A side containing Mick Ferguson, Ian Wallace, Terry Yorath, Graham Oakey, Bobby McDonald and Tommy Hutchison played a brand of attacking football that swept many teams aside, often by large margins of victory.
The game reached its zenith in the final minutes when Blyth saved John Ryan's penalty kick to help Coventry to a 5–4 victory.
In the same season he was Man of the Match in the home game against Liverpool when he turned in a faultless performance in a 1–0 victory, making several saves in particular from David Fairclough and a penalty from Phil Neal.
During his time at Coventry he was responsible for the signing of 16-year-old Chris Kirkland, who went on to play first team football for the Sky Blues before smashing the British transfer fee for a goalkeeper (£6 million) when bought by Liverpool in August 2001.
Blyth has worked with several International goalkeepers including, Artur Boruc, David Marshall, Magnus Hedman and Chris Kirkland.
