Stamps Of 1987 Triumph On Sale

Stamps marking Coventry City’s 1987 FA Cup victory have gone on sale on the internet.

The sheets of 20 unused mint stamps show pictures of the Sky Blues celebrating their win.

They were produced as part of a series of stamps commemorating great FA Cup moments. They were not on sale in this country, but were made for some of the British dependencies.

The stamps, which are on offer for around £4, are available on the eBay auction site.

There are four different lots:

A picture of the team celebrating the win, with each stamp having a face value of 15p

An action shot showing Cyrille Regis taking on Ossie Ardiles and Chris Houghton from Spurs and a £2 stamp of captain Brian Kilcline raising the trophy

The Coventry City badge next to the England Three Lions Crest. Each stamp has a face value of 19p.
