From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list includes all those who have played at least one league match for Birmingham City Football Club and the club's predecessors Small Heath and Birmingham. Nationally-organised league football in England began in 1888 with the foundation of the Football League. Small Heath F.C. was a founder member of the Football Alliance, formed the following year, which ran alongside the Football League. In 1892, the Football League decided to form a Second Division, inviting the members of the Football Alliance to join; as one of the less successful members of the Football Alliance, Small Heath were placed in the Second Division. The Premiership split from the Football League in 1992, and Birmingham City first won promotion to that league in 2002. Any player having played in one of these three leagues for Small Heath, Birmingham or Birmingham City is listed below.

Frank Womack holds the record for Birmingham league appearances, having played 491 matches between 1908 and 1928, closely followed by Gil Merrick with 485 between 1946 and 1959. If all senior competitions are included, Merrick has 551, followed by Womack's 515 which is the record for an outfield player.^[1] As of 31 May 2008, the player who has won most international caps while at the club is Maik Taylor with 39 for Northern Ireland.^[2][3]

The goalscoring record is held by Joe Bradford, with 249 league goals, and 267 in total, scored between 1920 and 1935. No other player comes close; Trevor Francis is the nearest with 119 league goals, 133 in total, scored between 1970 and 1979. Walter Abbott holds the records for the most goals scored in a season, set in 1898–99, with 34 league goals in as many games in the Second Division and 42 goals in all competitions.^[4] Bradford holds the record for league goals scored in a top flight season with 29 in 1927–28.^[5]

As of the end of the 2007–08 season, 191 players have reached the milestone of 100 senior appearances for the club, of whom 161 have played 100 or more league matches. Two, Maik Taylor and club captain Damien Johnson, still play for the club.
