    A City Legend.

    Had we had the Andy Cook before injury, we would have been pissing this league.

    Thank you and wishing you all the best at Grimsby Andy.

    Not ashamed to admit I've had a small cry! Obviously he wasn't the future but i just feel sad that it's petered out for him, he deserved better

    One word... Legend.

    A real shame we couldn't give him a proper send off.

    Well I have cried. It just doesn’t feel right. He is our very own living legend.

    He worked incredibly hard to score goals for Bradford City. He achieved so much with us and I wanted him to stay. Yes I know it probably wouldn’t have been good for him not playing but my gut is telling me that this just feels wrong. He was and always will be a fan favourite and I wish him nothing but the best.

    Can’t add much more to everything that’s been said.

    The fact he got the biggest cheer on the pitch after the Fleetwood game when he hadn’t played since January says it all.

    Proper legend and will be welcomed back for as long as he wants.

    Such a shame to see him go without a proper VP send off
    Not a cigarette paper between him and James Hanson as the second best striker we have had in recent times
    Sir Bobby obviously the No 1
    Good luck big man smash them in for the mariners am sure you will

    I hope he comes back as a club guest one game - maybe a midweek one if Grimsby aren’t playing that day - and comes on the pitch at HT for a speech / lap etc!l for a send off!

    Don't think he has been treated in the best way in recent months, city legend, in many peoples eyes, hope he is not replaced by a youth player on loan with hardly any league experience.

    I wish he'd not gone there to be honest, every time we have faced them he's had vile chants about being a flipping p3do and now they all like welcome home!

    F**k 0ff you don't deserve him :*@
