Birmingham City have had mixed fortunes since they formed as Small Heath Alliance in 1877, going on to enter the Football League in 1892. Along the way, they have had several promotions, played in two FA Cup finals, they have won the League Cup and have played in two European Fairs Cup finals. Blues players down the years have had their highs and lows. Here, for the first time, is a tribute to 100 of the club's outstanding performers. Illustrated throughout with high quality photographs, "The Legends of Birmingham City" will delight all true football fans.
