STEVE Ogrizovic has paid tribute to his Coventry City FA Cup Final understudy Jake Findlay, who has died aged 70.
A commanding goalkeeper in his day, Findlay moved down from Scotland to start his career at Aston Villa as a 15-year-old in 1975, going on to make 15 appearances before being sold to David Pleat’s Luton Town in 1978 as a replacement for Milija Aleksic.
