    Go on JJDD.....let's see your answer 'trotted' out sounds like you must have it.

    Tommy Lawrence (Tranmere) and Jim Eadie (Bristol Rovers) both nicknamed the flying pig and the Coventry game featured many more flying pigs

    That's it !  Great detective work - @JohnnyJoeyDeeDee

    this is the answer below that I was going to put up if no-one got it:

    The answer is of course Flying Pigs.

    Charlton v Coventry went viral with the ‘Pigs might Fly joint protest by Charlton and Coventry fans against the Duchatelet Regime and Coventry owners SISU which indeed saw pigs flying onto the pitch at the start of the game.

    Charlton v Tranmere Rovers in 1972 saw the appearance in goal of Tommy Lawrence (Tranmere and ex Liverpool) whilst Jim Eadie kept goal for Bristol Rovers in the 1973 game at The Valley.

    Both keepers acquired the nickname, and were known affectionally by their respective fans as, The Flying Pig.

     BTW I threw two pigs onto the pitch from the front of the East Stand at the start of the Cov game one of which was handed back to me by Steve Ogrizovic the Coventry goalkeeping coach – so I kept him (the pig that is not Steve Ogrizovic).

    top marks for the most obscure quiz of the year (so far) .. the Only Connect teams would have struggled with that one  :)
