Bradford City Association Football Club was founded in 1903 and was instantly elected into the Second Division of the Football League, even though the club had not played a game! In 1908 the club was promoted to the top flight and secured its only FA Cup win in 1911 and this book has an nostalgic photo of the captain, J.H. Spiers holding the cup. In 1999 after 77 years the club regained the high ground of the Premiership. Our football book gift covers the struggle and the glory of this mighty Lancashire club.

This Bradford City football book includes forgotten scores and teams like Bradford City 7 Merthyr Tydfil 1. We also cover victories against the more ‘dominant’ teams a 3:0 thrashing of Everton from 1960 and a one nil victory over Liverpool in 1980. All the glory and the behind the scenes detail are covered in this fascinating history that belongs in all collections of Bradford City memorabilia.

Bradford City has gone through a number of nicknames over the years. At the start of the club the side was referred to as the Robins or Wasps. It’s believed they took over this name from Manningham FC, as Manningham played in claret and amber hoops. Other names used include the ‘Citizens’ and the ‘Paraders. Now we know the fans as the ‘Bantams.’ Give the fan in your life a Bradford City history book as a souvenir and they’ll treasure it as a vital addition to their Bradford City memorabilia collection.

The opening of the Reebok stadium is also covered in one story and so is that 6:1 thrashing of Spurs in 1996. All in all this Bolton fan gift mixes the major matches with the incidental detail that go into a club and its followers. Bolton history is retold for the true fan; a must-have souvenir for their memorabilia collection.
