This iconic photograph captures the moment Birmingham City's Martin Grainger (left) scores the opening goal against Ipswich Town in the 2001 Worthington Cup Semi-Final second leg. The image, taken by acclaimed sports photographer Matthew Ashton, transports us back to a pivotal moment in Birmingham City's footballing history. The Worthington Cup, now known as the Carabao Cup, is one of the oldest domestic football competitions in England, and reaching the semi-final stage is a significant achievement for any team. In the 2000-01 season, Birmingham City managed to progress to this stage, setting up a two-legged tie against Ipswich Town. The first leg ended goalless, leaving all to play for in the second leg at St. Andrew's. With the tension high and the crowd roaring, Grainger rose above the defenders to head home a corner kick, giving Birmingham City the crucial lead they needed. The goal proved to be a turning point in the match, as Birmingham City went on to win 2-1 and secure their place in the final. This photograph is a testament to Grainger's skill and determination, as well as the team spirit and resilience of Birmingham City during that season. It serves as a reminder of the excitement and passion that football brings, and the thrill of a team overcoming adversity to achieve success.
