Small Heath F.C., champions of the inauguralFootball League Second Division1892–93

Birmingham City Football Club, anassociation football club based inBirmingham, England, was founded in 1875 as Small Heath Alliance. For the first thirteen years of their existence, there was no league football, so matches were arranged on anad hoc basis, supplemented bycup competitions organised at local and national level. Small Heath first entered theFA Cup in the1881–82 season, and won their first trophy, theWalsall Cup, the following season.[1] During the 1880s, they played between 20 and 30 matches each season.[2]

In 1888, the club became alimited company under the name of Small Heath F.C. Ltd,[3] and joinedthe Combination, a league set up to provide organised football for those clubs not invited to jointhe Football League which was to start the same year. However, the Combination was not well organised and folded in April 1889 with many fixtures still outstanding.[4] Small Heath were founder members of theFootball Alliance in1889–90, and three years later were elected to the newly formedSecond Division of the Football League. They topped the table in their first season, failing to winpromotion via thetest match system then in operation, but reached the top flight for the first time in 1894.[5] They were renamed Birmingham in 1905, finally becoming Birmingham City in 1943.[6]

Birmingham City FC Seasons

The club's official history rated1955–56 as their best season to date.[7] The newly promoted club achieved their highest ever finishing position of sixth in theFirst Division, reached the1956 FA Cup Final, and became the first English club side to participate in European competition when they played their opening game in the group stages of theInter-Cities Fairs Cup.[a] Their only major trophy is theLeague Cup, which they won in1963 and2011; they reached the FA Cup final twice and the final of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup twice. During the 1990s, they twice won theFootball League Trophy, a competition open to clubs in the third and fourth tiers of English football, and in2024–25, they won the third-tierEFL League One title with a league record points total of 111.[8]

As of the end of the2024–25 season, the club's first team had spent 57 seasons in the top division of English football, 60 in the second and 5 in the third. The table details their achievements infirst-team competitions, and records their top goalscorer and average home league attendance, for each completed season since their first appearance in theBirmingham Senior Cup in 1878–79.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^abBirmingham City became the first Englishclub team to take part in European competition when they played their first group game in the1955–58 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup on 15 May 1956, a goalless draw away atInternazionale. The competition lasted over three English seasons with the final not played until 1958. TheLondon XI, a representative side made up of players from several London clubs, were the first Englishteam when they played their first group game in 1955.[39]
  2. ^abAn attempt was made to set up a league calledThe Combination involving clubs not invited to join theFootball League. Lack of proper organisation meant it was wound up in April 1889 with many fixtures still outstanding. Small Heath played 11 of their full 16 fixtures.[4]
  3. ^Founder member of theFootball Alliance, which started a year after the Football League.[5]
  4. ^TheUnited Counties League (or United Midland Counties League) was one of several short-lived leagues of similar name. This one was established in 1894, involving ten teams fromthe Midlands, to be played as a supplementary competition to fill vacant dates in the season without the trouble and expense of arranging friendly matches.[9] Small Heath finished third in their four-team section in the 1893–94 season,[10] and did not participate again.
  5. ^Beginning with the 1925–26 season, the FA Cup was structured so that the third round proper contained 64 teams. Prior to that date, the structure had varied, so rounds are not directly comparable to the round of the same name after 1925. For example, in 1892–93, Small Heath's first season in the Football League, there were only three rounds proper before the semifinal, as compared with the current six.[13][14]
  6. ^TheLeague Cup competition began in the1960–61 season.[16]
  7. ^Includes goals scored in theFootball Alliance, theFootball League, includingtest matches andplay-offs,Premier League,FA Cup,League Cup,Inter-Cities Fairs Cup,UEFA Europa League,EFL Trophy and predecessors,Anglo-Italian Cup,Texaco Cup,Anglo-Scottish Cup andFull Members' Cup. Goals scored in seasons from 1881–82 to 1888–89 sourced toMatthews (1995), p. 231, from 1889–90 to 2009–10 sourced toMatthews (2010), pp. 224–455, 473–483 and from 2010–11 onwards sourced toSoccerbase.[19]
  8. ^League matches only (including Football Alliance, Football League and Premier League, but excluding test matches and play-offs). Sourced fromMatthews (1995) up to and including the 1994–95 season, from European Football Statistics[20] from 1995–96 to 2001–02 inclusive, fromESPN FC[21] thereafter, or individually.
  9. ^Divisions are sorted according to their level within theEnglish football league system at the time.
  10. ^The first of Slater's two goals in the FA Cup first round tie against Derby Town, a 4–1 win played at theCoventry Road ground on 17 October 1881, was the club's first goal in national competitive football.[22]
  11. ^abFA Cup goals only.
