A legend, a fighter, a goalkeeper who shaped our history. His dominance, his courage, his character—unforgettable.
Steve Ogrizovic, the man who remains the ultimate symbol of the Sky Blues’ resilience, is currently facing a deeply personal challenge. Reports from within the club indicate that the 1987 FA Cup hero and long-time servant of Coventry City is dealing with an unforeseen family emergency.
The news has sent ripples through the Ricoh Arena and beyond. “Oggy,” who holds the record for the most appearances in the club’s history, has always been more than just a player or a coach; he is the heartbeat of the community. In response to the news, the club has immediately offered its full, unconditional support, ensuring Steve has all the time and privacy he needs to be with his loved ones.
Current club officials released a poignant statement: “There are moments when football becomes entirely secondary. Steve is family. He has our total solidarity, and we ask that everyone respects his privacy during this time.”
From the iconic save in ’87 to his decades of loyalty on the sidelines, Ogrizovic has always stood tall for Coventry. Now, the fans are standing tall for him. Under the hashtag #LegendOggy, a massive wave of support is pouring in from generations of fans who grew up watching the “Flying Pole” guard the net.
While his presence around the club will be missed during this interval, the message from the Sky Blue faithful is unanimous: Family comes first.
