Cyrus in the Sky Blue

The Association sends its congratulations to our member, ‘Cov.Kid’ former Sky Blue defender Cyrus Christie for earning a Wembley date with current club Fulham in the Championship Play Off Semi Finals. Last night the Cottagers, with Cyrus on the pitch for the Bluebirds the whole ninety minute, lost their their second leg game with Cardiff City 2-1 at Craven Cottage to go through 3-2 on aggregate having won the first leg in Wales 2-0. Fulham’s aggregate victory sets up an all-west London final at Wembley next Tuesday against Brentford (who also beat south Wales opposition in Swansea City). If Fulham make it all the way it will be deja vu for Cyrus as he went up to the Premier League with the Lillywhites the season he joined them from Midlesbrough for an undisclosed fee in January 2018.

Cyrus started his professional career at CCFC coming up through our youth set up and debuting for the Sky Blues in August 2010. By the time he left for Derby County in July 2014 he had scored four goals in 119 appearances for City. Staing eith the Rams for three seasons Cyrus moved to Middlesbro for the 2017-18 season. Since 2014 the 27 year old has also won 24 caps (2) goals for the Republic of Ireland.

Good luck Cyrus in the Wembley Final – remember, if things don’t go Fulham’s way we will likely see you next season in Championship fixtures against the Sky Blues!
