Always had a soft spot for Exeter after we thrashed them in the league cup in the 80s. Any team who concedes four to Simon Stainrod, deserves our sympathy.
Stainrod almost ran me over outside Villa Park once. He was pulling out on to the Trinity Road as I was passing the holy gates.

I had a few quid on Coventry 3 Exeter 1 at 22/1 before the game. I put the game on the telly just before Coventry made it 3-0. Even then I wasn't optimistic as I thought at 3-0 Exeter would pretty much throw the towel in. You can imagine how delighted I was when they pulled that late goal back. The commentator made a comment along the lines of "at this stage it doesn't really matter". I think I might have even shouted out loud "it bloody does to me"!
