It has been a difficult period in the history of Birmingham City with off-field issues dominating the headlines at St Andrews.
The Blues faithful has remained steadfast in their support for the club despite their relegation from the Premier League in 2011 and a play-off defeat against Blackpool 12 months later leading to a decade of underwhelming performances in the Championship.
Last season’s 20th placed finish in English football’s second tier continued a poor record with the two 10th placed finishes achieved in 2015 and 2016 still providing the high point for the club since they suffered play-off heartache ten years ago.
Despite languishing at the wrong end of second tier, Blues supporters will hope they can see their side progress up the table and enjoy a more productive season next time out.
And amongst their number are some very familiar faces with City supported by several celebrity fans - but how much are they worth after making a name for themselves in the public spotlight?
