Birmingham City: Fans remember Harlee Dean’s goal

Birmingham City fans have reacted to a memorable moment involving defender Harlee Dean, who netted a superb header in the 2017/2018 season against Fulham.

28-year-old central defender Dean arrived at St. Andrews in 2017 after spells with Dagenham & Redbridge, Southampton and Brentford.

Going straight into the starting eleven for the Blues, Dean has made over 100 appearances in all competitions since, providing Pep Clotet with a good option alongside the likes of Marc Roberts and Jake Clarke-Salter this season.

Birmingham sit just below midtable in the Championship standings as things stand, improving vastly on the opening six months of the season which saw them be fairly inconsistent under Clotet. Dean, who has four goals to his name in a Blues shirt, netted his first goal for the club during his first campaign, opening the scoring with a header against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

With the current standstill in football, Blues’ official Twitter account have been sharing a ‘Moment of the Day’, and the club chose to look back over Dean’s first goal.

Reacting to the post via social media platform Twitter, countless fans have remembered Dean’s opening goal and below are some of those tweets.

✊ No better time to score your first goal for the Club.
