Great moment in Birmingham City football history: Obafemi Martins' Thrilling FA Cup Fifth Round Performance against Sheffield Wednesday (19-02-2011) This photograph captures Nigerian international Obafemi Martins in full flight during Birmingham City's exhilarating FA Cup Fifth Round encounter against Sheffield Wednesday on 19-02-2011. The image, taken by renowned sports photographer David Davies, encapsulates the excitement and intensity of the match, as Martins charges towards goal with the ball at his feet and the Sheffield Wednesday defence in hot pursuit. The season was 2010-11, and Birmingham City, then managed by Alex McLeish, were determined to make a mark in the FA Cup. Martins, who had joined the club in the summer of 2010 from Russian side Rubin Kazan, was a key figure in their attack. In this particular game, he was in scintillating form, leaving defenders in his wake with his blistering pace and skill. The FA Cup Fifth Round is a prestigious stage for any footballer, and Martins rose to the occasion, scoring a brace in the match. His first goal came in the 23rd minute, a cool finish after a mazy dribble, and his second, a stunning volley from the edge of the box, put the Blues in a commanding 3-1 lead. Birmingham City went on to win the game 3-2, securing their place in the FA Cup Quarter-Finals. This photograph is a testament to Martins' electrifying performance on the day and his significant contribution to Birmingham City's FA Cup run. It is a moment that will live long in the memory of the club's fans and a reminder of the thrills and excitement that football can bring.
