Birmingham City F.C. Crest
Birmingham City is back in the Premier League for the 2009-10 season.
Birmingham City Manager.
Alex McLeish has been in charge since November 2007.
Prior to joining the Blues, he was the manager of Scotland’s national team for 10 months in 2007. He resigned after Scotland narrowly failed to qualify for Euro 2008.
Before that, McLeish guided Rangers to two championships of Scotland’s Premier League as well as five cup championships (two Scottish and three Scottish League) in five seasons – 2000-01 to 2005-06.
McLeish had an outstanding playing career as a central defender with Aberdeen in Scotland. He also made 77 international appearances for Scotland, including the World Cup Finals in 1982, 1986 and 1990.
Birmingham made its second and to date final appearance in the League Cup championship game in 2001, falling 2-1 to Liverpool.
The start occurred in 1875 when Holy Church in the Bordesley Green District of Birmingham adding a football side to cricket in its sports program.
Birmingham’s best finish in the top flight was sixth in the First Division in 1955-56.
Through 2008-09, Birmingham has spent just over half of its seasons in the Football League — 55 of 106 — in the top flight. In addition to 50 in the old First Division, they have been in the Premier for only five of 17 since it was formed for 1992-93.
Birmingham’s lone piece of major domestic silverware is the 1963 League Cup. The Blues defeated Aston Villa in the home-and-home series, 3-1, on aggregate.
Birmingham’s return to the Premier means there will be at least two Birmingham Derby games in 2009-10.
The side was known as Small Heath Alliance until becoming Birmingham City Football Club in 1905.
Birmingham City Stadium.
St. Andrew’s Stadium has been the Blues’ home for more than a century. It opened on 26 December 1906 — a 0-0 First Division draw with Middlesbrough.
Legend has it that gypsies were evicted from the land in order to build the stadium. Thus, they put a 100-year curse on the land. If the legend is true, the curse has expired.
Initially, St. Andrew’s accommodated 75,000 spectators in a large grandstand and a large uncovered terrace.
St. Andrew’s was renovated and downsized to an all-seat stadium in the 1990s. Now, the seating capacity is just over 30,000.
The Blues won the championship of the old Second Division four times — 1892-93, 1920-21, 1947-48 and 1954-55.
Birmingham has appeared twice in the FA Cup championship game, losing 3-1 to West Bromwich Albion in 1931 and Manchester City in 1956.
The Birmingham Derby began on 27 September 1879 — a 1-0 win for Small Heath Alliance over visiting Aston Villa.
However, there also may be a sense of foreboding. That’s because the Premier is such a strong league. And when the Blues have been in the top flight, they have never consistently finished in the top half of the table.
Small Heath Alliance was a founding member of the Football League’s Second Division. After winning the championship in the first season – 1892-93, a second-place finish in 1893-94 earned the side its first promotion to the First Division.
But this may be the cause of mixed emotions for all associated with the Blues, including the supporters – Bluenoses.
Birmingham trails in the series against Aston Villa, 32-40. There have been 26 draws.
There should be pride because Birmingham earned an automatic promotion by finishing second in the Football League Championship in 2008-09.
