DYNAMITE Dele Adebola finally moved on from Crewe Alex this week, for a cool £1million.
The striker, who proved a driving force in the Alex's successful Division One bid last year, showed just how much he would be missed by powering his new team Birmingham to a 1-1 draw with high flying Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Birmingham boss Trevor Francis said: "He can be very satisfied with his first appearance.
"He helped us to keep possession and was unfortunate not to score."
Dele returns to Gresty Road next week - this time in opposition.
Crewe boss Dario Gradi said: "I'm pleased for Dele. We hope they will continue to work on him and improve him, but not by next Tuesday!"
