    Hi! My Dads dad, played for Bradford city between 1968-1972, he was called Peter Watson Middleton. Unfortunately he died when my dad was really young and we don’t know much at all about him. I was just wondering if anyone has any information about him, any stories, what he was like? Any programs he was in? Any articles? Anything would be greatly appreciated! If you could contact me on milliemiddletonwk@gmail.com or text me on [DELETED - Mod] that would be amazing, Thankyou!

    My husband has loads of programs in the attic. He remembered his straight away. He will have a look in the morning.

    Here you go. Front second from left. Slightly ’Mod’ haircut compared to some of his team mates.

    A great historian of Bradford City is John Dewhirst. If you follow this link you could get in touch with him. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Bradford City and may have more photo’s and links to articles stories. https://bantamspast.net/the-authors/
    Ian Cooper who played at City when your Grandad was at Valley Parade is/was involved in match day hospitality and is a very approachable guy.

    John used to lodge at a schoolfriend house in Shipley and ended up running a pub in Otley. That's years ago and not heard anything since
