    120 years of history which doesn’t include Stuart McCall who spent 15 years here as a player and manager but we have fecking Chris Waddle in it.
    I hate that picture

    I can only suggest that whoever compiled that montage of City legends and whoever approved its publication has little understanding of our history. I find it insulting to SMc!

    I normally don't let things like get to me but he's a legend of the club that will never be beaten in terms of legend status. How the hell would you as a club forget that?

    Indeed. In any such marketing, the three players we know just by their first names -- Ces, Bobby, Stuart -- should be givens. Any other players we can -- and do! -- argue over, but not those three.

    If you are going for one player from that era…..then his ultra record places him at the front of the queue!

    It's akin to leaving Moore off any WHU promotional stuff.

    I see the Club are rewriting history.

    If the Club was "born" on 29 May 1903, how come the Club was elected to the Football League on 25 May 1903?

    And how come the first two players signed up, by Bradford City, were Jack Forrest and Ben Prosser, from Stoke City, on 1 May 1903?

    Of course the Club dates back to the 19th century as a rugby playing Club, but the decision to run an Association Football side, under the name Bradford City, had effectively already been made back in March 1903.

    However, there was a members vote on 29 May 1903, at which the decision was made to drop the rugby team and proceed solely with the newly elected Association Football team.

    His face and name are all over a big conference suite, makes it even harder to fathom.

    Not when that one man has a history at this club that would be hard to replicate with any other player at any other club.

    I think it’s more to do with some kind of bust up with Sparks.
    Maybe it’s contractual where you can’t use images of people under contract with another club.
    Who knows, but a picture marketing our history without Stuart is just wrong.
    Also, why isn’t Hanson in it? Scored some of the most important goals in our history.

    Totally agree. An appalling omission. The man has bled Claret and Amber.

    Me thinks who ever is responsible for this marketing needs to do a little research with regards Bradford City or buy John Dewhirst's book, I'm sure many fans have different opinions of who should be on the flag but I don't think anyone would disagree Stuart McCall should be on it.

    Well this Moore chap can’t have been a legend, still referred to by his second name. ;)
