 The match, played on 29 April 1967, attracted the largest crowd in Highfield Road's history with an official gate of 51,455 and probably many thousands more who were not counted.Dubbed the "Midlands Match of the Century" by Hill, the game was dominated by Wolves for the first hour, and the visitors led 1–0 at half time.It was Coventry's day, however, as Ian Gibson created two goals and scored one to record a 3–1 victory.
