George Raynor Coventry City’s forgotten giantRaynor was a football purist who had led Sweden to the Olympic gold medal in the 1948 London Olympics15:01, 17 OCT 2014Sixty years ago next year Coventry City, then a struggling Third Division South outfit, hit the back pages of the national newspapers by enticing top English coaches Jesse Carver and George Raynor from their well paid positions at AS Roma and Lazio respectively.It was seen as a massive coup by the City board and its chairman Erle Shanks and the highly respected men arrived in Coventry to a fanfare of publicity.Carver, who won Serie A with Juventus and built up a great reputation in Italy, would only stay at Highfield Road for six months, before being lured back with a massive salary but Raynor would stay for almost 18 months.After Carver jumped ship George stepped into the managers position but in the summer of 1956 he was demoted to coach again after the arrival of Harry Warren.Raynor was a football purist who had led Sweden to the Olympic gold medal in the 1948 London Olympics and third place in the 1950 World Cup.His ideas didnt sit well with Warrens outdated and Neanderthal tactics and when Sweden came calling again, seeking a man to lead them in their home World Cup in 1958, George was grateful to leave the primitive cheap jordans, up and under Third Division style of play.Amazingly for a man who football has largely forgotten about, there have been two books published this year on George Raynor.Italian journalist Federico Farcomeni has written a short E book of 64 pages entitled George Raynor The Untold Story of English Footballs Forgotten Giant which makes for interesting reading and is available in Kindle form for only 1.53.Meanwhile, Ashley Hyne has produced a far meatier biography entitled The Greatest Coach England Never Had.Hynes research is excellent for instance he interviewed former City player Lol Harvey, one of the few ex City men still alive who played under Raynor.Returning to Sweden in 1957 with just a year to prepare a team for the 58 World Cup he had the job of revitalising a team that had failed to qualify for the 1954 final stages and had regressed considerably since he had left them to go to Italy in 1953.With the help of clever tactics and his own brand of motivation Raynor prepared his team with infinite detail and became the first Englishman to coach a team to the World Cup final.Former Coventry City manager Jesse Carver looks on as W. Erle Shanks, chairman, reads to the press the official statement of Carver’s resignation at Highfield Road in December 1955Unbeaten in the group stage, they went on to defeat USSR and holders West Germany to reach a final against the odds on favourites Brazil. Sweden took an early lead but the silky skills of Garrincha, Didi and 17 year old Pele swept away the hosts in a 5 2 defeat.Raynor, however, was a Swedish national hero but when he returned to England a few months later the only job he could get was at Midland League Skegness.One of the best stories in the book is about Swedens meeting with the great Hungary side of the early 1950s.The Magyars were unbeaten in three years when Sweden arrived in Budapest just a week before Hungary were due to meet England at Wembley in what would turn out to be a watershed game for England.Raynor had done his homework and recognised the danger of Hidegkuti, the deep lying centre forward.
