About the Book

A season that may never be beaten, captured forever.

Coventry City's record-breaking 2025/26 season may never be beaten. It Never Happens For People Like Us is a quality, coffee-table-sized tome chronicling one of the most ground-breaking campaigns in the club's history, and the unlikely band of heroes who achieved it.

Written by author and former sports journalist Kevin Unitt, a Sky Blues fan of 40 years, it brings together his many well-received long-reads on the players and the club, with statistics, artwork, photography and the voices of those who lived it. The title draws from a particularly poignant line by The Enemy.

Reviews

What people are saying

Loved it. It's so much more than the story of a promotion season. It's about Coventry, family, memories, people we've lost and why this football club means so much to us. Kevin manages to make you laugh one minute and properly get you the next. It feels like our story.

John DalzielPresenter & broadcaster

It's fantastic. A must-read for all Coventry City fans. It captures the 2025-26 season perfectly, using humour, insight and anecdotes. You can't put it down.

Katie StaffordBBC sports reporter

Treads a perfect line between the emotional, serious and light-hearted… spine-tingling.
