    Blimey. I can remember Abbott and Costello playing for us, but didn’t realise we’d had Hall and Oates as well!

    Tell you what broncs it doesn’t seem all those years ago since we were watching them does it. And for all the connectivity it gives you it was better for not having things like social media and message boards

    Hi! I’m on the hunt for more information about my grandad Peter Middleton who played for Bradford between 1968-1972, I was just wondering if anyone had any programs with him included or information on him, thanks!

    It is the greatest BCAFC kit ever.

    I don't think it can be bettered.

    But that is only my opinion.

    We've been there seen it done it, they can't take those memories away, not all good in fact most bad but I wouldn't change them for any other team, I've posted before its the good times we've had that we need to remember during the bad times.

    Strange that I would be able to name most of those players from the 60s but struggle to identify today’s lot when I see their pictures l

    If you watch the Bradford City History video below and go to 18'10" there are clips of the two City goals v Tottenham in 1970. Peter Middleton is briefly visible in both clips.

    Thank god this lovely nostalgic thread is ongoing to take us away from the present day misery. Keep it going fellahs, and don't even think of moving it to "where are they now"

    I know all the BCAFC female fans of the day were rather keen on Peter.

    All I remember is that he was a very tricky player and could leave the opposition defence staring at "fresh air" as he waltzed past them.

    He had skill by the bucket full.

    May I say looking at the team photo,what a great looking kit ;)

    I never got the chance to see Peter Middleton play,much to young ;) but I’m sure he was a very good player by others who saw him in the time he played for us.

    Something really to be proud of Millie.
