Small Heath F.C., champions of the inaugural Football League Second Division 1892–93

Birmingham City Football Club is a professional association football club based in the city of Birmingham, England. Founded in September 1875 as Small Heath Alliance, the club turned professional in 1885[1] and three years later, under the name of Small Heath F.C. Ltd, was the first football club to become a limited company with a board of directors.[2] They were later known as Birmingham before adopting their current name in 1943.[3] Elected to the newly formed Second Division of the Football League in 1892, they have never dropped below the third tier of English football.[4] They were also pioneers of European football competition, taking part in the inaugural season of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[5]

The list encompasses the major honours won by Birmingham City, records set by the club, their managers and their players, and details of their performance in European competition. The player records section itemises the club's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions. It also records notable achievements by Birmingham players on the international stage, and the highest transfer fees paid and received by the club.
