Keith Houchen header for Coventry City v Spurs - FA Cup Final 1987 - Coventry City 3 Tottenham Hotspur 2 - Sky Blues (Various Sizes)

An iconic football moment is captured in this classic book cover poster.

This version depicts the iconic Keith Houchen flying header in the 1987 FA Cup Final between Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur. After only two minutes, Clive Allen scored his 49th goal of the season, heading past keeper Steve Ogrizovic at the near-post from a perfect Chris Waddle cross from the right. Within seven minutes though, the Sky Blues were level through Dave Bennett. The London club were back in front five minutes before the break though through defender Gary Mabbutt. Midway through the second half the Midlanders were level again – Bennett's pinpoint cross from the right was met by striker Keith Houchen with a diving header from six yards out for a memorable goal, which was voted in the top 10 goals ever scored at Wembley. Houchen was also awarded the BBC's Goal of the Season for 1987. The scores stayed level until full-time and the game went into extra-time. Six minutes in, the unfortunate Mabbutt scored an own goal after Lloyd McGrath centred the ball from the right and it took a deflection off of the Spurs defender's left knee from six yards out and over keeper Ray Clemence. One of Coventry's fanzines remains mischievously entitled 'Gary Mabbutt's Knee' also known as GMK.

The title of the book “The Man with the Midas Touch” is taken from the immortal commentary by John Motson for the BBC. The full commentary is as follows and it is a Motson gem! Keith Houchen, the man with the midas touch in the FA Cup, strikes gold for Coventry!
