runners-up at the Atari Soccer Six-A-Side indoor tournament held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham on January 25-26, 1983.
Did Brum win it?
I ask because I've only ever done posh seats a couple of times and one was to watch Brum and I was sat next to the directors box. At HT I saw the Birmingham City trophy cabinet and there were only 2 trophies, an autoglass thingy and an Atari soccer six trophy.
I laughed a bit too loudly, querying if an apprentice had won a gaming tournament 🤣
For those wondering, the inter city fairs cup win ( *pre runner to Uefa Cup) was at a time when it was a tournament between cities that had fairs. The City of Birmingham was represented by Birmingham City but the trophy stopped with the City rather than the club.
I hearby claim today's award for useless niche football knowledge.

Did they not win a league cup under McLeish? Possibly got relegated the same season

That was after I went. Was mid 90s, was working for Bass who sponsored the league cup (Worthington or Carling?) and my landlord was a big Cov City fan. He asked me to sort him and son out for a cup game Brum v Cov
I'll Google it...Big Ron was Cov manager and sacked soon after.

When I lived up there the Villa fans used to mock the Brum fans for their lack of silverware (hence why I know about the Fairs Cup not being a proper trophy when only open to Cities and not even needing to finish high to enter)
Last ditty from me is from when I did the Nou Camp stadium tour around 84. I found myself alone in a room with various footballing memorabilia including a pennant given to them by some Suffolk club in the Cup winners cup QF (?) in 78/79 season.
For a couple of minutes I thought about the rights ans wrongs of taking it but opted not to liberate it and relocate it to my bedroom wall.
