Coventry City 1999–2000 football season
During the 1999–2000 English football season, Coventry City competed in the FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons).
Season summary [ edit ] Coventry City were one of the Premiership's best-performing sides at home during 1999–2000 , achieving 12 victories at the Highfield Road stadium. However, they failed to win a single away game all season, ruining their hopes of getting anywhere near the top five, and they were restricted to 14th place in the final table. 1999–2000 also marked the end of 43-year-old goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic 's illustrious career at the club, and severed their final remaining link with the 1987 FA Cup winning side. Robbie Keane proved a successful signing with 12 goals in 34 league appearances.
