    10 seconds in and it's already the best video I've seen on RUclips in a long time. I love Barry Fry and have some incredible memories of when he was in charge. It was a wild time but so fun!

      Shows you have no class or what it takes for us to be a top club. Sure Barry fry became a blue nose but he was tin pot with a tinpot club mentality and this was the worst period in our history. You know nothing

      To say that tells me you weren't there. Read the rest of the comments from those that were.
      It wasn't about being a "top club", we were enjoying sharing great days in a tin pot world. This trait is the embodiment of being a Bluenose.
      Glory days

      @@paulstephenson1086 People's favourite eras are personal to them. I loved this era and I don't care if you didn't, you're not dictating what our personal experiences with this club are.
      What is also interesting is that your favourite Blues player ever is Paul Tait. When did he play? remind me? You're a joker.

      We did indeed… true story… about a week later, I kicked my football over next doors fence… was about to run around to get it as per usual, then suddenly this huge man was looking at me towering over the fence… “here you go mate” he said, threw my ball back… and I suddenly realised it was Big Kevin Francis!!! Turns out he was my neighbours best mate!!! Great guy, got me loads of autographs on serviettes from a players wedding… brilliant memories 🙌🏻💙

    You've got to love him, what a guy. I wish Brian and Alex could get him on here with some of his funny anecdotes from his time with us (and before). I once went to see him at St Andrew in one of those 'an evening with' events and I was in tears with some his funny recollections. I guess some of his memories wouldn't be suitable for a public forum, but I'm sure there'd be plenty enough anyway.

    Barry is still doing a great job for Posh - a real football man. Will have enjoyed yesterday’s match. Although a Posh fan, I had the opportunity to see Brum play Forest when Barry was manager. He didn’t do as well as manager of Posh, but kept the club afloat by second mortgaging his home. This was especially tough as he had a large family.

    What a legend, been a blue nose since 1968 and these were mad times, never seen anyone sign as many non league players to Birmingham! Loved it when he used to run along the touch line when we scored , no wonder he had two heart attacks. ! Many years ago they did a documentary on him and it was pure class , at the end he said to his wife in bed 'fancy a bit' !😂
