John and Peter Sillett both followed their father in signing for Southampton, although John never played for the first team.

1936

John Charles Sillett (20 July 1936 – 30 November 2021) was an English football player and manager.

He played for Chelsea, Coventry City and Plymouth Argyle.

John Sillett was born in Southampton, Hampshire, on 20 July 1936.

1954

The brothers moved on to Chelsea as teenagers, where Peter won the First Division title in 1954–55.

1955

He won the Championship with Chelsea in 1955, playing alongside his brother Peter Sillett.

1957

John made his Chelsea debut in 1957 and played over 100 games for Chelsea, scoring once.

1962

Sillett left Chelsea after the arrival of Tommy Docherty as manager, joining Coventry City in June 1962, who were at the time being managed by Jimmy Hill.

1963

Sillett helped Coventry to win the Third Division title in 1963–64, but his playing days were limited after suffering a back problem.

1966

In July 1966, he joined Plymouth Argyle, where he ended his playing career.

After retirement from playing, Sillett moved into coaching.

1968

He was appointed Bristol City youth coach in 1968 under manager Alan Dicks, a former Chelsea and Coventry colleague, and took the team to the FA Youth Cup semi-finals.

1970

From 1970 to 1974, Sillett was first team coach and played a significant part in the development of the team which went on to achieve promotion to the top flight in 1976.

1974

In June 1974, he was appointed manager of Hereford United.

1975

In 1975–76, the team won the Third Division title, with the prolific Dixie McNeil scoring 35 goals.

A year later they were relegated, having won only eight matches and finishing bottom of the Second Division.

1978

Sillett initially stayed on as manager, but resigned in February 1978.

They eventually finished seventh, which was their highest finish since 1978.

1979

Jimmy Hill invited Sillett to join the Coventry coaching staff in 1979.

1984

He left the club in 1984 after a falling-out with manager Bobby Gould, but returned in 1985 under Gould's successor, Don Mackay.

1985

The club were unable to participate in the European Cup Winners' Cup as English clubs were still banned from European competition following the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster.

1986

He was manager of Coventry City from 1986 until 1990, winning the FA Cup in 1987, and also had two spells as manager of Hereford United.

When Mackay departed in 1986 with just three games of the season left, Sillett was appointed chief coach alongside George Curtis.

They managed two wins and avoided relegation on the final day of the season.

Sillett was appointed Coventry's first-team coach for the 1986–87 season, with Curtis receiving the title of managing director; That season, the club went on to reach the 1987 FA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley, winning the game 3–2.

TV commentator John Motson is quoted as saying it was "the most exciting FA Cup final on which I've had the pleasure of commentating".

1987

Sillett became Coventry's sole manager from the 1987–88 season onwards, while Curtis returned to working on matters not related to the day-to-day running of the team.

Sillett bought David Speedie from Chelsea for £780,000, a club-record at the time, announcing that the club would "no longer be shopping at Woolworths, from now on we're shopping at Harrods".

The 1987–88 season began with another trip to Wembley, as Coventry played league-champions Everton in the FA Charity Shield.

40,000 Coventry supporters attended the game, which Sillett's team lost 1–0.

The first league game was a repeat of the FA Cup final, as Coventry played Tottenham, Speedie scoring in a 2–1 win.

The season was a disappointment, however, with their defence of the FA Cup ending in a fourth-round home defeat to Watford and another tenth-place league finish.

The following season City suffered one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history, as they lost 2–1 to non-league Sutton United in the third round.

They fared better in the league and were third in the table following a win over league-leaders Arsenal in late February.

1989

Coventry replaced a number of players during the 1989 close-season, buying defender Peter Billing and acquiring Liverpool's Kevin MacDonald on a free transfer, with David Phillips and Steve Sedgley leaving the club.

Despite a strong start, which saw the side top of the table after four games, City struggled to score goals and finished twelfth in the table.

They suffered another embarrassing FA Cup defeat, this time to Third Division Northampton, but fared better in the League Cup, reaching the semi-final with a 5–0 win over Sunderland before losing to eventual winners Nottingham Forest in the semi-final.

2018

During Sillett's first season, Hereford finished in a mid-table position, an improvement on the previous season's 18th place.
