Football is one of the biggest sports on the planet, with more than a billion people around the world watching it. As a result, it has a huge influence on all sorts of media and pop culture. This will be evident again as Birmingham City prepare to pay a tribute to the Netflix series Peaky Blinders.

The show is officially coming to an end after its sixth season release. The final season will release on February 27th on BBC One, but the release date for the season on Netflix is not yet released. Cillian Murphy plays the lead in the show and has garnered a lot of fans for his performance over the years.

Birmingham City FC responds to the call of the Peaky Blinders

The show is based around Birmingham City, set in the post-World War 1 era in an area called Small Heath. Interestingly, Birmingham City Football Club was initially known as Small Heath Alliance. Before the release of their sixth season, Peaky Blinders’ official Instagram account gave a challenge to the football club to go back to their roots and go back to their initial name.

The football club accepted the challenge and replied with a post of their own, saying that they accept the challenge. Moreover, the football players will walk out on the pitch with the series’ theme song Red Right Hand, and the pitch will be surrounded by hoardings based around the series.

Birmingham City and their position in the league

The Championship club isn’t having the best time in the second tier of English football as they are currently sitting in 18th place in the table.

The club isn’t in any danger of dropping down into the relegation zone, as they have 16 points over Derby County in 22nd place. The club has only won 9 of their 34 matches and they would want to win a few more matches in their last 12 matches of the season.
