Welcome to a very special episode of the Sky Blues Extra Podcast! Dean is joined by author, journalist and lifelong Sky Blues fan Richard Chamberlain for an in-depth conversation about his books covering Coventry City's story, from the Premier League years in When The Sky Was Blue, through the dark times of Sky Blue Fall, to the joy of Back At Last, his account of our incredible Championship-winning season.
