* Birmingham made their debut in European competition in 1955/56 their first appearance in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup competition certainly didn't last a season. That tournament continued in 1956/57 and 1957/58 when they finally lost to Barcelona in the semis.

** Birmingham's FA Cup Semi-Final against Manchester United was played at Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday FC.

 


"The first half was end-to-end stuff. In contrast, in this second half it's been one end to the other."
Lou Macari
