Comments
A real "Brummie", born within 5 miles of the ground, Ian always seemed destined to play for the Blues, even though he arrive via Shrewsbury, Sunderland, Ipswich and Everton. He could move into midfield and often fancied himself as a striker when the opportunity arose. Later went on to be assistant manager at the club for a short period of time following the departure of Lou Macari.
