Hello and welcome to the Football for Kids podcast with me, Darren Reese.

It's time for yet another episode on another team in the English Football League,

and a team who have recently been on quite a journey,

and a team who have also, fairly recently, been subject to a celebrity ownership

and an enormous TV series about them. There's another team who's had some of that. Who was it?

Oh yeah, wrecks them, and of course we've done an episode on them. Anyway, in this episode,

of course, we're going to be talking about no other than Birmingham City Football Club in the English Football Championship.

Before we get into this episode properly, a massive shout out to everybody who's already checked out my show, Soccer for Kids, which is exactly the same as Football for kids, except for it's based only on US teams

and US players. The first ever episode is already out there for you to check out, and it's on

Christian Policic, one of the greatest US soccer players of all time, and the one I've literally

just dropped on Weston McKenney, the Juventus player

and the US midfielder who lights up the game every single time he steps foot on the pitch.

Now, I've only got one shout out to do on this episode. There's been so many which have come in,

but I know that you want me to get straight into the story. So a huge shout out to Theo the Arsenal fan, who on Apple podcast gives the podcast five stars.

He says, hello, please can you give a shout out to me?

Because I love the podcast so much.

But also, give my best friend Dylan a shout out.

He's also an Arsenal fan.

Thank you so much. Well,

thank you so much, Theode Arsenal fan. A huge shout out to you, to Dylan, and to every

single person that you know and you play football with and you go to school with and all of that

other good stuff. I really appreciate you taking the time to give the podcast five stars on Apple Podcasts.
