It’s not always about what you have or what’s been handed to you. Worry less about who’s at the door and worry more about who’s ready to answer it. Success and pride start inside

Introducing... Kieran Clarke, a 23 year old no-nonsense centre-half who plays for The Royal National College for the Blind and a recent part of the @England set up. After losing his sight at 5, it wasn't until his late teens that Kieran started playing, thanks to some strong advice from coach and goalkeeper Dylan. Come for the stories of big tackles, stay for the surprise. The #FADisabilityCup finals are this weekend—we’ll be watching them live on @footballontnt and pledging to @EE’s Proud Supporter programme. You should too.

Everyone at Birmingham City is shocked and saddened to learn of the news that our former goalkeeper, Matija Sarkic, has passed away at the age of 26. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and all those that knew him.
RIP Matija Sarkic.
