It's milestone EPISODE 50 of Forever Blues, and we're back home at St. Andrew's!
With Taity away on holiday, Tatts is joined by a true Birmingham City legend, play-off hero, and cup finalist: Geoff 'Hors' Horsfield!
The lads reflect on a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Sheffield United, highlighting back-to-back clean sheets, the dynamic displays of Bright Osayi-Samuel, Jhon Solis' midfield commanding, and the fresh arrival of Max Bird from Derby.
Hors also takes a fascinating walk down memory lane, sharing incredible tales from Blues' iconic play-off campaigns:
⚽ Trevor Francis taking the team off at Deepdale
⚽ Silencing the Lion's Den at Millwall with Olivier Tebily
⚽ The drama of Cardiff 2002, Darren Carter's penalty, and a 4-day party on Broad Street!
Plus, we preview Bristol City's visit to St. Andrew's and break down their new £9m frontline.
