History: Birmingham City enjoyed a memorable 2001/02 campaign under manager Steve Bruce, securing promotion to the Premier League for the first time since 1986. The Blues finished fifth in the First Division before defeating Norwich City on penalties in the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium. Darren Purse opened the scoring for Birmingham before Norwich equalised, with the match eventually decided by a dramatic penalty shootout. Experienced goalkeeper Nico Vaesen proved decisive, saving Norwich’s final penalty. Players including Stern John, Geoff Horsfield, Darren Purse and Robbie Savage played important roles throughout the campaign. Promotion marked a major turning point in Birmingham’s modern history.
