Description


Bradford City Miscellany collects together all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about the Bantams. In these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing stats and facts. Heard the one about the FA Cup quarter-final defeat which was blamed on the players' ill-advised visit to a chocolate factory? How about the City goalie who brought about the introduction of ballboys? Or the roly-poly inside-forward who was a lollipop baron? Do you know how many games City had played before they were admitted into the Football League? How many years it took them to win the FA Cup? Or the last time they played local rivals Bradford Park Avenue in a League match? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any United fan who holds the riches of the club's history close to their heart.
