EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures a pivotal moment in Birmingham City Football Club's history, as Trevor Francis leads his team out onto the pitch at St Andrew's Stadium in preparation for a Division Two clash against Sheffield United in the 1978-79 season. Francis, who had joined Birmingham from Newcastle United the previous year for a then-British record transfer fee of £999,999, was a towering figure both on and off the pitch. His arrival marked a turning point for the club, as they embarked on a successful period of promotion and establishment in the top flight. The photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Peter Robinson, perfectly encapsulates the excitement and anticipation of a big match day. The sea of blue and white shirts in the stands, the lush green grass of the pitch, and the determined look on Francis' face as he takes charge of his team, all combine to create a sense of energy and expectation. The game itself would go down in history as one of Birmingham City's greatest victories. Trailing 1-0 with just minutes remaining, Francis scored a dramatic equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw, earning his team a valuable point and keeping their promotion hopes alive. This photograph is not only a testament to Francis' talent and leadership, but also to the passion and spirit of Birmingham City Football Club and its fans. It serves as a reminder of a golden era in the club's history, and a source of pride and inspiration for generations of supporters.
