Birmingham city in Europe

[stevemcd]

Hello

I know the words Birmingham and Europe will sound unfamiliar but can anyone advise me on which away games had programmes issued during the Blues' Fairs cup runs?

I have the Barcelona away 1960 final programme and have seen elsewhere that no programme was issued for the Barcelona replay game in Basle in 57/58 (though would like confirmation).

Can anyone add any more info?

regards to all

There was a programme for espanyol away, Robert Adcock had it in one of his midland auctions a few years ago.
Never seen an official prog for barca away (have seen club revista mags covering the game), although logically there should be one as they published for other games at time v british opposition eg wolves, hibs, sheff wed.

Definitely no programme exists for the Barcelona away 57/58 as I have all Barcelona programmes from the years 1956-1968 and they are all numbered however the last La Liga home game before the Birmingham match included a 2 page Preview but contained no line-ups.
Zagreb away 56/57 I can confirm a programme exists. I sold one at Sportingold back in December 2012
