None as it was during the war and only non competitive football was played apparently.
82/83 was in Spain with my mate World cup.We beat Norwich City away 2-1.
We won our opening 3 games that season but what happened at the end of the season definitely played a part in the 'typical City' tag.
Think it was the game at Rotherham after your birthday that we won 1-0 to gain promotion.Dunno but day before I was born 1st May 1966 we were promoted after game at Birmingham City 30/04/66
Great game that.It was the day after I was born…..ah, I remember it well.
MOTD coverage was shite, ref was so bias and don’t get me started on VAR that day ;-).
