Birmingham City have made some controversial transfer deals over the years, many of which have included bringing in players on loan.
Plenty have worked out but others have completely failed. Much of the action came throughout the Premier League years, but some also in the Championship.
In recent times, the likes of Lukas Jutkiewicz, Maxime Colin, Harlee Dean, Che Adams, Krystian Bielik and Ethan Laird have worked out well, while rewards are set to be reaped from the 2024 summer exodus.
Others signings have been far from memorable, however, with either a handful of games played or just very little involvement. Some, on the other hand, did enjoy success but have slipped the memory.
With that in mind, here are 15 players you (probably) forgot once played for Blues.
1. Scott Sinclair
One of the better known names on this list, Sinclair has played all over the UK and succeeded. He was not so good at Blues, though, with no goals in 14 games during a 2009 loan. | Getty Images
2. Nicklas Bendtner
Known for his time at Arsenal, Bendtner also played for Blues - scoring 11 goals in 42 loan appearances (2006-07). | Getty Images
3. Carlo Costly
The Honduras international had quite the journeyman career, with his only English adventure with Blues on on loan in 2009. He played eight times. | Getty Images
4. Nicky Butt
Many won’t remember that Butt, a Manchester United and Newcastle United legend, had the 2005-06 season on loan at St. Andrew’s. He scored three in 24 games. | Getty Images
