Name The club was formed in 1922 by employees of
Peel Connor, and was known as the 'Connor'. They played in the
Coventry District League until 1926 when due to an amalgamation with Magnito Ltd, they were renamed
Magnet FC. They continued playing under this name until 1934 when they changed again to
GEC (Cov) FC. This name stuck for longer, lasting until the 1970s when they became
GPT (Coventry) FC, and then changed again in 1999 to
Marconi (Coventry) FC, and then when Marconi sold off their land in 2006, it became Coventry Copsewood FC.
On the pitch During its early years, the team played in the District and Works League, and had success in the post war years, and then again in the 1970s when they won their league's internal cup four times, the Coventry Evening Telegraph Cup three years running and the Birmingham Junior Cup twice. In 1993, the club applied to join the
Midland Football Combination. They finished 5th in each of their first five years in Division Two, but gained promotion due to their facilities. In the 1996–97 season, they did the double in Division One, and were promoted to the Premier Division. In the early part of the 21st century, manager Paul Mills led the club to several finishes near the top of the table, and qualification for the later stages of their cup competitions, being runners-up in the Telegraph Cup twice, winning the Coventry Charity Cup three times and winning the Tony Allden Cup. Since then, with the departure of Mills, they underwent a rebuilding process and finished mid-table in 2005–06, but slipped to near the bottom of the division in 2006–07. In 2008, the club reached the Telegraph Cup Final. In the 2010–11 season, they reached both the League Cup Final and Telegraph Final. In the next season, the club won the Coventry Charity Cup. ==Ground==
