Plenty will know that Alf Common was the first £1,000 player, but Benny Green was football's first £500 player when he joined Blues in 1903. First man to score at St. Andrew's. Killed in action 108 years ago today. Lest We Forget.

Right, Barcelona away. Flights; hotel; meals & match ticket. £29 all in. Who fancies it? 😀 #BCFC

Brought to Blues as a Reserve, but still played 27 times in his debut season (14 of them alongside Frank Buckley, who he was meant to understudy). Lest We Forget #BCFC

The eagle-eyed will spot that tonight's programme has a team in red & white stripes against a team in white. This isn't a head loss or a result of AI. The theme is our highest ever attendance (Everton in 1939), and that's what we wore!!! #BCFC ❤️🤍

Make that three wins from 20 wearing the poppy!!! 💙

Today is poppy shirt day. It will be the 17th year, and 20th game, that we've worn the poppy. Our record when doing so is ... erm ... modest, but let's not focus on that eh?!! Up The Blues Lest We Forget #BCFC #KRO

Tomorrow’s geeky shirt article in Blues News looks back at the kits worn in our inaugural PL campaign of 2002-03. Two long-sleeved gems to admire, including the menacing black away shirt…worn by a Frenchman…who goes by the name Christophe…it can’t be, can it? Oh for fffuu…

69 years ago tonight, St. Andrew's hosted its first ever game under floodlights. Johnny Newman had the (dis)honour of scoring the first goal ... past his own keeper! 45,000 were dazzled by the lights; new shiny kits & a thrilling game. Blues 3-3 Borussia Dortmund. #BCFC

On This Day 2001 Pompey 1-1 Blues The last Blues game where neither side made a single substitution. 22 started & 22 finished. There has been at least one sub in all 1,180 games in the 24 years since (& nowadays, usually bloody 10 - Grrrr!). #BCFC #KRO

To commemorate #WorldPolioDay, the Club are selling 50 limited-edition replica clocks in tribute to Club legend Jeff Hall, who lost his life to the disease in 1959. All profits made will be donated to the British Polio Fellowship. 💙 🔗 https://t.co/KIskt8yH2w

Who are the best side to wear red in the North West? Birmingham City!! ❤️ #BCFC

Tomorrow’s A Season in Shirts article looks back at the dismal 1988-89 campaign. Blues failed to register a victory whilst wearing two of the three shirts worn, culminating in relegation. ‘No contact’ training was even trialled in a bid to stop the injury crisis… @BCFC

The timing's either terrible or perfect, but my "First Time" theme in tomorrow's Blues News is Black players. Naturally, the focus is Carlos Francis, but includes 3 players who may have beaten him to it. Even if you don't read it, enjoy the blue socks & Mitre Pro League ball!

Hey @realmadrid, it's about time you came to see us again isn't it?!! 😀 @bcfc #BCFC

Blues 1981/82. As if the kit wasn't cool enough, they chuck in a couple of red adidas Tangos (I think these were called Night Stars?) for good measure. 😍 #BCFC

The Birmingham team from 1927/28 Finished 11th in Division 1
