DT Cameos>> Karren Brady

 

Karren Brady is the Managing Director of Birmingham City F.C during Harchester United's two visits to St Andrews; the 98-99 FA Cup Quarter Final Replay and four years later, for the two clubs' first meeting in the League for twenty years. Appointed to her role in 1993 at aged twenty-three, she is seen as an inspiration to Harchester's own businesswomen, MD Marilyn Harwood, PR owner Ann Patterson and later owner/chief exec Lynda Block.

 

After a 1-1 draw at Addison Road, the FA Cup Replay takes place at St Andrews where Karren gets to experience all of Jerry Block's wit and humour, but a Paul Furlong goal isn't enough to keep them in the competition as Harchester put in two goals. Harchester are on a losing streak when they are back in 2002-03 and Karren meets current chairman Phil Wallis. Goals from Paul Devlin and Damien Johnson give the Blues a 2-0 home win, though Karren is sympathetic to Phil for his club's current status.
