ABSENT TO COVENTRY

Uncle 'Arry boycott looks a good move for Lampard

- BY JASON MELLOR

Frank Lampard's famous - and superstitious — uncle is loving watching his nephew's Coventry side cut a swathe through the Championship as the unbeaten leaders continue their quest to end a 25-year Premier League exile.

Lampard insists the popular 78-year-old has an open invitation to come and join the party as another near-30,000 crowd roared the Sky Blues on to a fourth straight win.

The former West Ham boss (right) insists he will continue to cheer them on from afar so he does not jinx their impressive start, which continued with this hard-fought victory over a dogged Blackburn.
