About this book

38,000 fans fill out Villa Park, and the majority aren’t happy. Birmingham hold a 3-1 lead from the 1963 League Cup final first leg, and they’re not interested in making this match exciting. Sitting deep and booting the ball into touch at every opportunity, the Blues win their first major trophy by subjecting their fierce rivals to a turgid, boring, goalless draw. Glorious.

This personalised Birmingham newspaper book charts the Blues history from 1905 to recent seasons. Authentic newspaper articles from the time cover match reports, transfers and managerial changes. A chance for any Birmingham fan to immerse themselves in the history of this legendary football club.

Archivist insight: We reproduce these newspaper articles from the Daily Mirror scan archive. In some cases, there’ll be blemishes and the reproduction quality might not be as clear or precise as it was in the original paper.
