I took this picture, which is on display in Barcelona's fabulous museum at Kamp Neu, about five years ago. I have seen it twice. Once at the museum and once at St. Andrews when it was handed over to the Barcelona captain in 1957. Blues were the first British team ever to reach the final of a European cup competition a fact of which we Blues supporters are very proud.
Film from BritishPathe of the match follows. You may have to click on it to view it at BritishPathe's site and unfortunately there is no sound:-
BIRMINGHAM CITY V. BARCELONA
As compensation however there is sound in this clip of us thrashing The Pensioners in the cup:-
