    RIP. Jack and his family have served the club wonderfully in my time of watching.

    I would like to see a permanent reminder at the stadium, a suite or stand named after him perhaps?

    We don’t have many off the pitch legends but Jack is one of them for this club.

    RIP Jack. Bradford City will be forever grateful.

    I firmly echo those sentiments. We've a lot to thank Jack for.

    RIP. Rename it as the Jack Tordoff stand. He was so much more than a sponsor.

    Unless it we're called the JCT600 "Jack Tordoff" stand. Might encourage them to sponsor it forever. No objections to naming a stand after him at all, but I would love to see Stafford recognised in the same way.

    Great supporter of the club financially that he was, and we all appreciate that, I think you are pushing it with that statement. A certain Stafford Heginbotham had probably more to do with the ground being rebuilt than Jack and it was paid for by a grant from the defunct West Yorkshire County Council.

    I appreciate Jacks' efforts but if we are starting to name stands after past Chairmen, then Stafford should be top of the list for saving the club not once, but twice. Without that St Georges Hall meeting in the mid sixties that he set up there would have been no BCFC in most of our lifetimes.

    R.I.P Jack, I don’t think we would have a Bradford City now had it not been for your help on many occasions, especially in 1983 when the club seemed doomed.

    Actually the Main Stand is the JCT 600 stand and not the Sunwin Stand as some insist on calling it! Perhaps re badge it as the JCT 600 Jack Tordoff Stand!

    True, however giving it Jacks name would probably “ stick” as opposed to JCT …….. That’s too corporate and too impersonal imho.

    R.I.P. Jack Thanks for all you did for our club over the years.

    We have so much to thank yourself and Stafford Heginbotham for.

    To and from work we drive along Sticker Lane, maybe that could be renamed Jack Tordoff Way? You have certainly left your mark on that road.

    He rebuilt that stand after the fire, it would be a fitting tribute to someone who has supported the club as a fan and financially through thick and thin.

    Yes I believe you are correct, I was more thinking in terms of being owner at the time and probably securing the funding at the most difficult of times for the club.

    Just reading Jack has passed he's in a better place now.

    Even though he didn't know me personally he always gestured with a wave whenever we saw each other at the ground.

    R.I.P Jack.

    Thanks for the years of support. Without JT there may not be a BCAFC now.

    R.I.P. Jack Tordoff and thoughts with your family.
