Burnley, 27 February 1924 The 1923–24 Football League season was Birmingham Football Club's 28th in the Football League and their 11th in the First Division. They finished in 14th position in the 22-team division. They also competed in the 1923–24 FA Cup, entering at the first round proper and losing in that round to Huddersfield Town.
Twenty-five players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were eleven different goalscorers. Goalkeeper Dan Tremelling was ever-present over the 43-match season; among outfield players, half-back Percy Barton appeared in 40 matches. Joe Bradford was leading scorer for the third successive year, with 24 goals, all of which came in the league.
Billy Beer, who as a player made 250 appearances for the club in the 1900s, succeeded Frank Richards as secretary-manager before the start of this season.
