Benno: My Life in Football is a fascinating look into the footballing life of one of Coventry City's greatest ever players, FA Cup-winning hero Dave Bennett.

Follow the effervescent Benno's life from battling racism on the streets of Manchester and throughout his career to climbing those famous steps at the home of English football.

Benno had it tough from day one of his career. He was subjected to on-pitch racist abuse on his debut at Manchester City. He saw what should have been a shining moment of his career overshadowed when he was referred to as 'the little coloured boy' during 1981 FA Cup Final commentary.

But he fought back and overcame four leg breaks. He also enjoyed season after season in the top flight, becoming one of the country's leading wingers in the process - and he did it all with a huge smile on his face. My Life in Football is Benno's story - an extraordinary tale that reveals the best and worst of football in the 1980s.

Dave Bennett has teamed up with Rich Chamberlain to tell his story. Rich is a lifelong Coventry City fan and author of When the Sky Was Blue: The Inside Story of Coventry City's Premier League Years. Away from football, Rich is a former freelance journalist who has interviewed stars as diverse as rap royalty Ice-T, rock hell-raisers Mötley Crüe, pop songstress Sheryl Crow and football icon Jimmy Hill.
