Product Description
Birmingham City: Head to Head reveals for the first time how the Blues have fared against every club they've ever played, in any competition, since the club entered the Football League. From Altrincham to York City, Birmingham's complete record of matches against each club is looked at in detail and illustrated with pictures. Also included is a table of players who've played for both clubs and a 'fact file' highlighting the most surprising nuggets to be gleaned from this fresh way of interpreting the club's statistics. Did you know that Joe Bradford, Blues' most prolific goalscorer, has scored more than twice as many goals for Birmingham (267) than his nearest rival, Trevor Francis (129)? Or that Birmingham have not met local rivals Aston Villa in the FA Cup for more than 100 years? Other gems include the fact that Kenny Burns's four-goal haul against Derby in 1976 was the last time a Birmingham player scored four in a league match; that Blues have twice won matches 12-0 - against Doncaster Rovers in 1903 and against Walsall in 1893; and that Birmingham were responsible for Liverpool's heaviest-ever defeat, a 9-1 drubbing, in December 1954. All these facts and figures, along with countless others, are easily accessible in Birmingham City: Head to Head, which will be an invaluable addition to any fan's bookshelf. This new addition to Breedon's well-respected stable of football statistics books has been meticulously researched and compiled. Comprehensive enough for the die-hard statto, yet readable enough for the armchair fan, it is sure to appeal to everyone with an interest in the history of this great Birmingham club.
