A HISTORY OF BRADFORD CITY IN OBJECTS \
A 330+ page, all colour book that records the changing match day experience at Valley Parade since 1903. The content of the book promises to be unique in comparison to histories previously written about football clubs in Britain, let alone Bradford City AFC. This is not a statistical record about players or games, it is literally an illustrated history of the club in objects but not limited to the popular ‘100 objects only’ formula. A History of Bradford City AFC In Objects has been written and compiled by John Dewhirst who has one of the largest and most comprehensive private collections of BCAFC memorabilia. The book includes items from his collection supplemented with that provided by other collectors and supporters as well as material previously featured in the BANTAMSPAST museum. Most of the content has never previously been displayed or included in earlier publications. The title is also the first everr allall-colour-colour book featuring Bradford City and sets a new standard. The content includes historic memorabilia and ephemera relating to Bradford City includinguding a full record of programmes, souvenirs, badges, postcards, trading cards and other collectables sold at Valleyey Parade. CComparativeomparative items from Bradford (Park Avenue) AFC are also included. The book provides an alternativeve history of City’s 100 seasons of peacetime League football between 1903 and 2014. It tells the story of differentnt identities adoptedadopted by the club, an illustrated record of memorabilia from key events - including cup finals in 1911 and 2013 - as well as the history of supporter groups at Valley Parade. There is literally a wealth of nostalgia in the content with an appeal to supporters of all ages. There is even an illustrated gallery of more than 70 old scarves – how many can you recognise? Finally, new research by the author has uncovered previously untold detail aboutout the club’s history including the origins of our unique claret and amber colours. John was co-founder of The City Gent in 1984. He previously compiled City Memories in 1997997 and has assisted with a number of books about the club including Of Boars and Bantams in 1988, Along The Midland Road in 1996, Glorious 1911 in 2010 and Paraders: The 125 Year History of Valley Parade in 2011.
