Great moment in Birmingham City FC history: Euphoric Promotion to Premier League after Playoff Final Victory over Norwich City (12-05-2002) This iconic photo captures the pure elation and relief on the face of Birmingham City FC goalkeeper Nico Vaesen as he celebrates his team's hard-earned promotion to the Premier League following their thrilling playoff final victory over Norwich City on May 12,2002. The scene at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, was electric as the Blues secured their place in the top flight of English football for the first time in 24 years. The 2001-02 season had been a rollercoaster ride for Birmingham City. After a strong start in the Nationwide League Division One, they experienced a dip in form that saw them struggle to maintain their position in the top six. However, they managed to regain their form towards the end of the season, securing a place in the playoffs. The playoff final against Norwich City was a tense and nerve-wracking affair. The game ended in a goalless draw after 90 minutes, setting the stage for a nerve-wracking penalty shootout. Goalkeeper Nico Vaesen was the hero of the day, saving two penalties to secure a 4-2 victory for Birmingham City and their long-awaited promotion. This photo encapsulates the raw emotion and excitement of that unforgettable day in Birmingham City FC history. The sea of blue and white shirts in the background, the jubilant expressions on the players' faces, and the confetti falling from the sky all serve as a reminder of the euphoria that engulfed the team and their fans on that magical day in May 2002. Barry Coombs captured this moment perfectly, immortalizing the joy and relief of Birmingham City FC's promotion to the Premier League. This photo is a testament to the passion and determination of the team and their fans, and a reminder of the special bond that exists between them.
