The 2014-15 campaign delivered a season of dramatic resurrection for Birmingham City. Following a historic 0-8 home defeat that left the club teetering near the bottom of the table, the immediate impact of new manager Gary Rowett sparked an incredible climb. The Blues surged from 23rd to secure a respectable 10th-place finish, driven by the attacking power of new signing Clayton Donaldson, whose 16 goals proved vital in a defiant campaign that remains a definitive chapter of grit and resurgence.
