Series 8 - Episode 1: Keith Houchen

Our new series kicks off with Keith Houchen, a player whose career is never forgotten thanks to his famous diving header for Coventry City in their FA Cup win in 1987. It was his penalty in the FA Cup win over Arsenal that means his time at Bootham Crescent is also similarly cherished. Keith's career wasn't all plain sailing from being released as a young player at Crystal Palace, relegation with Orient, a move to Scunthorpe that wasn't working out but ultimately is a story of how hard work and self belief enabled Keith to play in the top flight of both English and Scottish football.
