Six years have passed since Jude Bellingham last played for Birmingham City, and three years since his younger brother Jobe wore the club's shirt for the final time. Jude, now 23, is a star player at Real Madrid, while Jobe, 21, continues his football education at his brother's former club in Germany after two seasons with Sunderland.
The brothers' impact on the club lives on at St Andrew's, where fans still remember their contributions. Craig Courtney, from the Tilton Talk fan podcast, noted that the brothers cared deeply for the fans and helped the club during tough times. Jude and Jobe each made 70 league and cup appearances for Birmingham City, but they never played together in a senior match.
On Thursday, Jude will return to St Andrew's wearing a Birmingham City shirt, potentially becoming the first brother pair to play for England in 19 years if Jobe earns his first cap alongside his veteran brother Jude in the Nations League game against Croatia at Wembley.
