    Sad to hear that Pat Liney has died,he was City keeper in the late 60s and early 70s having been signed from Park Avenue in 1967. Lovely bloke I once met him at a City meeting and he still loved Bradford City. R.I.P Pat.

    I can only echo that. I was at St. Clare’s as a young lad and was always “Pat Liney” when we played in the playground or on the field. My first football hero. I know Pat’s lad used to post on C&B and here. Just know your family is in my thoughts.
    Rest In Peace Pat.

    RiP . My teenage years epitomised. Never an inkling of animosity when he joined City direct from Avenue from memory. Always recall his broad Scottish accent.

    Sad to hear of this.

    Pat was the first keeper I vividly recall from my childhood watching City.

    I believe he still kept an interest in City long after he retired.

    He used to do turns as a singer in the clubs too.

    RIP Pat and condolences to his family

    As others have said, Pat was a constant in my early years of going to VP with my schoolmates.
    RIP Pat, another one of my favourite players gone.

    From what I remember he was not the biggest compared to modern day keepers but a very good goal keeper, and singer by all accounts although I never had the privilege of hearing him.
