#7 Gypsy curse part I

Birmingham City v Nottingham Forest - Sky Bet Championship
St. Andrews was built on the land on which Romanis used to stay

Birmingham City apparently played for 100 years under the curse of Romani Gypsies. When the club moved its location from Muntz Street to St. Andrews and built a stadium on the land on which the Romanis used to stay.

After that, for the next 100 years, Birmingham City failed and failed and had to fight battles in which victories were never seen.

Ultimately on Boxing Day in 2006 – a 100 years from the curse – the curse was lifted as they won 2-1 against QPR.

Five years after that, they won the League Cup by beating Arsenal 2-1 at the Wembley.
