The last line on that picture of Birmingham Football Club...

'Small Heath Club a future of unqualified prosperity'.  They were even deluded back then.

That made me laugh. However, if you accept that 'unqualified prosperity' could allude to both ends of the scale then I think we can honestly say they have achieved unqualified prosperity. ;)

When I was at primary school I had a mate who's house contained photos of this guy. Garratty was his great grandad. My mate's dad did a lot to help form my appreciation of Villa's history.
