Great print capturing a pivotal moment in Birmingham City Football Club's history during the 1992-93 Nationwide League Division One season. In the image, Birmingham City manager Trevor Francis (left) is deep in conversation with the club's owner, David Gold (right), at Port Vale's Vale Park stadium. The atmosphere is tense as the two men discuss strategies and tactics, with the weight of the game's outcome resting on their shoulders. Francis, a legendary figure in Birmingham City's history, had taken over as manager in 1991, replacing Brian Little. He brought with him a wealth of experience as a player, having won the European Cup with Nottingham Forest in 1979, and later managing Forest and Aston Villa. His appointment was a significant one, as Birmingham City looked to bounce back from a disappointing season in the second tier of English football. Gold, a successful businessman and entrepreneur, had taken over as owner in 1993, following the sale of the club by the Raglan brothers. His investment in the team and the club's infrastructure helped to lay the foundations for a period of success in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This print is a testament to the close relationship between manager and owner, and the importance of communication and collaboration in achieving success on the football field. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Birmingham City Football Club, and the many memorable moments that have defined its storied past. Mike Egerton, the photographer, expertly captures the mood and tension of the moment, making this print a must-have for any Birmingham City fan or football history enthusiast.
