Adventures of the Association Tie Pt.26: Football Writer’s block!

Frank with Steve (left) and Terry (right)

The increasingly popular Coventry City Former Association tie sported, we would like to think, by all the smartest people around and about the club was taken by CCFPA Committee Member Frank Pritchard to the recent prestigious FWA (Football Writers Association) Gala Awards Dinner at the Lancaster London Hotel on May 12th 2011.

Frank (and his tie) is pictured with just some of the large number of football luminaries he met at the event including (left) guest of honour West Ham’s Scott Parker (the journalists ‘Footballer of the Year’ in one of the closest results ever) and (right) former Arsenal star Alan Smith. 

As can be seen from the top picture two former England Managers, Terry Venables and Steve McLaren also had an opportunity to admire the Association neckwear as modelled by Frank! 

The Association tie has been so successful it has sold out but we are pleased to announce that a new delivery is imminent. Associate members of the Association may purchase a tie for £8 inc plus p&p and others who would like this stylish fashion item (which will go particularly well with the Sky Blues retro strip for next season!) will be charged £10 plus p&p.
