and Lady President (Joe’s wife Grace) for an afternoon packed with fun. A three course lunch (including turkey & trimmings and Xmas pud) and wine will be served. Doors open at 11.30am for lunch to start at 12.45 followed by speeches, bingo, raffles and the like. As well as the jocular emceeing of CCFPA’s Billy Bell the assemblage will also be entertained by ‘The Belles of Three Spires Choir’.

Lloyd is bound to be reminiscing about the F.A.Cup winning years and his eleven interesting years at Highfield Road from starting as an apprentice in 1983 to 1994 making well over 200 first team appearances. After a spell playing abroad with Sing Tao he saw out the rest of his professional career with Pompey retiring in 1997. Lloyd remains a popular figure in the locality running the Hawkesmill Sports and Social Club in the north of Coventry.

The event is already likely to be nearly sold out but further information can be got from Diamond Club Secretary Jenny Poole at
