"This is a serious, serious football club. I grew up with them as a top-flight club, but I didn't realise. Mark Robins had done an incredible job. To go and get promotion automatically as a non-parachute team with three games to go... These boys have managed to achieve something special and unique."
"Incredible moment. We weren't at our fluid best, but the quality of the ball in and the power of the header... We had to see it out, and we didn't know whether to attack. This is what it's about. Coming here and getting a point at this stage isn't easy. For doing this after 25 years... Wow. Wow."
Coventry City secured promotion to the Premier League, ending a 25-year absence from top-flight football. A 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers was sufficient for Coventry, who needed only a point to clinch their return. Bobby Thomas equalized after Blackburn initially took the lead. With 86 points, Coventry sits 13 points clear at the top of the Championship, achieving their highest points total in a single league campaign. Frank Lampard praised the team's accomplishment and the club's history, expressing pride in their achievement.
