? Catching up with Olivier Tebily.
"I was really happy. I’ve got the flag from when we went up to the Premier League in my house. We went to see the crowd and I took it home. I still have it now. It reminds me of a really good moment, every time I see it."

What do we think?
Tebily made a total of 87 appearances for the Blues, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk, appearing in at least one competitive game in a total of six separate seasons for the club. Considering how fondly the former Ivory Coast international remembers the time that he spent at Birmingham City when recently speaking with the Blues’ official website, it may be understandable why some Birmingham fans have been sharing praise for the 44-year-old in response to his recent interview.
