McLeish delighted for Birmingham fan Gardner after goal

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 03/13/2010 - 22:41

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish was delighted for Craig Gardner after his goal in their 2-2 draw with Everton.

Gardner, signed from Aston Villa for £3million in January, had been rated doubtful to be fit enough to face David Moyes' side.

But he capped another fine fightback by City who had trailed 2-0 midway through the first half.

McLeish said: "Craig was ill yesterday. He was a doubt this morning. There has been a virus going about and Craig was a victim. He was supposed to come in for a fitness test this morning but told the doctor he was okay.

"He started sluggishly but he got his second wind and became a threat.

"It was a great strike from him for the goal, and, being a Birmingham fan, I know what it will mean to him."
