This iconic photograph captures a pivotal moment in Birmingham City Football Club's history, as Trevor Francis leads his team out against Sheffield United in a Division Two fixture on March 13,1977. With an expression of determination etched on his face, Francis, then aged 23, was about to write his name into the annals of the club's history. Francis, who had joined Birmingham City from Mansfield Town for a then-record fee of £150,000 just a year earlier, was already making waves on the pitch. But it was in this game that he truly announced himself as a star. Scoring a hat-trick in a 5-2 victory, Francis' performances that day helped propel Birmingham City towards promotion to the First Division. The photograph, taken by renowned football photographer Peter Robinson, perfectly encapsulates the excitement and anticipation of the moment. The sea of fans, dressed in their blue and white stripes, can be seen in the background, eagerly awaiting the start of the match. The contrast between the bright sunlight and the dark shadows cast by the players adds to the drama of the scene. Francis went on to become a legend at Birmingham City, scoring a total of 123 goals in 281 appearances for the club. His hat-trick against Sheffield United remains a standout moment in the club's history, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the passion, skill, and determination that have long been synonymous with Birmingham City Football Club.
