The exhibition celebrates one of the greatest FA Cup Finals of all time and looks at how a football team can unite a whole city. Visitors will experience what is was like to be in Coventry City’s 1987 F.A. Cup winning squad, by entering the exhibition through a representation of the players’ tunnel. The muffled sounds of the crowd grow progressively louder until visitors enter the exhibition to the full roar of the Coventry City fans. Photographic portraits of the FA Cup winning team have been commissioned by the Herbert. Part homage to the players and part social commentary on modern football, the portraits by acclaimed photographer Paul Smith will illustrate how much football has changed in the last 25 years.
