EDITORS COMMENTS
In the electrifying world of football, upsets are always a thrilling part of the game. And on the chilly night of November 29,2000, at St. Andrew's Stadium, Birmingham City Football Club delivered one of the most memorable moments in their history. Facing off against Newcastle United in the fourth round of the Worthington Cup, the underdogs were determined to make a statement. As the clock ticked down in the second half, it seemed that Newcastle United would secure their victory, with Birmingham City struggling to keep up. But just as hope seemed lost, Michael Johnson stepped up to the plate. With only minutes remaining on the clock, the striker received a perfectly timed pass from teammate, Darren Byfield, and without hesitation, Johnson unleashed a powerful shot that soared past the outstretched hands of Newcastle's goalkeeper, Shay Given. The stadium erupted in jubilation as Birmingham City took the lead, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The photo captures the sheer elation on Johnson's face as he turns to salute the ecstatic fans, who had watched their team defy all odds. The image encapsulates the raw emotion and unbridled passion that football brings to its fans and players alike. It serves as a reminder that in the world of football, anything is possible, and that underdogs can and will rise to the challenge. This iconic moment in Birmingham City's history was immortalized by the skillful lens of Steve Mitchell, who perfectly captured the essence of that unforgettable night. The image stands as a testament to the power of determination, teamwork, and the indomitable spirit of football.
