1. Title: "Steve Hunt Amongst the New All-Seater Stadium Seats: A Moment in Coventry City's History" In this evocative photograph taken by Peter Robinson, Coventry City Football Club legend Steve Hunt is seen relaxing amongst the newly-installed all-seater stadium seats at Highfield Road. The image captures a moment of tranquility amidst the bustling activity of the stadium's transformation. Highfield Road, Coventry City's cherished home ground, was the first English football club ground to be fully converted into an all-seater stadium. The transition from terraces to seats was a significant milestone in the history of English football, marking a new era of safety and comfort for spectators. Steve Hunt, a key player in Coventry City's successful teams of the late 1970s and early 1980s, is seen here taking a break from the construction work, perhaps reflecting on the rich history of the ground he once graced with his talent. The photograph not only encapsulates the sense of change and progress but also pays homage to the club's past. The all-seater stadium seats, now a familiar sight at football grounds across the country, were a novelty at the time. Their installation at Highfield Road represented a commitment to the fans' safety and comfort, as well as a nod to the evolving landscape of English football. This photograph, taken during the pivotal moment in Coventry City's history, serves as a poignant reminder of the club's past, present, and future. It invites us to appreciate the evolution of football grounds and the role of iconic figures like Steve Hunt in shaping the sport's history.
