  One of the sleeping giants of English football, Birmingham City began life as Small Heath and in its early seasons in the Football League showed enormous potential. In 1906 Small Heath moved to its permanent home at St Andrew's and changed its name to Birmingham City. Although the club has often been overshadowed by the exploits of neighbouring Aston Villa, its has boasted a number of famous players including Frank Womack, Freddie Wheldon, Joe Bradford, Harry Hibbs, Gil Merrick, Trevor Smith, Malcolm Beard, Bob Latchford and the club's present manager, Trevor Francis. From the players to the managers, from the biggest victory to the worst defeat, this is an encyclopaedia of the club.
