20 August 2005. Coventry City midfielder Claus Jorgensen scores the first goal at the newly opened Coventry Building Society Arena to put his side 1-0 up against Queens Park Rangers.

He celebrates with a bouncy, loping skip towards the corner flag.

23 August 2025. Coventry City's Haji Wright and Viktor Torp each score a double in the 7-1 demolishing of Queens Park Rangers as the club celebrates ending the 20-year wait to call the CBS Arena home.

They celebrate by skipping toward the jubilant fans inside the arena in homage to Jorgensen.

It's a full-circle moment, external which encapsulates the relief felt by supporters when owner Doug King was finally able to get the deal over the line for Coventry City FC to own the CBS Arena.

Jorgensen, now 49, is pleased his skipping celebration is being utilised once again.

"The amount of stick I've got for 20 years for that celebration... I've always had faith in it," he told BBC CWR.

"The celebration was a nice touch, they showed they had some sense of humour. [It makes] you feel connected to the club."
